Need: Alien base equipment and textures

[Kildor]

From other topic

«4. Alien base.
   Decorations: Random alien items. Tools, scanners, vehicles, heavy equipment.»

I make alienbase map, and have really faced missed equipments for the base. Also I`ve faced with lacking of textures, but it is another problem.

I strongly need in panels, in tools, in containers for storage, in any other little equipments. I`ve asked my familiar 3d modellers to make some models, but they asked me a sketches. I have no sketches and existent models of equipment don`t allow to make a whole image of technology.

So, Winter, Btaxis, anyone, could you make some sketches or at least describe, how should aliens equipments look like? colors, shapes, and so on.

Unfortunately, I can't really tell you how it should look, because I don't have anything particular in mind. The best I can do is say that it should not look out of place alongside what we already have. Other than that, the sky is the limit.

As for containers, you can look at random sci-fi games (FPSes such as Quake 4 for example) and draw inspiration from that. Basically that should be more-or-less rectangular boxes, but with some irregular architecture to make them look futuristic. Maybe some green glowing lines on them would work well also.

I'd say look at the mapped UFO interiors for inspiration. I can't draw, and we don't have a concept artist on staff at the moment, so that's the best we can do.

As for containers, barrels are always useful, so at least one kind of barrel would be good to have.

Here a simple barrel.

If you like it, the texture of the floor is also in the file.
