Astronomics Game Art : Designing Mining Equipment! Pt 2

Brainstorming and feedback loops One of the first steps of designing is always brainstorming -- sometimes this starts before research, sometimes I research first, and often I go back and forth, letting brainstorming push me to the limits of my current knowledge and then taking to the internet to open up new territory. For the equipment for Astronomics (demo on steam right now!), while the design team had a few key assets they were looking for, they were also still brainstorming and so we were all kind of discovering what the equipment part of the game could be as a whole.

For me, that brainstorming usually looks like a LOT of very rough drawings. I usually have my research sketches open nearby for reference, and I try and draw small enough that i can see all my brainstorming and seek out possibility spaces between ideas. Above is my first VERY rough brainstorming page, and on it you can see art from two passes - the softer, lighter drawings are the open-ended thinking; the darker clear lines are the second pass, where I start filtering, choosing which pieces to take to the rest of the team to start conversations with.

You can see how we would collect feedback above - i would write notes and do additional drawing on top of the submitted artwork as we went through things in screenshared video meetings, and then have these with me as I iterated further. One thing you might notice is that these are all drawn with straight lines -- Astronomics is a low-poly 3D style game, and it was fun to think about simplifying the shapes right from the beginning. While I didn't do all my drawing like this, it was a fast and quick way to get clean linework that had some connection to the style of the game long before we really knew anything about said style! Speaking of style... Next up, we had to make some big decisions. Astronomics has a lot of equipment with a big range of functions and scales and the most important thing was making sure it all read like equipment from the same manufacturer - that being CubeCorp, as you'll see in the demo. I narrowed it down to three possibilities:

I went in three directions -- "Star Wars" style, all panel lines and chamfered edges and a sense of overall complexity; "Safety" style, with safety bars and frames around everything, focusing otherwise on simple, chunky shapes; and "Modern" style, exploring simple silhouettes with hidden complexity. (none of these are official names for known styles, eg, the star wars style didn't actual aim for matching the style in those films particularly -- these names were more mnemonic devices to help me quickly sum up what I was thinking in a punchy way, and help my coworkers refer to the styles more easily in conversation while we discussed an debated direction together.) In the end, what we chose was mostly Safety-styled, but elements from both other directions made their way in too!

And here was my first sheet ft a pass on the drill, pump and vaccuum, containers for solids, liquids and gasses, a worker bot, a worker bot home, and a robust scanner machine. A few things we were thinking about: we wanted there to be a sense of a unit of size that everything fit into - CubeCorp, remember? - and so even our most complicated equipment needed to pack down into that cube. That meant that we were going to be animating equipment essentially unfolding, so I tried even at this stage to think about what that could mean for the drill and pump and vaccuum, and you can see packed and unpacked states up there for each design. They also were likely to be carried around by our little darling worker bots -- so everybody needed feet the bots could squeeze between to get underneath. Speaking of, they probably went through the most designs of everything, and what's in the demo does not appear in these pages at all, haha, but here, a few more passes:

In fact, you might not be able to find any of these exact designs in the demo -- that's just the nature of concept art in games! What the game needed then and what it needed later -- as the game design itself was developed -- well, it changed, as it often can! I think it can be easy from the outside to assume that everything anyone thought of was eventually brought to life, but that rarely ever happens. Concept art is a process, and so even if these designs didn't make it into the game, they were an important step along the path towards designs that did, and they taught us a lot about what we did and didn't want Astronomics to look like!

//(note: set a few days ago, shortly before this post. mostly under the cut because this got kinda long)

[Concordia knocks on the door to an apartment in Nimbasa. “Be good, Cartwright," she says softly. The phone in her hand beeps in response.

The door is opened by a man with warm brown skin, blue hair, and a cane. He gives a sunny smile. “Connie! Hello! You brought the Porygon?” She holds up the phone and he says, “Good, good. Come inside!”

