curtquarquesso Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) This didn't take long...Benefits of texturing a simple shape I suppose.The metal is now omni-directional heatshield, with a "shock-plate" on the bottom (Yeah, this is totally made-up).http://puu.sh/gEuF0/2ef3f67ad6.jpghttp://puu.sh/gEuGD/70f61f14fe.jpghttp://puu.sh/gEuHD/f60989615b.jpgPart welders!Make this, the хûõñ úþÑÂüøчõÑÂúøù úþрðñûь...http://puu.sh/gEuZY/71ef1a590c.jpgLooks great! Could you go into more detail on the "shock-plate?" I don't know quite what that means. I really like the smooth rounded bottom of the current Vostok. Any chance we could get a vaguely honeycombed heat shield pattern towards the bottom of the capsule? It'd make it really unique and authentic, just to harken back to the actual capsule. Even if the heat shield is technically omni-directional, it'd still be nice to visually be able to distinguish the top an the bottom.Additionally, I really do prefer the current round hatch. I feel the square one looks to similar too the Soyuz OM. Edited March 17, 2015 by curtquarquesso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beale Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Looks cool! Will you make a spherical probe core like you wanted before? Thanks!Yep, this model is set up well for conversion to Zenit!Looks great! Could you go into more detail on the "shock-plate?" I don't know quite what that means.

I feel the square one looks to similar too the Soyuz OM.Shock-plate, absolute pseudo-science made up thing. It's a big flat plate that takes the brunt of the shock heating.I guess I can smooth out the bottom a little...Interesting idea, I do quite like it.The hatch, I appreciate that, but I think it just looks awful from certain angles. The distortion is really severe when drawing a circle over separate faces. Not that I'm against a circular hatch if someone can suggest a way around this.Thanks for the feedback!Here's a comparison shot of both, hopefully to give a better idea.

That is pretty severe. Good move then on the square hatch. I take it that even if you increased the number of vertices on the sphere, there would still be noticeable distortion?The honeycomb pattern looks really unique! I'd love to see that refined. Even if you don't end up using it, it'd make for a great alternate texture one day. In off-topic news, Lockheed unveiled their proposal for an ultra-capable, semi-reuseable station servicing vehicle. It's really neat. http://spaceflightnow.com/2015/03/17/lockheed-martin-throws-its-hat-into-iss-cargo-competition/It basically keeps the service module in orbit for long durations, and it picks up launched pressurized modules launched via Atlas V and brings them to the station. It's compared to a locomotive with interchangeable disposable cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a slight variance in texel density across the different 'panels', so not so easy to make things line up.In-gameStuffLightsMy favourite part, the door mechanismYeah, I hate every other Vostok part, they're horrible.

tg626 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) It might be nostalgia, but I'm starting to feel sad about the loss of the original parts I fell in love with...I'll have a go at using the new tantares +KAS support with my old save game and let you know the results. I only recently added KAS and find it to be AWESOME. I expanded support to let me remove and reinstall your solar panels so I could shuffle the panels around my MIR somewhat like they did in real life! And, I placed a winch on the end of my KERVANT II module too.Javascript is disabled. View full albumWhile each module has some living space, the 4 around the core are mostly disguised fuel tanks - this will allow me to launch tankers from Kerbin, stock YAMAS, and use munar shuttles to take fuel to my Munar Salute station where they will dock and refuel my 1 stage lander which I use to grind munar contracts.

Do you feel the new parts have strayed from the original art style too much? (I'm trying to "future proof" them for the inevitable porkjet/ven remastering of current stock parts, which I expect to happen). I guess you already know this, but you can go all the way back to V12 on Kerbal Stuff.The YAMAS! Fuel tanks! I was staring and confused last time you posted it, on the adapter like piece, is that a TLV tank? The lifting body shuttle design is pretty sweet too.The mission plan is quite ambitious! I do like the idea of fuel shuttles / tugs. Ive never really tried anything like that.I'm going to Kennedy Space Center tomorrow. I might have an idea for you to consider from this visit.I'm all ears! No, I am literally a gelatinous mass of ears. Oh god, help.

I might have an idea for you to consider from this visit.I'm in Orlando, and haven't been to the visitors center in a LONG while, just the beach to watch launches... Hit me up the next time you're heading out there!Core-module:Mostly Tantares (what else?! ), KAS (will maybe replaced by KIS), Nebula Handrails and Procedural Parts (Adapter between Kvant and Senior Dockingport; radial tanks)Tweakscale (for procedural parts)Science-tower (no pics yet, sorry) and Communications-Tower:KISDMagic Orbital ScienceHope that helps Thanks for the list! I guess the parts I couldn't identify were Procedural parts. Very inspiring stuff. Beale, just reiterating how much I love the possibility of a honeycomb texture for Vostok once you get PPTS done. Teaser of the N1 + Soyuz 7K-LOK + LK Lander ultra-detailed .craft file: There will be two versions, one with a TON of greeble that may have dependencies such as Tweakscale, RLA, and possibly XT Landertrons, and one simplified version with no dependencies and less greeble. I may ask someone to flight test this sucker in stock-ish 1.0X Scale KSP as I'm running 64k Kerbin with complicated ISP scalings, which is a PAIN to uninstall/reinstall.

Maybe... but I'm probably being "Change Averse" about it...On the KAVANT II module, that is a TLV tank buried inside a TKS service module with one of your adapters on the end, the ribs line up perfectly!And the shuttle, which I posted before, is my take on ROMBUS and would not be possible if it were not for that V2 nose cone!! The core and KAVANT I were launched with your PROTON, but the rest was lofted using my fully reusable ROMBUS which *drastically* cut costs.

Chadley123 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I'm having a problem with the LK landing legs - whenever I have the legs extended while warping, they seem to teleport back to folded up when I come out of time warp. Don't really know how to take screen shots of it, though it's an annoying but minor issue. I'm using a mac if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
