Early WIP concept, 3D render of a spaceship IFFI (Identification Friend or Foe Interrogator) - which could be used as a black box flight recorder, ship registry and tracking beacon.
Concept idea; manufacturer fitted with anti-tampering security, but possible to either modify at risk, or remove and use as a decoy for bounty hunters etc.
Wanted something that had inspiration from scifi such as Expanse and HAL 9000, whilst also following modern airplane technology shape language. I also didn't want to use a normal round lens dome shape for the glass, so I tried a rounded square shape that made it look similar to a speakers protective housing, reminded me of another older scifi called Biggles: Adventures in Time (Helicopter speaker dome).
Has two camera style lenses behind the glass dome, one larger Red and a smaller green, which would be part of the security feature and anti tampering.
Created in Blender, basic screen texture created in Inkscape.
Temporary textures and lighting used for early model only.
Remaining to be done; computer keyboard, security handle, rear housing, rail system, final textures and lighting... possibly animation and rigging.
