A caboodle of WIPs with no explanation, for now. I am the queen of WIPs and the pauper of finished work.

Figured out a robust and ugly design for Euryale's reactor and ?exhaust compressor? idk nerd stuff. all based on a single 2048x tilesheet that I must use for all engineering thngs. In this env, big things must be lowpoly, so they're very blocky and lab-chique?? i love that style #blender #b3d

This week on #RunawayToTheStars: Bip is very excited to have a new house guest, Talita hauls junk out of sideways rooms.

Catch up: https://runawaytothestars.com
Read ahead: https://patreon.com/jayrockin
THE RUNAWAY'S HABITAT MODULE A cutaway shot shows Talita following the worms, exiting the docking ring and walking carefully through the lower storage room that connects the habitat module to the rest of the vessel. Bip's avatar follows, appearing to walk along the doors of the cabinets, the vector lines of their body interrupted by seams and handles as if they were a painting behind them. Bip: Sorry about the bumpy terrain, "gravity" in here isn't supposed to go sideways. First Floor: Kitchen and Commons The habitat module resembles a four story building lying on its side. Each floor's main space is a ring around the central spine and elevator shaft. The first floor contains a living space with a screen, seating areas, food preparation and storage areas, all clean and empty. It's the area that had a hole in it that Talita peered through on first her look inside the Runaway, but the spotless interior and large wall patch makes it almost unrecognizable. Talita leans over the considerable drop to the far wall of the kitchen to poke her head into the living room. Talita: Wow, you really cleaned this place up. Bip's avatar slides around the 90 degree bend between floor and wall, elongating, appearing larger than Talita. Bip: I did what I could with the electrician worms and onboard actuators. Second Floor: Crew Dormitory Talita walks through the spine, surrounded by open doors to rooms with a much messier interior. Furniture has been knocked loose and tumbled around these rooms, settling to the lowest walls were gravity has pushed it. Strangely shaped chairs, beds, handmade chests, tables, desks, and things smashed beyond recognition fill these otherwise barren rooms. Bip goes with Talita, elongating further and winding their avatar's body around the curve of the spine through multiple room floors. Bip: A lot of the heavier objects still need to be secured or removed, though. Third Floor: Passenger Dormitory Talita leans through one of the open room doors and smirks at Bip's giant avatar displayed on the wall. Talita: Are ALL of the walls in here electrowetting displays? Bip's avatar and two nearby worms strike a pose. Bip: Much classier than a tablet screen with wheels, don't you think? Talita: The tablet with wheels would be more useful for moving furniture... Fourth Floor: Bip's Servers Furthest up the spine and shielded by the thickest walls on the vessel is a command room. The thing Bip essentially is, the animator casting shadow puppets inside the walls of their own body, is a ring of 40 server boxes fixed to the upper corners of the room. Transcript A montage of panels shows Talita removing furniture from the interior of the Runaway. Bracing against a door, face contorted with effort, she pulls on the moving straps to lift a cabinet that has fallen against the exterior wall of a cabin room next to a smashed and dented desk. Inside the room, the electrician worms help lift and guide the furniture so it doesn't swing and scrape against anything. The walls and floors of the wedge shaped cabins show ghostly lines of where furniture used to be attached, and people used to walk. On the floor of the interior room (which with current gravity, is a wall) Bip's avatar waves at her nervously and appears to watch her progress. Talita adds the cabinet to her pile of removed furniture in the interior room. She carries a piece of furniture under her arm, stepping over the bulkhead dividers between the floors of the habitat module. Then she places the cabinet down carefully into the four sided docking ring room, where a pile of removed furniture is slowly growing in size.

They say the reactor is a ship's heart. What does that make the FTL drive?

My trimsheets are finally done after over a year of pain!! Made the Euryale's FTL core to celebrate, and test. Will refine and detail it more. Realized I accidentally just made like, a fusion reactor...

Day4: Repairs

The hunt did not go well. She had been taking unacceptable risks. A 20% chance of interception should have been cause to pass up the target. But she had lived, had escaped. In a moonlet of a dead world, she would eat herself and be whole. And try again.

A relic in the dark. First contact, as a Directorate scoutship prepares to dock with an old alien generation ship deep in the void between stars.

I've been told these are gutwrenchingly dark, sorry. #b3d #blender

The Euryale! Or rather, the liveries of a Directorate Cutter. First is the Scout Service. The next, Euryale's disguise, a Science Institute ship. Pure black is with her chameleon hull-paint turned entirely off. The last is the 'real' Euryale from my own setting. Lore in alt-text. #substancepainter
A Directorate Scout Service cutter! Considered the 'big boys' of the service, they are nevertheless, still merely explorers. Called in for distress calls from smaller scout crews or when manpower and longevity. The Directorate is centuries ahead of the other powers in the orion's arm, and even a lowly scout frigate is a multi-role threat that can hold its own against heavier ships. Like most Directorate ships, she functions like a beehive. Smack her, and enough drones will spew out to ruin anyone's day. It's sometimes still not enough for the precursor-civilization relics that scouts sometimes encounter on the edges of the frontier. A Directorate Institute of Science cutter! Almost an equivalent to the Scout Service. Starfleet, but with dogpeople. Institute cutters are the support ships parked in orbit for long months, overseeing and protecting archeological digs and exploration parties on the edges of civilized space. Able to ward off marauders long enough to retrieve her charges, and sometimes out-gun ancient boobytraps or defense systems, the real prize is her belly full of drones and science labs. Of course, this one isn't real. This one's just the Euryale in a coat of paint. Lone Directorate scout and science ships are common enough out on the frontier, and fewer questions are asked. The real Euryale, when the coat of stolen chameleon-paint on her hull is reset. Any associations are long-since scoured off, and she is just a thing lurking in the void. The real Euryale, in my own home-grown setting, painted-up in the blue-and-black liverie of the New United Nations. This version has a big fat inconvenient FTL engine smack-dab in the middle, and has not yet made herself edgy and black.

She's still quite WIP, but I put too much time designing the home of one of my minor characters. I need to go back and make her even bigger. The Bazeninelatoren Et Shevrerniktla (where tf did I get that name from?), the ark of the Kimmigan people. And accompanying Directorate ships. #b3d #blender

Many years ago I started making Star Trek stuff. I still dream of making some Trek interiors in my current style, but I work really, really slow. I don't have a clue what to call my aesthetic, but all my stuff is usually trimsheets under miserable limits, with no thought for texel density.

"Never give up", etc. Not much of my earlier content was even finished enough to post.

The earliest version of Her where I was just wanting to make a little Directorate corvette. Now the Euryale dwarfs most of them. (The other 3 ships are models belonging to friends). #b3d

Oh wow. Finding my earliest experiment with trimsheets on the left was funny. I've been slowly getting better at them for almost a decade on and off.. Totally not going back thru an archive of ancient WIPs to fill this profile out.

Started at the bottom. 12 years later, still pretty close to the bottom tbh. #b3d

Day 4: Freighter

Ion-powered gravel bags are easily the most numerous cargo spacecraft in human space, powering the industry of a thousand worlds. Billions of tons of asteroid material traverse the solar system on multi-decade trajectories at any given time
