While not a true artificial intelligence, the Hannex/ASECOR 'Herakles'
represented a substantial breakthrough in both spacecraft and autonomous
control systems design. Introduced into the private security market
late in the decade, the Herakles I gave independent and short-haul
transport concerns an affordable security solution in the form of a
fully palletized short range fighter.<br /><br />Barely 8 meters in length,
the Herakles could be operated from a hangar the size of a standard XSE
shipping container and could be carried in external cargo stowage in a
number of configurations. By using a control core of picoformed
nickel/palladium, the maintenance and survivability problem of organic
material was avoided, and shielding mass could be reduced
correspondingly. External command input could be minimal for most
applications, but lack of sapiency certification prevented legal use
within Treaty Sphere space. This was of minimal concern for most
operators, as the primary market was operators in the outer system
needing cheap and effective escort for cargo ships.<br /><br />Operating a
range of modular beam and missile weapons, the Herakles could be
configured to deal with threats from zombie swarms to borgsats. While
not a match for the more organized pirate concerns, the system proved
effective enough to discourage even these attacks. Later marks
introduced switch-on-the-fly weapon pods in addition to the refueling
facilities fitted in the hangar module.<br /><br />Here we see a late Mark I
upgraded to Mark II standard. The auxiliary radiators fitted to the
heat exchangers are a distinct element of the subtype. It's been
deployed to sweep for mines in the Jupiter Trojans preceding survey
work.<br />Doscherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01385293661594120191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452251845305255990.post-86230527446056606262013-10-02T12:50:00.003-07:002013-10-02T12:56:43.405-07:00The Silent Sea<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is a sort of glorified mood
and atmosphere study for the interior of the Titan City aerostat.
Originally I had wanted to push this much further, but my tools and
techniques have changed so much since I started the piece that I decided
to just let it be in the end.<br />
<br />
Possibly I should have just discarded it, but I’d grown attached
and since the final product will be words rather than images, I decided
to indulge myself.<br />
I regret nothing. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.</div>

I took a little time and revisited the idea of creating fictional
infantry weapons based on mixing different historical weapons together.
Originally I was going to do something much more elaborate, but other
factors intervened. Hopefully this is still of some entertainment value,
if not use.<br />
<br />
Like my designs from a few years ago, I wanted to
create an ecosystem of small arms like you might see in the 1943-1952
time period, which would mean a mixture of of machined and stamped
components with furniture of wood and Bakelite. Optics would be basic.
Here are some notes on the individual guns:<br />
<br />
Machine Pistol- This
was originally a doodle of what it might look like if the features of an
MG 42 were put on a bolt gun. To try and make the very short barrel
make a little more sense I added some elements from the Manchester SMG
and one of those vertical foregrips everybody thought was cool a couple
years ago. (Yes, your groupings would probably be about the size of a
bus.) The magazine is a quad-stack affair.<br />
<br />
Automatic Carbine- VG1-5 plus bits from the FAL and that odd peep sight from the first version of FG 42.<br />
<br />
20mm
Anti Tank Right- Solothurn, Type 97, and the Boys all mixed up. Also a
sort of shaped charge rifle grenade based on the Stielgranate 41.<br />
<br />
Light
Machine Gun- Rhinemetall did some interesting prototypes after the war
based on the MG 45. I've mixed these with the reversible feed direction
of the MG 34 and some experimental FG bits while adding the odd drum
from the MG 13. I've added back in the barrel change capability of the
MG 42, though in the LMG role that might not be necessary.<br />
<br />
Autoloading Revolver- Mateba + Webley = Party all night.<br />
<br />
Anti
Tank Projector- I'm not sure that there are any anti tank rocket
weapons that *don't* have a piece or two in there. A note about the
warhead: The lugs on the side are my attempt to visualize some sort of
mechanism to tilt the hollow charge warhead to convert glancing hits to
solid ones- plus it makes it look meaner. =P<br />
<br />
I've
used guns as an example here to show how you can use existing elements
to get something that looks novel while still seeming familiar. The same
process can also work well with architecture, vehicles, or equipment.
Originality is a tricky question when designing things like these. Of
course you don't want to rip somebody else off, but you also want to
your designs to do what they need to do for the project you're working
on. A gun that hints at the time period and nationality of the soldier
wielding it makes it so that exposition is less needed elsewhere. When
you're designing things you're telling part of the story. Oftentimes the
best way to do that is to give the audience some familiar elements they
can latch on to and use that to draw them into what's different.<br />
<br />
It
seems like there's a lot of retro designs out there, but fortunately
there's a lot of interesting historical designs draw upon and mix up.Doscherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01385293661594120191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452251845305255990.post-12252210736934379942013-06-16T13:04:00.000-07:002013-06-16T13:04:39.863-07:00The Dust of Mars<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Following the Conquest, the eyes of Earth found purchase upon wider
realms. Where one world had become two, two became five beneath the four
crowns of the victorious blue world. As Mars yielded her secrets, the
shipyards of Luna and Telemachus Minor birthed ships embodying the
unearthed knowledge of lost races. With this, a tide of steel flowed out
from Sol, seeking to turn the five worlds into a dozen, or perhaps a
hundred.<br /><br /><br />The SMS Markgraf von Kessler was a cresting wave
upon this tide, though that didn’t save her from the hunger of a haunted
universe. Here she drifts above a nameless world that would eventually
be known as Sargon IV, though the mystery of her cargo and her loss are
still not fully understood.<br /><br /><br />Dedicated to all those crossing a wide abyss to an uncertain hope.<br />Doscherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01385293661594120191noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452251845305255990.post-76365263701266536892013-05-11T22:37:00.002-07:002013-05-11T22:37:21.927-07:00Tablescapes Concept Art<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Some time ago I made up this concept for a flying car. In the absence of the future we were promised, I've decided to model it. I always liked the idea, and it's aged fairly well.<br />

