It looks nice, but I feel it could use a bit more. In what program did you make it?

Plugins. They require that licenses be added to them by the author and that they be followed either by the end-user or a mod-developer, depending on what the license covers. As long as no license is violated, things should be fine. There are some licenses that prohibit distribution except by the original author, but I'm unsure if any KSP plugins have one of those, so it'd be a good idea to read through any licenses belonging to plugins before posting them (and of course, always ask the original author for permission, just in case and as courtesy.).

Sure thing. Already done.

I would say this is less Fan-Art and more "Addon-y," so I'm moving it to Addon Development.

I believe sal_vager meant the final release of 0.17, and not the final release of KSP. Although, Squad still has the right to change any aspect of their game, including names, at any point in time, although I find the probability of Squad changing the Mun's name to be along the same area as a pink elephant strolling across your living room. Possible, but unlikely.

Yes, roleplay is back with a new look, forum, and set of rules. If you are not experienced, don't worry, we have our team of Headmasters ready to help you out and teach you how to roleplay. We also have a set of tutorials for you to read that can guide you towards creating a new nation or corporation. Creativity is key there, and if you need any help, please feel free to ask. If you have any problems with the site itself, please visit the "Contact Support" page for information on how to contact the Site Administrator (that is, me). In-Roleplay Probelms should be directed to either one of us, Ascensiam and I, if it is extremely urgent, and for less urgent problems feel free to contact any Grandmaster/Gamemaster. Thank you, and welcome to the KSP Roleplay Forums.

My question is how they managed to kill the Kraken. I quite liked those fancy descriptions of what they did and how. With the mighty Kraken slain, no one knows how.

Welcome to the Kerbal Space Program Forums! Yes, this game is extremely addicting. I remember stumbling upon it back in July. I retreated into my cave and wasn't seen for the next week or so, only coming out for refreshments. The game has advanced quite a bit thanks to the fantastic work by Squad, and its only going to get better. Enjoy your stay on the forums, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask. - Your Friendly Neighborhood Moderator Radion

6/10 For self advertisement, plus two for the high-res picture of a kerbal, giving you a solid - *Drum roll* 8/10

Perhaps, yes. The emit value on the night texture I intentionally lowered so it wouldn't be dominating the scene, but I guess it would be good to up it a bit.

The city light glow or the atmospheric glow?

Thanks. The custom maps were a pain to make at times, but it paid off in the end. The only thing I wish I hadn't done was applying a Gaussian blur to the city light maps in Paint.NET, they look out of place in the video.

Yes, they are. I love 'em, Andrew Price is an excellent blender teacher, the things I learn I apply to other models of mine. The Kerbol reflection was easy enough, all I had to do was recolor the specularity to red, then increase the intensity so that the center was white and the rest was red, as opposed to the red specularity that would occur with keeping the intensity level. The compositor was a little tricky though, as the atmospheric glow effect would also cause the stars to look rather weird on some screens, but perfectly normal on others, so I just took it out.

I created this animation today as the introduction to an end-of-days scenario going through on the roleplay forums. The animation depicts Kerbin alone, no Mun in sight, revolving on its axis. Using material nodes I was able to make Kerbin transition from the daytime texture to the night city-lights texture. Using the daytime texture I also managed to create a bump map and specular mask to ensure it looked as realistic as possible, then added a cloud map (it's actually Earth's cloud map, courtesy of NASA) and a sphere with transparency with fresnel to add the blue atmospheric hue. http://youtu.be/VX1HlzDywbI The stars flicker though, which is an issue, seeing as this is supposed to be a space-shot, but that's just one of the things Blender does (and I hadn't the time to go through some of the ridiculous workarounds). It could use some music, or at least sound, but this is the preliminary I have.

Welcome to the forums and congratulations on your landing! It's pretty common here to regard any landing you survive to be a good one, seeing as many find it difficult to even get to another body. Keep going at it and you'll be making round-trips in no time! Enjoy your stay here on the forums! - Your Friendly Neighborhood Moderator (In a Spider Suit) Radion

Come Komrades! If you are eligible, you owe it to Mother Kerbin to help us keep this kommunity safe! For the KGB!

6/10 I'm not a fan of Ponyism, but It looks nice.

We\'ll be moving the forums from Simple Machines to vBulletin, a paid forum software that is quite frankly better than the one we have now (even if I don\'t like the default color scheme and viewing methods and whatnot).

It came out already!? I was reading the Animation Dev discussion and had no idea. Welp, I salute thee Squad yet again for your fantastic work. Now, to 0.16!

Reading this thread sounded like reading the manifesto of a 2012 disaster theory. However, I am saddened that I can\'t see the aurora from where I live. Ah well.

Thank you very much. I hadn\'t seen that one. I\'ll be sure to report back.
