A massive capitol ship that can be used as a mobile station and battleship. Aside from designing the ship to allow players to dock in it while moving, the most challenging part was applying a material technique that implimented a "detail" overlay. This is a repeating texture that gave specular and normal map detail to a ship that might have needed well over manageable texture map sizes for cross platform compatability.

The first in a series of projects to replace legacy ship assets. It was crucial that the new asset fit inside the orignal collision mesh to ensure that it was "the same ship" but only had a new look. I wanted to vary the materials such as the grill for the intake next to the cockpit and give some extra, fun/cool engine detail between the fins.

The second to be replaced, I was given a bit more liberties on the silhouette as this ship was considerably larger than my Hornet redesign. Interpreting the rounder, pointed design was challenging to replace as so many players were very established with it.

The third replacement. What a transformation. Making a much more modern look for a ship from one that was design with curvy, long shapes was tricky. Ultimately, I loved opening up parts of ships and giving them a visual structure. My version of the Centaur was all about hard edges but a arch silhouette from any angle. I also liked making look a bit mean. ..If a spaceship can be mean.

Another replacement where the collision mesh was the limit/outline for the new design to fit into. A nippy fighter, the Warthog was fun to pay homage to old school ships from various sources.

The quintessential hauler. Escorted from station to station by capitol ships and Vultures, the Behemoth is the go to cargo ship for all your inventory movement needs. This ship was fun as the original has a kind of simple silhouette and leant itself to a very utilitarian interpretation.
