Elite dangerous SRV - based on official concept art
I have been playing Elite: dangerous for a long time and I wanted to make something that would be able to fit in the game. The design of this surface reconnaissance vehicle stood out to me because of how well it fits the design language of the other vehicles and ships in the game. It was a really fun project that I learned a lot about.

I used a lot of smaller models to add detail to the vehicle. I put all their UV maps together for easier and more efficient texturing.
