Gummi ships!
vahnn
Cool, but uh... what up when them space turbines? lol
Odmanra
Now do starwars style capital ships!
SilverbellsDev
I intend to someday!
Odmanra
I can't wait with your program if will be kickass! These ships designs are epic!
chrismofer
soooooooooo can i export STLs or OBJs or other mesh or STEP that i can mesh so i can 3d print em??????
SilverbellsDev
Yeah it's .obj export-ready.
Sensino
AWESOME! :D
kellyfriedman
This is sick! Call up the folks at No Man's Sky, these would be great for that game!
FortressCraft
This is literally identical to the NMS procedural ship generation tech.
TimDungeon
What is a greeble?
dnebdal
IIRC it was what the called the ... surface stuff they added onto surfaces of ship models in e.g. star wars to make them look interesting.
TimDungeon
Cool thanks!
dmil103
Polyphony Digital (Gran Turismo Devs) made a similar program for spaceships and cars. The results were very very interesting.
charliem
I love it, I could do something like this in c++, maybe I should
beaverdog
I will play any game this goes into
PictureArchiver
Technologically impressive, stylishly ‘meh’, also what does a space craft need with fan blades? To push out the air?
fuzzydadbod
Well hey there! I followed your stread on SA back in the day. Glad to see you're still working on this.
Ben0910
Ev nova. You should remake that
Sensino
What game? Name? Where can I buy/download it or follow the development?
PenisOfDeath
No Man's Sky does something like this with their ships. You could try that.
EvilEkips
https://store.steampowered.com/app/445220/Avorion/ might be a close match.
SilverbellsDev
I appreciate your kind words nevertheless.
Sensino

SilverbellsDev
Hey, I'm not making any game with this. Maybe I'll do something with it someday, if I don't I'll make the script public.
Saelael
I really hope it does go public. Running a science fiction RPG, and coming up with cool ships on the fly is a bear. :) Would happily pay.
YummyDigital
If you decide to publish it for everyone let us know, we are thinking of making mobilegame and that would be cool to have in it :) great job
FortressCraft
If this was on the Unity store for $10, I'd grab it just to have a closer look.
ImAfraidYoureAllPsychosSoIMadeThisAccount
Consider selling the idea to Avorion? Their ships could use some improvement..
wyrmbear
Bruh............ I got no words. Nice work. Adding this shit to my list. One minor critque....fans don't work all that well in space.
ilhares
What? Fans? Naw, man. Those are just rotating magnetic impellers, to gather interstellar hydrogen.
Rogahar
CLEARLY they're dark matter fans. Yeah. That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it.
UnluckyScarecrow
Even if fans worked in space, they'd work especially poorly if they're blowing things directly into a different piece of the same ship

Square: *laughs in Gummi ship*
Astro13655764
And yet I still attempted to get to orbit with them in KSP.
nezo
Could be for atmospheric flight
JonPerson
Maybe they’re FTL drives that are spinning to generate a field of gravity and “spool up” space around the ship.
SilverbellsDev
Oh, definitely. The fans were the first thing I could think of that would be fun and easy to animate, and I wanted to go for whimsical.
RedBeardedGentleman
can i suggest instead of fans glowing orbs? i know nothing about programing but i would imagine it would be easier to animate.
dieselfury
You can always replace the blade part of the fan with a spinning blue particle generator
mrdralixx
You could always fine tune your "wings" to be more streamlined and modify parts behind them to be fins. Then they work in space & atmosphere
vipe650r
Maybe an option to position them laterally in space, rotating to be functional in atmosphere?
photoshopbot01
Perhaps they could be to get you into orbit?
RPhoenix
Ey boss, dis git's speaking all crazy loikd. A'course fans iz gonna work in space, how else an ork suppozed ta waaaagh across it? Dum 'ummis
Ruhig
Hey, could be a dual-role space/atmospheric craft, which has... uh... other reactionless propulsion that only works in spaaaace?
GhostGoop
Does depend on what you're flying through though.
wyrmbear
I honestly can't tell if you're being serious or not.
GhostGoop
I would assume that flying through a gas giant would utilise the fans at some point.
ENCHANTMEN
It'd need to slow down a lot, if it's on a course that intersects it and then exits it's gonna be moving hypersonic
ENCHANTMEN
it would be useful if it intends to fly around a lot at low speed on a planet with atmosphere, though.
leechdemon
I mean, if the ship enters an atmosphere or goes under water, they'd be helpful. But then it's less of a spaceship. :)
GhostGoop
As long as its moving through space, and it is a vessel, it's a spaceship.
leechdemon
If it's underwater then it's not moving through space, lol. ;)
OliverClothesoff70
Imagine if you're flying through a particulate like a cosmic dust cloud. I wonder if the fans would "pull in" the particulate and eject (1)
Natural20orBust
You need to be in some sort of fluid (e.g. gas) that's dense enough for the fan blades to push against, creating low pressure that the (1/2)
Natural20orBust
Surrounding fluid pushes into. This allows the movement of fluid through the fan, generating force. Nothing in free space is close to (2/3)
uzerok
Even the densest nebulae are expected to have only 10^4 molecules / cm^3. Air near sea level for comparison is 2.7*10^19 molecules / cm^3.
ENCHANTMEN
while a fan clearly wouldn't work in that case, it would be worth noting that at a fast enough speed you would still be hitting a lot of