Connie follows him into a warmly-lit apartment. A Tynamo and a Bronzor watch her curiously. “Sit down for a moment, okay?” Tam says. “I just need to finish cleaning this up.” He gestures to a table where some kind of mechanical device sits, partially disassembled.

Connie sits on the couch, goes to open her texts, then thinks the better of it and sets her phone down.

“Any luck finding manufacturers?” Tam asks.

“No, I am afraid not. I have been somewhat busy these past few days.”

“Huh. You heard what’s been going on in Castelia?”

Unexpectedly to both of them, Concordia bursts into tears.

“Oh, dear Palkia, are you alright?”

“I’m—sorry, sorry, I should not be crying…”

“No, I…think that’s reasonable to be upset about, actually. Can I…” Connie nods, and Tam sits down on the couch next to her.

“I’m sorry,” Connie says again. “I just…everyone I know is terribly upset about this, I have spent two days answering phone calls and trying to comfort people and talking them down from arson—most of my friends are former Plasma members, we are not exactly known for making rational decisions when it comes to Pokémon welfare—my siblings are furious, and I have to keep reminding them to eat and sleep—” Connie puts her head in her hands. “I am so tired, Tam. Everyone needs me to be strong, but I am so tired. And it seems that every time I look away Minskt escalates things to new heights of corruption, and I have to start all over again…”

“Do you, um…do you need a hug?”

Connie nods miserably and lets him wrap his arms around her.

After a moment they break apart. Connie stands up, face a little red.

“We, um. We should get to work on the Porygon thing…”

“Right…right.” Tam stands up as well, rubbing the back of his head. “The scanner’s right back through here… You said you don’t have her Pokéball, right?”

“Yeah, N couldn’t find it…”

A stream of electric light comes out of Connie’s phone and congeals into the form of Cartwright the Porygon. She chirps curiously as Tam leads them into a room lined with worktables and machinery. A 3d printer hums away in one corner.

Tam goes to one of the machines and starts flipping switches. “Arright. My machine’s not connected to the PC network, so we can check her registration data, but if we alter it, it’ll glitch out next time she links to the network. It’s a whole mess and I spend a lot of time sorting out reg data corruption for clients who thought they could change their traded ‘mon’s nickname at home…”

“You can release her, though, right?”

“Oh, yeah, that’ll be no trouble if that’s what you want. Sort of in a legal gray area, but—her trainer’s dead, yeah? And she doesn’t want to go back to the company he worked for?”

“Yeah.”

“Alright, Porygon, come sit here,” Tam says, pressing some buttons on one of his machines. Cartwright hovers down to sit on the table next to it. Tam presses another button, and a beam of light flashes out to scan her. A few seconds later, the machine’s screen lights up with the scanned information. “…Um.”

Connie leans over curiously to see the screen. “Um what?”

“Connie, this Pokémon is legally owned by the company, not by the trainer. I’m all for Pokémon autonomy, but—”

“We cannot send her back," Connie says quickly. "She says they are going to erase her memory if she goes back.”

“I know, I wasn’t going to say we should—” Tam stops. “Erase her memory? That’s awful!”

“Exactly.”

“I—yeah, okay, this is very justified, I just…you understand this is super illegal, right? Are you sure you want to do this, like, right after Castelia’s law enforcement pulls that?”

“We already have the Porygon,” Connie points out. “Might as well be in for an Ampharos as for a Mareep, no? And they will be distracted. This new change will cause more chaos in their ranks than anything.”

“Okay. Yeah, okay.” Tam takes a deep breath and pushes his glasses up. “Pory, you got anything you want to save from your reg data before we delete it?”

Cartwright shakes her head, then vanishes into the machine for a moment. She types across the screen, “Status: ready rready ready! Begin procedure,” and then rematerializes onto the table.

“Okay. Here goes nothing… Wiping registration data now.”]

