Do you remember the dome shields from Phantom Menace, the ones the Gungans used? Do you think we could pull off something approximating that?

I do, because we recreated them in a game that I made at a former company.

We could try it, but the thing with that is it's more like, I think of it like sort of Fresnel. I think a mesh-based approach to that would probably work. We can maybe try it later on if we get time, because I do have an actual sphere mesh as a kind of backup that I was going to use.
