Asset: Three Space Rocks (Patreon)
Content
Just a quickie!
Some times you need space rocks!! My grandfather had a rather impressive rock collection, so I raided some of the particularly volcanic specimens, scanned them, and I think they work pretty well! Actually- I think one might be petrified coral? Or regular coral? Also, one of these is an inch and a half across, so it's fun to see it as a big space rock :P
Above is a test I did yesterday- I think it works alright; I like the way the ship looks in the sunlight (although lots of animation stuff I need to tweak). Some of the rocks aren't quite as high poly as they should be (volcanic rocks are kinda fractal, so stuff can get nuts pretty quick), but combined with the texture (and a bit of motion blur), you can get away with a lot. Also tinted them orange in this case, just to add some color.

They also work really well when combined with particle systems (just like 10,000 little beveled cubes or something, being emitted from the surface, can give a comet vibe). They also look different from every angle (except for the round one, which is always round).