It can be unlocked with wet hands The top-end flagship smartphone Xiaomi 14 Ultra will receive an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and will become the only smartphone in the line with such a solution. This was reported by insider Digital Chat Station. Judging by previously published information, Xiaomi14 Ultra should use an ultrasonic under-display fingerprint scanner manufactured by Goodix, and not a Qualcomm solution. Compared with traditional optical fingerprint solutions, pulses emitted by ultrasonic sensors can recognize unique fingerprints to generate 3D depth data, thereby achieving higher accuracy. When ultrasonic waves identify fingerprints, the screen does not need to be turned up to high brightness. More importantly, smartphones with ultrasonic fingerprint sensors can be unlocked with wet hands. Traditional phones with optical fingerprints will not unlock in such cases. Xiaomi 14 Ultra will be the only smartphone in this flagship [caption id="attachment_85486" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Xiaomi 14 Ultra[/caption] Previously, the same source reported that the main camera will support a variable aperture that can be adjusted from F/1.6 to F/4.0, fixing the amount of light entering the image sensor. The 50-megapixel sensor of the main camera of Xiaomi 14 Ultra will be Sony LYT900. This sensor is an optimized version of the Sony IMX989 and has an optical format of 1 inch. It is also stated that Dual Conversion Gain technology will improve image quality by reducing the amount of noise. It is expected that Xiaomi 14 Ultra will be equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen3 mobile platform and will receive up to 1 TB of flash memory. It will be released in the first quarter of next year. Digital Chat Station was the first to accurately report the specifications and release dates of the Redmi K60 and Xiaomi 14.

3D Technologies for dental process

As mentioned above, 3D technologies should be able to provide greater precision and reduce manufacturing times. But what are the new steps to follow when creating 3D printed dental devices? Oliver Bellaton explains, “The physical impression will be replaced by a 3D digital impression taken by the dentist with an intra-oral scanner (meaning a camera will reconstruct in 3D and in real time the surface of the teeth and gums). This 3D file can then be sent over to the dental laboratory through a secure web platform. The laboratory will review the digital impression and model the morphology of the crown in its design software (CAD), taking into account the limits of the gum, interference with other digitised teeth and even the shape of the patient’s smile with a face scanner. In case of doubt, a quick exchange by split screen with the dentist allows to validate the shape of the crown. The 3D file of the crown can then be sent to a 3D printer for manufacturing. In the near future, the dentist could have the 3D printer directly in the office for simple manufacturing. All digital flow configurations are possible. The process may take only a few hours, which in some cases means that the patient could only be brought in to the practice once.” The result is reduced logistics flows and production times, a personalised system that is much more adapted to the patient’s morphology.

Dentists and dental technicians will therefore have to equip themselves with 3D scanners or printers but also with CAD software, an obstacle for many professionals today. Nicolas Klaus, Dental Product & Business Development at Formlabs explains, “The essential pillars of these new working methods are 3D scanners, CAD software and 3D printing. Generally, there is a point of resistance in the software on which training is not obvious”.

Future of dental 3D printing?

While 3D technologies have significant advantages for the sector, their adoption may frighten some practitioners because it requires a new work logic, training in software, scanners and printers and a certain amount of confidence in these innovative processes. Today, for example, more than 50% of French laboratories have equipped themselves with 3D scanners and machine tools and 20% with 3D printers. These players recorded a 70% increase in turnover, proof that they represent real gains for dental professionals. Anton from EnvisionTEC added, “Most practitioners are very receptive and open to new digital technologies. It is simply a matter of asking clinicians and dental industry professionals to understand and trust the new digital technology and its benefits for themselves, their company and their patients. And of course, education and training play an important role. This is why many manufacturing companies are investing in this field to better understand the technology and its clinical applications“.

Can you provide examples of real-world applications of 3D laser scanning?

