 So for Argon-88 I've decided to try out a different approach. I'll construct the ship model using a number of different meshes and each mesh will have a different material assigned to it. Then within the game it should be possible to change just one of the materials and alter just part of the ship. I'd use PBR materials so would still be able to retain that nice grungy look.

+===== Design Concept =====
-{{ :renders:prototypes1.jpg?400|}}My concept for the ships in Argon-88 is something that looks a little retro as the game is supposed to be set in the 1950s. So something more like a flying tank than an airplane. Huge armored flying vehicles would need large oversized engines. I also wanted the I needed a design that would be modular (more on that later). I ended up with something that had a hull at the front and engines at the back, linked together will a powerplant.

+The sketch to the right is one of the concepts I came up with, back when I was calling the game //Skybattles '54//.
+Next: [[blog:May2022]]
-I initially sketched out eleven different designs that each had a different type of hull, engine and powerplant. In the game I want different factions to have different styles of ship, so I needed different ideas to work with.
-===== Initial Models =====
-{{ :renders:prototype_11.jpg?400|}} I took the five most promising sketches and created models in //Blender//. For these first models I used eight meshes, each using a different material: Four different paints (a primary one and then three different ones for accents), two metals, a glass and a "hole".
