Soo the game devs just updated all the models in the game with brand spanking new topology, shaders, and normal maps! Cool Beans! But it makes great mods like this one look bland and stale. In the interest of fixing the aforementioned staleness I started to brainstorm ideas for new models that would fit the games new visual aesthetic. I am starting with the single plasma turret for now to gauge how this project might go but redesigns of almost everything else are definitely in the pipeline.

Provided below is the post concept work up I did of my plasma turret and a render of a very rough block out model (very wip). For now I am just trying to explore how the shapes I am envisioning actually play out in a space engineers cube type restriction.

I intend to texture proceduraly using industry standard Quixel suite creating normal and material maps to bring these models as close to dev quality as I can.

All this, of course, depends on weather or not you gad sir CMDbob wants to work with me. This mod is of course yours and I don't want to pretend that I know what your planing for it; but I am wiling to help make it “better”. I would like to collaborate with you regarding the designs and of course the needs of the game engine.
Let me know if your interested!