I’ve always been fascinated by technology that allows us to see the world in new ways. But nothing quite compares to my experience with 3D laser scanning. As I’ve come to learn, it’s not just a cool tool—it’s transforming industries all around us. From construction to archaeology, 3D laser scanning is opening doors to possibilities I couldn’t have imagined. Today, I’d like to take you through some real-world applications I’ve encountered that have solidified my belief in this technology's incredible potential.

1. Architecture and Construction: Precision Like Never Before

When I first delved into the world of 3D laser scanning, architecture and construction were the fields that jumped out at me. Initially, I had thought this technology was just a high-tech version of traditional surveying, but after seeing it in action, I realized that 3D laser scanning is reshaping the entire industry.

In construction, precision is everything. During my first project in Montreal, we were tasked with renovating a large commercial space that had undergone several modifications over the years. Blueprints were outdated, and manually measuring the site was time-consuming. That's when I was introduced to 3D laser scanning, which enabled us to create an exact digital replica of the building in minutes.

The scan provided millions of data points, creating a point cloud that we could use to model the structure down to the tiniest details. Not only did it save time, but it also allowed for accuracy that manual methods simply couldn’t achieve. This digital model helped us avoid costly mistakes during the renovation and provided a solid foundation for the project’s timeline and budget. I quickly saw that what I had thought of as just “another tool” was really an indispensable resource for any modern construction project.

2. Historical Preservation: Safeguarding the Past

As someone passionate about history, the use of 3D laser scanning in preserving heritage sites blew me away. I remember working on a project at an ancient church in Quebec, where the primary goal was to create digital records of the architecture before any restoration work began. I realized then that this technology wasn’t just about convenience—it was about preserving history for future generations.

The church had delicate carvings and stonework that could have been damaged during restoration. By using 3D laser scanning, we captured the structure in such minute detail that we could recreate exact replicas of its design, if necessary. The technology’s ability to document these fragile historical sites in a non-invasive way is changing the way we approach preservation.

In fact, I’ve seen instances where, after a natural disaster, historical buildings that were destroyed were digitally reconstructed thanks to earlier 3D scans. This is history brought back to life—allowing people to experience it as it once was, even if the physical structure no longer stands.

3. Manufacturing and Quality Control: Raising the Standards

Another domain that left a strong impression on me was manufacturing. I visited a factory where 3D laser scanning was being used for quality control in product design. The factory produced highly specialized mechanical components for aerospace companies, where even a fraction of a millimeter inaccuracy could be catastrophic.

In this highly precise world, traditional methods for measuring the components had their limitations. That's when I realized the critical role 3D laser scanning plays here. The laser scanner was used to create detailed 3D models of each part, allowing engineers to compare these models with the original design specifications. The scan ensured that every component was exactly as it should be, catching any flaws before they reached the assembly line.

What amazed me most was the speed with which the scanning system could check for errors. It was a perfect example of how 3D laser scanning not only elevates the quality of manufacturing but also reduces costs by eliminating the need for rework.

4. Archaeology: Uncovering Hidden Secrets

Perhaps one of the most fascinating applications I’ve come across is 3D laser scanning in archaeology. I’ve always imagined archaeology to be a field where people painstakingly dig and brush dirt away from ancient ruins. While that’s still a huge part of the job, 3D laser scanning has made a significant impact on how archaeologists work.

One of my colleagues worked on a dig in Central America, where they used 3D laser scanning to map ancient ruins buried under dense vegetation. The scanners penetrated the thick jungle, capturing the hidden structures in stunning detail. It was mind-boggling to me to think that technology could uncover ruins that might otherwise have taken decades to discover by hand.

Additionally, 3D laser scanning allows archaeologists to document and share their findings with researchers worldwide. Even sites that are difficult to access or are degrading over time can be scanned and preserved digitally, allowing researchers to study them long after physical access is no longer possible. It’s a perfect example of how modern technology can work hand-in-hand with the ancient world, revealing its secrets.

