The Astero is a pretty odd looking ship, compared to the rest of the ships that we have done, mostly since it is so bright and has the disk shaped wings. I got involved at the design phase with the concept artist Hans Alan Tómasson and our art director Ásgeir Jón Ásgeirsson, I created a blockout that was used as the base for the concept. After landing a proper design I took on most of the roles that are involved with getting ships through our pipeline. I created the low and high poly meshes, UV´d baked and rendered maps for the texture process, in addition to that I animated it, added markings and FX and got the asset into our game.
