Hey all,

Isaac did a fantastic job on the Kite and Takouba class spaceships, but in order to use them in game a 3D artist (modeller/texture artist) needs to turn the reference designs into usable ships for the game.

I've been on the lookout for such a person, and so far I've been blessed to have attracted talented people to work on UoN. This time is no different. Pete McNally, who is certainly one of the best 3D artists I know of, began working on the Kite ship this weekend. He will be turning Isaac's design into a working ship for the game.

It will be a number of weeks before there is anything to show, but in the mean time you can check out some of his personal work here on ArtStation. His blog is also chock full of excellent work.

Thanks for reading!

I took a look at his site and the artwork looks amazing! Looking forward to any new content coming out.

I really like the terrain he designs.
Can't wait to see how the ships will look

Welcome to our little community Rockhold, and thank you for your support.

I had meant to post an update on the ship earlier but my focus has been entirely on development. I don't want to show off the completed ship until it is with gameplay, but here is a sneak peak:


There may be some tweaks to the ship before release, but right now the ship is ready to go. Pete brought it from 1.1 million polygons to around 200 thousand, he also remapped the textures and polished rough areas.

Is that how it should look ingame? Because it looks fantastic.

[Grey]

love the look.
Now we wait for the gameplay of course

[Mark]

Yeah it will look very close to that in-game.

I won't be posting much until I do have some new gameplay to show. I really do appreciate your patience.