5. Healthcare: Transforming Patient Care

I was surprised when I learned that 3D laser scanning was being used in healthcare, but the more I dug into it, the more I understood its life-changing potential. In the field of prosthetics and orthotics, for instance, doctors are using 3D scanning technology to create custom devices for patients. Instead of using plaster molds or manual measurements, doctors scan the patient’s body, creating a highly accurate model from which they can design the perfect prosthetic limb.

It’s not just about precision, either. The whole process is faster and less invasive, making it more comfortable for patients. I’ve heard stories of patients receiving prosthetic limbs that fit better and function more naturally than ever before, thanks to the accuracy of 3D laser scanning.

Beyond prosthetics, this technology is also being used in surgery planning. Doctors can create 3D models of a patient’s organs, allowing them to visualize and practice complex surgeries before ever making the first incision. It’s incredible to think how much safer and more efficient these procedures can become with this technology at the forefront.

Conclusion: A World of Possibilities

After witnessing these real-world applications, I can’t help but marvel at the versatility of 3D laser scanning. Whether it's shaping the future of construction, preserving history, elevating manufacturing standards, uncovering ancient mysteries, or transforming healthcare, this technology is paving the way for innovation in ways I never imagined.

As I look back on my journey, I see 3D laser scanning as more than just a tool—it’s a bridge between the physical and digital worlds, offering solutions to problems we didn’t even know we had. And as more industries begin to embrace it, the possibilities truly seem endless. I can’t wait to see where 3D laser scanning will take us next.

With the rise of industrial 3D scanners, reverse engineering has become faster, more accurate, and highly efficient. In this article, we will explore the benefits of using industrial 3D scanners for reverse engineering and product development.

1. Precision and Accuracy in Capturing Complex Geometries

One of the most significant advantages of using industrial 3D scanners in reverse engineering is their ability to capture complex geometries with high precision. Unlike manual measurements, which are prone to human error, 3D scanners use advanced laser or structured light technologies to create highly accurate digital models of physical objects.

This high level of accuracy is crucial for industries like aerospace and automotive, where even the smallest deviation in a part's dimensions can lead to performance issues or safety risks. Industrial 3D scanners can capture intricate details, such as curves, angles, and edges, with a level of accuracy down to microns, making it easier to replicate or improve upon existing designs.

By creating precise 3D models of physical objects, engineers and designers can make informed decisions about product development and identify areas for improvement in existing products.

2. Faster and More Efficient Reverse Engineering

Traditionally, reverse engineering involved time-consuming processes such as manual measurement, drawing, and CAD modeling, which could take days or even weeks. Industrial 3D scanners significantly reduce the time required to reverse engineer a product by automating the process of capturing an object’s dimensions.

With a 3D scanner, the entire shape of an object can be scanned in a matter of minutes, and the data is automatically converted into a digital model that can be manipulated in CAD software. This not only speeds up the process but also reduces the labor involved in reverse engineering, freeing up engineers to focus on more complex tasks.

For industries where time-to-market is critical, the ability to reverse engineer products quickly and efficiently gives companies a competitive edge. Faster reverse engineering leads to shorter product development cycles and allows businesses to respond more rapidly to customer demands or changes in market trends.

3. Enhancing Product Development with 3D Scanning Technology

Product development is a multi-stage process that often involves prototyping, testing, and refining a design before it reaches the production stage. Industrial 3D scanners play a vital role in this process by allowing designers and engineers to create accurate digital models of prototypes, parts, or even competitor products.

These digital models can then be analyzed, modified, and tested in virtual environments before physical prototypes are produced. This reduces the need for multiple iterations of physical prototypes, saving both time and material costs. Moreover, it enables designers to experiment with different design elements and make improvements to product performance, aesthetics, or functionality without the need for costly retooling or adjustments to production machinery.

Another major benefit of using industrial 3D scanners for reverse engineering and product development is the potential for cost savings. By streamlining the reverse engineering process, reducing the need for physical prototypes, and improving the accuracy of designs, companies can lower overall production costs.

