Sonar/Radar Arm Equipment

Developed this cool sonar/radar that goes on your wrist for a side project of mine!

The range and speed are upgradable, this is just a demo.

Let me know what you think!

Thats really cool.
Me personally, i really like when there is not much HUD, and it is actually a physical object that you look at. Thats why i love this idea.
I do think the arms are a bit big though.

Thank you for your feedback! My game will barely have any HUD elements and most of the UIs will be physical objects, I think this keeps players immersed and brings a different experience. As for te arms, I believe you could be having this impression since the right arm is also raised, I’m no animator so these are just placeholders for now, thanks!

:weary: :biting_lip: finally someone else that prefers physical objects
Yes that probably is the reason the arms look so massive.
You coulp probably move them downwards and forwards slightly so they take up less space on the screen and do not reduce visibility so much.
Then you could probably scale the radar up so that it is still large enough to see.

EDIT: (ignore this if the compass model is a placeholder) You could also add a bit more detail on the radar, by for example making the housing cylindrical and adding little details like a ring (like a keyring) and maybe some very faded writing with the manufacturer name or something like that as a cool detail.

The model is also a placeholder but I appreciate the suggestions for the design! I’ll make sure my modeler knows.
