RaendyLeBeau Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) dear all, today i worked on the SS AVALON Hull structure. - I renounced on extensive "riveting" optics . The rivets I have only used at certain places as around hatches or windows - i hope it fits. - As a template I tried a little to imitate the structure of this ship - ok, I know that I am miles far from it ..

RaendyLeBeau Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 dear all, yesterday & today i worked on the Upperstage Block Units in Blender. - as some with the ship I renounced on extensive "riveting" optics . The rivets I have only used at certain places. Especially I have adapted the service module texturing, since there was no texturing structure before. Now it looks better. Hope the whole comes even better out with normal map in Unity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though not too soon, still got placement Hello Kertech, the thrust values of the upperstage-block engine will approximate that of a Vulcain 2. For more values I can say nothing definite. We have pretty much adapted all engine stages, so you have to be patient until the next release comes out.

Although I confess to being among those who opened the thread and was disappointed that you hadn't ported in the Avalon from "Passengers." xD Hello, yes I admit you have lost at the project beginning a little time with the name finding. the film 'passengers' came a lot later .. I knew nothing of it. (Really am innocent )I find the film really good, I was also amused about the spaceship name 'Avalon'. The space ship name was first planned on "Excelsior", later unnamed in "AVALON" .. - i find really great this concept Pictures, the Ship design is fabulous ! (sorry for my google translate english) https://blog.pond5.com/11952-how-guy-hendrix-dyas-created-a-new-kind-of-spaceship-for-passengers/ Spoiler - please see sketch name at the bottom left that was the original name 'excelsior' - The concept was created by the production designer "guy hendrix dyas". He did great things, was also involved in the Film 'Inception' and many more. Edited May 3, 2017 by RaendyLeBeau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaendyLeBeau Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) Dear people we are almost at the end of the development cycle. The most important is ready to test. Here and there textures still have to be made. But the biggest is almost done. For reasons of time I could still not at all the prices of the parts and the techtree. So I have the AVALON architecture blocks schematically represented. - later they are still labeled. The rest of the Avalon-mod file structure has been reworked. Logically related parts are now in the same directory. So I tried to make bigger textures which are however shared by several sharing. This has the advantage that these textures only need to be loaded once and are used by several parts. This saves memory. Interesting to see in this picture : I have tried to represent the size relation by means of existing space ships like the SpaceShuttle.

RaendyLeBeau Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) Dear people, 'almost' does not mean quite yet .. as on the main page to be seen there are still some implementations which have to be made like. : RealPlume, Interstellar (hyperdrive) version / compatibility. ASET props for all IVAS .. (the IVAS are still in development ..) - At this point again many many thanks to the co-operation with @Nansuchao it will make the 'RealPlume' imlemenation and testing some parts. In addition, he is conultant in topics like rocket-engines and other astropysical topics of which I somtimes really dont have idea. I'm more of a creative art director with 'blender' yes we have reached a milestone. But we still have to do a small piece of work. Please be patient. Finally, we do everything in our leisure time. By the way, many of us modder have a job or study to do. Family and other things to do. And sometimes a modder now I speak of myself, simply missing his motivation. Spoiler and.. talk about the topic donation is unfortunately wasted time, because the expectation of 100% of all user's is the 'download-for-free' mentality. Unfortunately. And this is still incomprehensible to me. - and yes I know I make myself unpopular with such expressions and many of the community are excluded me therefore. But I do not care. I go my way, and say what there is to say. Edited May 11, 2017 by RaendyLeBeau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smotheredrun Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Do what you have to do when you have to do it, sir. The majority of us would rather have something that takes a long time to do that is polished, complete, and usable anyways. Waiting is half the fun. Your development posts are always (for me anyways) very neat. You have a very different take on interplanetary ship/lander/infrastructure design than most of the developers out there - and this is a good thing. If we have to wait for KSP 1.4 to come out before this is ready, so be it. It will be worth the wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always try to do it all well, and put myself under pressure. Yes I think you are right I must correct my view, no idea why I think everything must be finished immediately next week. I should tackle the whole relaxed.Thank you very much! cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaendyLeBeau Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) Hello together, took me a small break. In the meantime I have asked myself for the STS AVALON a few 'interstellar' solar panels are missing. So I wonder how solar panels would look like. maybe like this . . or this .. others interesting concepts Spoiler - - So I look, I'm not quite sure yet .. when it makes sense I create a few cool soolar-panels concepts.
