Industry Challenge - 3D Spaceship Fleet
Embedded Files
Intro
"The year is 2056 – Climate change has ravaged planet Earth. Our top scientists estimate we have 6 months to either fix our planet or leave, forever.
It’s the worst possible situation for humanity, we are fighting for our survival. How are we doing this? With SPACESHIPS!
Spaceships? Wouldn’t it have been better to have acted on the warning signs far earlier and ditched fossil fuels, reduce our carbon footprints and protect our natural resources? Nah, we have spaceships now, that’s more fun."
And as a team of 5 we must choose if we are in Team Fight or Team Flight:
Team Fight will stay on Earth and use their spaceships to clean up the planet.
Team Flight will need spaceships to transport people and animals to a new home planet.

Deciding on what Team and the style of the ships
If we were to pick Team Flight we will make; people carriers, space trucks, animal transporters etc. But if we were to pick Team Fight, we'll make; tree planters, ocean cleaners, weather monitors etc.
For this we'll have to decide between each other in the team who is going to make which model and how it will fit into the hero shot (all of them combined) and ultimately what Team to pick.
We also have to come up with a back story for our fleet and explain why the spaceships' designs work for either Team Flight or Team Fight.
Colour to our spaceships is also optional but we'll have to discus this as a team as we might have matching textures.
I do personally have an idea of inspiration for the spaceships as from a game I've played: No Man's Sky. I will have to suggest this with the team as I so far plan to use the games ships as inspiration for my own spaceship.
No Man's Sky has a large variety of high poly ships, for this challenge I think we'll only be making low poly ships as we only have a short amount of time to complete them.
If we do choose to base our designs from No Man's Sky and choose Team Flight, I would recommend basing the ships on one of the Freighters in game as to be a people carrier or cargo ship.
Team planning and execution
Chosen Team - Team Fight
Unfortunately the rest of the my team agreed on doing Team Fight for the challenge, so we'll have to reconsider taking inspiration from the game No Man's Sky however there is also another game we could use, Subnautica. Subnautica is an open-world horror survival action-adventure video game that takes place mostly underwater.
I've spoken with the rest of the team and we've agreed on using submarines or ocean explorers as we've chosen Team Fight so we'll be designing vehicles for cleaning the Earth. These vehicles will look similar to spaceships but instead of being in space, they will be placed underwater, as well we could still use some of No Man's Sky's ships as some of them don't have wings so we could base the shape of our designs from them but I will have to discus that with the rest of the team.