For example, 3D scanning allows manufacturers to detect design flaws or potential issues early in the development process, reducing the risk of expensive modifications during production. Furthermore, it enables efficient use of materials by optimizing part design for manufacturing, leading to fewer material waste and lower production costs.

In industries where precision and reliability are essential, such as automotive or aerospace, these cost savings can be substantial, as errors or inefficiencies in the design process can lead to costly recalls or reworks.

5. Improved Quality Control and Assurance

Quality control is another area where industrial 3D scanners excel. By creating highly accurate 3D models of products, engineers can compare the scanned models to the original CAD designs, ensuring that manufactured parts meet the required specifications.

This capability is particularly valuable in industries with stringent quality standards, where even the smallest deviations can have significant consequences. For instance, in the aerospace industry, where components must meet strict safety regulations, 3D scanning can detect imperfections or inconsistencies that might go unnoticed through traditional inspection methods.

In addition, industrial 3D scanners allow for non-contact measurement, meaning parts can be scanned without risk of damaging them, which is especially useful for delicate or complex components.

Conclusion

Industrial 3D scanners are transforming the fields of reverse engineering and product development by providing highly accurate, fast, and cost-effective solutions. Their ability to capture complex geometries, enhance product design, and improve quality control makes them an indispensable tool in industries ranging from automotive and aerospace to manufacturing.

For companies looking to stay competitive and innovative, investing in industrial 3D scanning technology can lead to significant improvements in product development cycles, cost savings, and overall product quality.

Dimensional Inspection: The Key to Perfecting Precision in Modern Manufacturing

In the world of modern manufacturing, precision is not just a goal—it's a necessity. As industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical devices, and consumer goods evolve, their requirements for accuracy and quality have surged. Meeting these demands involves more than just ensuring that parts fit together; it's about adhering to strict tolerances, avoiding costly mistakes, and complying with industry standards. This is where dimensional inspection comes into play.

Dimensional inspection is a critical process in manufacturing that ensures parts are built exactly to specification. From the earliest stages of development to final product approval, dimensional inspection offers detailed measurement data, reducing errors, enhancing quality control, and speeding up the production process. Whether you're producing prototypes or scaling to mass production, precision inspection is the linchpin that keeps projects on track.

What Is Dimensional Inspection?

Dimensional inspection involves measuring the physical dimensions of a manufactured part to ensure it meets specific tolerances. This isn't just about checking the length, width, and height. Advanced dimensional inspection covers intricate measurements such as angles, curvature, thickness, and surface texture.

Dimensional inspection techniques can be applied to products in various stages of manufacturing, such as:

First Article Inspection (FAI): The first prototype is thoroughly inspected to verify that it matches design specifications.

Ongoing Quality Control: During the production process, routine inspections are carried out to ensure consistency.

Final Product Inspection: Before the product is delivered to the market, a final check guarantees all dimensions are within acceptable tolerance levels.

Dimensional inspection services often use sophisticated tools and technologies like Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM), laser scanners, and computed tomography (CT) scanning to capture detailed, highly accurate data.

Why Is Dimensional Inspection Critical for Manufacturers?

1. Avoid Costly Errors:

Manufacturing errors are not only expensive but can lead to significant delays. Errors that go undetected in the design or prototyping phase can multiply during mass production, leading to faulty products, expensive recalls, or even legal ramifications. Dimensional inspection mitigates this by catching errors early.

For example, a company producing medical devices must meet stringent regulatory requirements. Dimensional inspection allows manufacturers to verify each component's accuracy before moving forward with production, preventing potential non-compliance issues.

2. Ensure Product Functionality:

Parts that don’t meet required dimensions can cause products to malfunction or fail entirely. Dimensional inspection provides engineers and manufacturers with accurate measurements to ensure parts function as intended, improving product safety and performance.

In industries like automotive and aerospace, where precision is vital to safety, dimensional inspection ensures that parts like engine components or turbine blades meet exact specifications for both form and function.
