LogInThe model was created by Sierra Division's Niels Couvreur for the studio's upcoming project.
Sierra Division, a digital content and art outsourcing studio, has unveiled Vitality Monitoring Device – SDNCED Series 9, a highly-detailed sci-fi 3D prop comprising a high-tech metallic hull and an impressive analog-style display.
As stated in the ArtStation post published by the studio, the prop was created by Niels Couvreur, a 3D Environment Artist at Sierra Division, for the studio's upcoming project, currently WiP. To make the model, Niels utilized such software as 3ds Max, Substance 3D Painter, Fusion 360, and Marmoset Toolbag.
Here are some of the renders and behind-the-scenes shots shared by Sierra Division, you can see more by checking out the studio's original ArtStation post here:
The studio has also written a short story explaining the lore behind the device:
"As you can see, this device has seen some s**t in its day. It's surprisingly delicate, but has survived nonetheless.
This Vitality monitoring device is used to scan for potential life forms in all kinds of environments, dark, frozen, humid, super heated, and operates basically out to the edges of space itself. It connects to a large rod device that can help it to access hard to reach spaces.
The two cylinder clamps and metal clip on the back that you see, near the rubber hose, will help you to link this up to the previously referred to extension rod. You humans might refer to this type of rod device as a 'selfie stick', but ours has a much higher purpose."
