It was based off an old meme<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Which after some model searches resulted in the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The next spaceship is the old one from the webgl project on vorticieflux6626.ihostfull.com<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Parting out the ‘ol saucer shaped craft and experimenting with chaotic texture mapping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changed to quad engine design and chopped off the extended fuselage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Alright, starting to get project sorted into workable parts objects, some adjustments made…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Some panels and gun group objects. These should be able to rotate free-hemispherically from fuselage surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Minor edits<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Corrective geometry, shader node texture for plasma lined effect on hull. Turret added<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Additional material and lighting, some mirror geometry and gun importing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Some texture experimentation, created ‘Turret Metal’ Shader, somewhat approximating the alien circuitry intended…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here is a screenshot from the model viewer demonstrating the effect<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Added ‘Alien Metal’ from Ryan King Art<\/a> on YT, tutorial posted below. Used for engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While interesting, this doesn’t have quite the aesthetic for this particular ship, it certainly would look nice on a larger vessel, properly tweaked for scale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, let’s see if taking some free Turbosquid spaceship<\/a> apart improves the playground of parts and textures to work from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the result<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Added a new camera, TODO: Change planetary data in simpleSolarSystem to multidimensional array and clean up scene building to actual planetary scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

TODO: Add panel displays for 2 main engines where wind connects to fuselage, add turret control station and space assault armor station near rear airlock. Add second door to airlock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planet is coming together<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Preliminary render of ship over planet<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Well, didn’t end up working on this last night, but found a procedural gas giant ringed planet tutorial. Added to notes, #8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTE: Unfortunately, this series of modeling exercises currently exists on a broken SSD. Whether or not it is recoverable, remains to be seen or rendered moot by rework. Regardless, the focus will now shift into webapp testing on a Spaceship Demo page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ok, loaded a rough port of spaceflight_sim<\/strong> project from the old site, located at https:\/\/sparkonelabs.com\/space\/space.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now there is a port of simpleSolarSystem from my old github at https:\/\/sparkonelabs.com\/space\/simpleSolarSystem.html<\/a>, however the quality of workmanship on that script is lacking for the moment while I research conversion of blender rendering to iso-quality in Three.js<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTES (Blender):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
