Unit Pictures

50/50! Do one of each alternating.

Sounds good!

There is, however, a 4th option.

...

I downloaded Unity today and toyed around with it for a couple of hours.


This was the result, running in REAL TIME (and the framerate was better, it got worse when I was capturing the screen).



So, uh...

Starcraft to scale 3D might, almost certainly be real-time and interactive?

This is kind of something I secretly wanted all along but thought would be so difficult as to be impossible. At one point I considered making a mockup of a Battlefront 2-like game as an animation, just for fun. But I cannot stress enough how much it feels like you're in one of the SC1 cinematics to be controlling a ship flying over those battlecruisers. So that's happening.

I have a ton to learn about Unity to get in things like the engine glows and particle effects and better textures and animations, so I'm NOT making a game, essentially just an interactive gallery. But if I end up not getting drawings done because I'm working on this, and I share builds with you all, I think you will understand?

the nerazim one (crashed on shakuras)

Can someone screenshot this for reference?

EDIT: I found it and forgot to screenshot lmfao. It's a doodad in the Shakuras City section called destroyed protoss unit or something very similar. Very helpful, I know. It's pretty much just a reskinned and torned apart multiplayer carrier from what I can tell, but the reskin isn't just 'oh, the gold is now silver.' It's got teal lighting, grey and silver colouring on the hull. Could be a good reference for anyone who wants it.

I will play the mission and screenshot it.

Looks similar enough to the doodad I found. Thanks for the shot!

[Nolanstar]

I also found a doodad with an animation of one of these crashing into a building, now I feel as if I have to scour the maps and see if it is used...

[Robear]

Think you could post an image or two of it flying? I can't tell what's going on in the already-crashed model.


On the 3d front, I'm finally making a science vessel. The diameter they had me scale it down to is ~435m, which looks like this compared to the dropship and valkyrie:



It's definitely still big enough to have an infantry mission inside, which I'm happy about. Here's the valkyrie and a ~5m tall goliath on the surface of that hexagonal chunk, definitely room for them if there's a big open hangar/shuttle space inside or on the underside.



I may invent a hangar to put down there.

There appears to be separate crashed and normal textures, useful...

Here, just a preview editor screenshot of the crashing into building model

I applied the textures to the carrier model, here is the result (Blue TC)

Interesting, it's like a greener version of the SC2 alpha tempest. Thanks!

3D starcraft to scale update: you can fly the Valkyrie through the Behemoth-class Battlecruiser's neck struts.