I completed the spider tank illustration, though by no means am I done with the model yet. There's some tweaking to do on the other side and the back, and it still needs to be rigged to show off the weird suspension.<br />
<br />

I'm almost done with the exterior modeling on the spider tank. I need to add lift hooks and some grab handles, as well as some other little stuff. The back needs more work, but the layout of the top and sides dictates where I'll put the exhaust and the rear stowage, so there isn't a whole lot to decide.<br />
<br />
I have some different experiments I want to do with texturing and animation, but it may be awhile before I have anything interesting to show on that front.<br />

Earlier, I tried messing around with some Mental Ray materials. Interesting, but further refinement could go a long ways:<br />

The war ended, the tide rolled back. Left behind were countless tragedies, and not a few mysteries. <br /><br />The
First Lord referred to *this* mystery as 'A jester to the Court of
Mars' in a letter to his son, and most of the high command referred to
it as Object C, when they referred to it at all. It was found in the
desert, at some sort of research facility. The documentation was never
good, and both the war and the circumstances of this discovery clouded
things further. It had started life as a heavy cargo tractor of the sort
converted to artillery duty in large numbers some years ago, but had
been fitted with a novel weapon system. The nature of this system has
been a source of discreet research and speculation since the end of the
conflict, but to no productive end.<br /><br />It would seem to fire some
sort of liquid, though a plasma based system had been theorized at
first. Tantalizingly incomplete, a number of design features and a novel
use of materials suggested that it was based on some sort of
rediscovered Founder technology, though this was impossible to prove.
Indeed, when the base was searched for documentation, not only was none
found but it was discovered to be not just deserted but devoid of all
life (down to the bacterial level) and bereft of all organic matter. A
lengthy investigation yielded nothing, but was the subject on intense
speculation by all involved. Evidence of anything from an as of yet
unclassified apex predator to interdimensional travel was rumored, but
never materialized.<br /><br />Currently Object C is in storage at Base South, awaiting restoration.<br />Doscherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01385293661594120191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452251845305255990.post-42533094404488771712013-03-17T13:53:00.000-07:002013-03-17T13:53:19.842-07:003D Spider TankFor starters, I'm sorry this blog has gone more than a year without updating. Infant mortality among blogs is pretty high, but I'm still here and I want to develop this venue more as a place to share works in progress, tutorials, and tangentially related material. I'll be revamping www.doscher-design.com shortly and be using that space to display completed work. It'll also show up here, of course. My page at mikedoscher.devianart.com is my most current portfolio, but that green background gives me a headache.<br />
<br />
Anyways, some time back I did a painting of an 8x8 armored car that was exploring the 'spider tank' cliche from the direction of superficial realism:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The vehicle backstory is this: An aging APC chassis converted into a
rocket artillery unit. The batteries lower and are reloaded
hydraulically from a magazine between the tube bays. Normally, the gun
would be traversed to the rear when firing rockets to prevent damage to
the barrel and muzzle brake. In this case, the commander has left the
gun deployed to be able to more quickly engage infantry or light armor.
This is the sign of either a highly experienced or dangerously
inexperienced crew.<br />
<br />
The painting was well-received and I found myself wanting to 3D version of it for some time, especially to explore the layout and action of the drivetrain and suspension.<br />

<br />Social media makes me antisocial.
<br />
<br />Let's see: We've got Facebook, where you get to call coworkers, distant relations, and people you're stalking 'friends'. Then you've got Twitter, which is optimized for tracking the mood swings of b-list celebrities and seeing what parts of London are burning at the moment. Tumblr is like being hosed down with sparkling unicorn poo.
<br />
<br />Hello blaaaawwgosphere, I missed you. Sorry to have bored or otherwise disappointed the five or six very nice people who have clickified on some piece of Berners-Lee magic or another and come here. AS YOUR REWARD: Here's something large and rusty, along with a promise to update more often- regularly even.

This is the reason for the 'cracked lava' look.<br /><br />I started with a loose sketch of my idea, then made a low poly 3D proxy model to explore the basic massing. Once satisfied, I made a very light printout and drew my final linework over it. I did this for both the ortho and plan drawings.<br /><br />The vessel is designed for a strike role, sacrificing armor for speed and firepower. The vessel name is a sort of comment on the vulnerability of the critical areas. =PDoscherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01385293661594120191noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452251845305255990.post-4133176442585635682010-10-05T13:07:00.000-07:002010-10-05T13:12:44.126-07:00Not dead.
