Best Asteroid Models From CGTrader Community To Inspire You On Asteroid Day!

June 30 is the Asteroid Day! It's a " global awareness campaign where people from around the world come together to learn about asteroids, the impact hazard they may pose, and what we can do to protect our planet, families, communities, and future generations from future asteroid impacts." The even is held every year on anniversary of the largest impact in recent history, the 1908 Tunguska disaster. And modelers are thinking about asteroids, too! Here are some of the best works from people making digital space rocks.

When you want to put asteroids in your game, you want put in a lot of them! That's why an asteroid set is so great! Just make sure not to name the game for these rocks, you might have copyright issues.

Space is the final frontier, and if you want to raise the next generation there, you need outposts and deep space mines. Why not set up your enterprise in an asteroid? That would transform a useless rock into a cool base that any voyager would be glad to visit.

Comets are icier than asteroids and that is what helps them get their flashy tail. Plus, I guess they're big enough that you wouldn't want them to crash into your planet either. Also, there was a really fast WWII British tank by that name. Has anyone named their fighting vehicles after asteroids yet? Yeah, I didn't think so!

Why do asteroids need all those craters and pockmarsk? Why, they make for great hiding places for your plucky heroes! And giant space worms like living there, too. Plus, it's a good way to drop any ships carrying mysterious alien bioweapons that meld technology and biology. Asteroids are basically space's couch pillows.

This isn't a photorealistic asteroid, but damn if it's not the most stylish one! I can totally see myself flying past in a stylized, low poly ship that is painted in bright colors. and decked with oversized guns. If I wanted to establish a pirate base, I'd choose this asteroid for sure.

This is an asteroid that's definitely going into a CG scene. Ships are going to fighting around it. Giant robots piloted by teens are going to be using it for cover. It will be providing an awesome view through a space station window. Possibilities are endless for this ambitious young space rock.
