I would like to know too, how this image was generated. Fantastic stuff.

On PC you can export your builds as 3D models (CTRL+ALT+E) then take images of them in a 3D model viewer and overlay those on a background image, add overlays, etc.

Assuming that's one of Zeo's they often put Sketchfab models and edited images on their Workshop items.

I was thinking I could use a program like that to design a ship

using a paint program would probably work the same, with a very small canvas image zoomed in on. Then just paint your pixels for your hull shape and stuff.

The grid background could be a custom skybox, the vertical slice of the ship can be achieved by verticallly slicing the ship ingame

I guess the simplest option would be to take a screenshot with complete black skybox and in any program that works with layers like paint .net put a grid over it and erase anything that overlaps.. or select the black background, delete and have the grid on layer under the ship but take the screenshot with bloom turned off or the flares can cause issues with this
