3D Printing.

I just got a set of ship images form Biran. I am going to turn them in to some 3D models.

From the start we knew that we wanted to make use of the college's 3D printer. Though it would be great to replace all the counters with models, its simply not realistic. We have decided to model the counters that will be used to keep track of the scores. If we have the opportunities we will also print models for the fleet counters.

While we cannot model every ship we can model the planets with a nice lo-fi solution. Ping pong or bouncy balls blue tacked on to pins.

By adding 3 dimensionality to the game we hope to invoke a sense of overlooking a futuristic galaxy map.
