Bin Chicken Inc. WIP Thread I present to you my FIRST EVER ATTEMPT AT 3D MODELING AND PART MODDING! Service Modules: Somewhat inspired by SHDI Service Module System and a very old (5+ years ago) mod, that from memory was called "SM Service Module" and somewhat inspired by real life, i have decided to give this a go. The scope i have set for myself is for a family of stock-a-like service modules similar to that found on Apollo, Orion and also some of my own concepts. being an Australian i have decided to name these after Aussie birds I plan on making a few different 2m variants for different missions. but to start with ill be just doing some intended for Kerbin orbit and for operations within Kerbin's SOI. These modules will contain a verity of consumables and may or may not include other functions such as built in decouplers and other functions as i learn how to implement them. I use 3ds Max as my 3d modeling software as it is available to me for free through my university. I have tried blender, however i cant stand it! I would be interested to hear any criticism weather it would be about game balance or about the models themselves. I also would like to say that i have absolutely NO SKILL IN MAKING TEXTURES AND SKINS! If anyone would be interested in texturing these models please let me know. You would have a free hand in creating stock-a-like textures and i would be happy to credit you for your work . So without further ado, lets get started.... SM-16 "Kookaburra" Service Module: The SM-16 is intended to be like the Apollo service module. It is designed for Munar and Minimus Operations SM-2 "Bell Bird" Service Module The SM-2 is currently being modeled, but is based of the Orions service module. it is designed for Kerbin Orbital Operations Also Planned are other service modules designed for long duration missions such as interplanetary transfers and also remote controlled modules for cargo and utility purposes

Thank you so much! that explains things nicely! i'll keep at it and hopefully start a dev thread for my parts soon! :-)

Hey guys, so im making some new parts and i have a quick question regarding stack nodes... do i have to place stack nodes in the actual model before exporting it to unity? secondly do i have to assign a meterial to the mesh collider?

disregard, my problem was down to user error noting else apologys

That's Awesome mate!!! The last thing you need is to start getting bored of building. I am really looking forward to seeing your new craft files!

works great thanks! :-)

Thanks!! will test now and report back!

I would appreciate it! very much. in smaller aircraft it has a tendency to push the nose way down. It feels like im fighting the controls to stay on landing profile. Thanks, freak

thanks for the mod. :-) quick question. the hook is acting like a big airbrake in the air... should it be doing that or could it be another mod interfering?

No problem. :-) That is precisely what i am doing at the present. thanks for the response and your efforts on this mod. :-)

can any one confirm or deny this?

That could be quite useful around stations! especially if u need some "ommh" to kick one into a higher orbit, like what i would like to do with your skylab. +1 on the EV-2L

The Radome comes from Blue Hawk Industries http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/136721-blue-hawk-industries/ she a bit slugish till you get rid of that drop tank, but makes for a nice fleet defense fighter. i also replace the tank with a targeting pod, download all weapons and use her for recon. :-) im weaponising some of your other designs too. ill post more here as i complete them. EDIT: afterthought- yes i actually use her on a carrier with working catapults and arrestor cables. ill post a vid when i get round to it.

@Raptor9 I kind of Navalised and weaponized your T-4 design.... hope u like it!
