Attempting faux green screen displays

Sat 08 May 2021, 23:36

I'm currently trying to figure out ways to produce some material for playing Alien. I've sourced some cheap (and some free) 3D models that are a fit and rendered them out as outlines. After a little messing about in a photo editor, I've managed to get something close to what I was aiming for. It's all still a little amateurish but in case any of it might be useful to other players, I've posted some on a blog and will post more when I find the time. https://canterstonehouse.blogspot.com/2 ... s-for.html

I dunno - I think these are pretty nicely done.
Kudos!

I've added a couple more - there an alternative drop-ship design and a small planetary lander.

Three more are ready. I'm thinking of using some of these models to build a range of craft to associate with the Three World Empire, to give it a look distinct from that of the familiar UA and Colonial Marines. There are also some models of science fiction habitats that could make good colony outposts, so I'll have a look at working with those in the coming weeks.

I thought I should also look at rendering some of the images as faux technical drawings, or at least as something a little more printer friendly. I've posted a couple of examples here.

I have to say all of these are great stuff!
The green AND the paper versions look great.
Much imagination cannon here to fire into the game!
