OK, not really it&#8217;s asteroid mining, but budgie farming sounds interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Somehow I&#8217;ve managed to keep my mouth shut about this all but Paul and I had a chat one evening about how he saw the expansion going and we threw a few ideas around leaving me with the slightly daunting task of trying to figure out how a small sized asteroid mining vessel would look in the Outer Empires universe. Skimming through a few books and online gave me a few ideas (planet cracking anyone?) and I set to with a few 3d sketches. It took a while to get some kind of shape which I liked, one of the first ones was something that looked like a dump truck and the shape wobbled around different sizes before settling on the final design. Even when the 3d model was built I went back to tweak it a bit while texturing and I&#8217;ll dig up some of the early renders to give an idea of the build process. In the meantime, here are three renders of the final design.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kirkd.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/mining-front.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.kirkd.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/mining-front.jpg\" alt=\"mining-front\" width=\"580\"  class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-10075 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kirkd.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/mining-front.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.kirkd.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/mining-front-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kirkd.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/mining-front-500x281.jpg 500w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/563;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kirkd.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/mining-back.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.kirkd.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/mining-back.jpg\" alt=\"mining-back\" width=\"580\"  class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-10076 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kirkd.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/mining-back.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.kirkd.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/mining-back-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kirkd.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/mining-back-500x281.jpg 500w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/563;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kirkd.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/mining-top.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.kirkd.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/mining-top.jpg\" alt=\"mining-top\" width=\"580\"  class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-10074 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kirkd.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/mining-top.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.kirkd.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/mining-top-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kirkd.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/mining-top-500x281.jpg 500w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/563;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Built in a shockingly short time (for me anyway), UV&#8217;ed, textured and rendered in Cinema 4D with a little texturing support from Photoshop.<\/p>\n<p>All this leaves just one burning question, how deep you have to plant a budgie for it to grow?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few weeks\/months (I can&#8217;t remember when) back I was asked by Paul Hutson, creator&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":10075,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[307,57],"tags":[308,321],"class_list":["post-10073","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-3d","category-design","tag-3d","tag-cinema-4d"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
