About the Carapace design
Carapace looks like the shell of something alive. Each slot is a curved chitin plate with raised ridges, layered over an underlayer covered in a fine hex micro-weave. Between the plates, the seams glow with a bio light in the accent color, and a spine runs through the center like the back of an insect. The shell plates have a subtle sheen, and the whole wheel has a slightly uneven, organic feel that sets it apart from the machined sci-fi designs. When you choose a weapon, its plate lights up along the seams so the selection reads through the glow rather than a flat fill. The weapon name and attachment sit in the middle above the 3D center mark.
Pairing it with your minimap
Carapace works best next to a dark, moody minimap where one glowing color does the talking. The Chitin palette pairs with an acid green map for outbreak or alien invasion servers. Carapace red suits horror maps with blood-red routes, Deep sea matches teal and dark blue ocean themes, Amberhive fits warm orange maps, and Obsidian shell stays nearly black for a very low-key HUD. Match the seam light to your minimap's road color and the glowing lines on the map and wheel will feel like one creature.

Carapace weapon wheel FAQ
Can I reduce the hex weave texture?
Yes. Seam light, weave strength, plate ridges and the centre spine are separate controls. Lowering the weave gives smoother plates, which helps if your minimap already has a detailed texture and you want the HUD to stay readable.
Is Carapace a good fit for a zombie server?
Yes, especially in the Chitin or Carapace red palettes. The organic plates suit infection and mutation themes, and matching the seam glow to your minimap's danger color keeps the HUD consistent and easy to read at night.
How visible is the selection on such a dark design?
The selected plate lights up along its seams in the accent color, which stands out strongly against the dark shell. You can raise the seam light in the studio if you want the selection even brighter.
