THD-001 Assault ship 3D modeling

THD-001, assault ship concept art
From my personal love of SHMUP to designing vehicles that are fully inspired by the genre.

What I like about SHMUP games is the design of combat vehicles that are beautiful, unusual, and not too based on reality. It's a byproduct of the competitive game industry in the 90s that was still limited in terms of information. Today's SHMUP games aren't as popular as they were 10 years ago because the games have simple storylines. and play this type of game It doesn't take much time. Moreover, games in today's era Want the story or depth of the game to have more, so SHMUP games are starting to lose their popularity. Because of this type of game is very suitable for being an arcade game.

The TH-D001 combat vehicle is a combat vehicle created by a group of elite engineers. Able to complete missions to suppress enemy bases. Including destroying other fighter aircrafts that come into battle in seconds. And can also fight against large mechs built by capitalists who moved to live in Neo Bangkok.
Sketch
The starting point for sketching THD-001 came from playing the SHMUP game and watching clips of gameplay that inspired it. The goal of the design is wanting the fighter to move quickly. And it doesn't have to be a lot. There are only a few weapons used. and use colors that convey anti-capitalist sentiments
Modeling
I used Nomad Sculpt to 3D sculpt the THD-001 combat vehicle. Normally, I'm comfortable using the iPad to create digital art. Due to portability and creating work as desired I'm not very good at using a mouse and keyboard to create individual works. But at present 3D production software has advanced a lot. And a computer is required to use these software. I might have to try it again.

Today, Nomad Sculpt has developed a lot. Before that, it was an app that focused only on character sculpting. But now it is a simple 3D printing app and has functions that can be used for 3D printing, making this app more interesting than before.
Texture painting
The problem with the Nomad Sculpt app is that painting 3D models can only be done with vertex painting, but not texture painting. But luckily, apps on the iPad like Procreate support painting 3D models with texture painting, making it possible to work continuously without No need to jump to another device. and can be completed with an iPad

The advantage of doing texture painting is that it can create 3D images using a small number of polygons. The disadvantage is that 3D models using texture painting use a high amount of RAM for processing.
Back to Nomad again
Nomad sculpt is now able to render beautiful still images. This allows us to finish work without having to move to the computer.
