[1.0.5] Gryphon textures for Procedural Fairings v1.4

[Ravenchant]

Yeah I'm most of the way done making an MM patch to let every fairing switch between every fairing texture I can find. Should be cool.

Sounds great! You should let people on the main procedural fairings thread know if you haven't already

Regarding the insignias, I wonder if keeping the texture constant and then switching the insignias by prying into the flag system would work. Just thinking out loud.

Good idea, but that would make it necessary for all non-common details to be in the same place. Eh...I'll tackle the problem once everything is implemented

[Ravenchant]

OP updated to version 1.2.

On a related note, I'm noticing some compression artefacts in 1.0.4 even when directly exporting from .xcf files. Weird.

These look great! I love texture packs for procedurals!

[Ravenchant]

So I've done some teeny tiny progress on the Soyuz. Needs moar greebles. Any suggestions?

Edit: added some.

Defiantly liking those Angara fairings! I'll probably grab this as soon as I can.

Is it even possible to apply these textures to stock fairings and whatnot?

Edited June 26, 2015 by VenomousRequiem

[Ravenchant]

It's certainly possible, but if the stock fairing is made out of several segments, it will look weird. Meaning boattail+nosecone on every segment. Maybe if I just included the middle section...

[Ravenchant]

I'll update this weekend. Sorry it takes so long, but I'll have to make sure everything's compatible with the new PF release...aaand also include a requested texture set

[akron]

It would be awesome if you can take a crack at making these work with stock. They look very good!

[Ravenchant]

OP updated to version 1.3.1, only a couple of .cfg fixes this time around. New textures coming soonish.

[curtquarquesso]

Does anyone have any advanced tips or tricks for setting up really specified fairing shapes? I'm trying to set up some really detailed and technically accurate Proton fairings.

References:

If not advanced tricks, does anyone know if it's possible to inset a new curve into the shapes? I'm trying to achieve the stepped shape used on Salyut, Zvezda, and Mir Core Module launches. I'm going to try the black fairings in this pack to get the color right, but the shape will be tricky.

[Ravenchant]

Hey there, I made one extra texture on FlexGunship's request. It can be downloaded here. I'm not going to spoil it, but it's both comfy and not exactly realistic

@curtquarquesso: Give this mod a try. It includes a stepped fairing shape (like this; it's the outermost one)

[drtedastro]

Great mod, looks real good.

I especially like the ability to change textures.

Is there any reason why I can not modify so that all textures can be rotated through?

Cheers.

[Ravenchant]

Update 1.3.5 is done!

And by "update" I mean "small change". The grey fairing version got its texture size increased to a less eye-violating 1024x1024 resolution, and received new interior textures. The cable was an afterthought, which is probably why it looks out of place

That's great to hear, thanks! I'm glad you like it. As for making every texture available- some look weird when applied to a differently shaped cone. Procedural Fairings- for everything! has this functionality, though.

v1.4 is out! Long overdue, but it does fix some of the most glaring problems, like shading bugs (turns out I had used an outdated model file. Oops.), and ends reliance on CBBP's legacy textures enabling a more permissive license (now CC-BY for everything).

Now I just need to make them not look like cheap plastic and we're golden

CHANGES

1.4 	- fixed shading bug on all fairing types
	- new interior for Angara textures
	- better texture compression used, should reduce the amount of off-colour pixels
	- updated typos and manufacturer info

 

DOWNLOAD

Warning: update 1.4 changes some part and texture names and might be craft-breaking! For those who have a previous version installed: remove the fairings from all crafts that use it; delete the entire "GameData\Gryphon folder; install new version. Send me a PM if you need a download link to the old version.

 

BTW, there's an issue with the imgur album in the OP still displaying old Angara textures. Here's the new ones (Soyuz/ISS version not shown)

Spoiler

Also (unrelated 'cause I don't know where else to "showcase" it) I'm trying to learn Blender once again.

So, to clarify things, is it compatible with PF for everything?

Alas not currently, but two of the shapes and textures are bundled with PF-FE.

Any immediate plans for a 1.1 version? I have plenty of subassemblies with these fairings and don't want to have to remake them all

[Ravenchant]

@StickyScissors I actually completely missed that PF has updated already as I haven't even downloaded 1.1 yet Sure, I'll check if any changes are necessary and update sometime this week. I'll also try putting it on CKAN so installing will be less fiddly.

 

(Edit: also, thanks for using the mod! Do you have any ideas on changes you'd like me to make?)

[AlphaKerman]

Please updated to 1.2, the Soyuz fairing looks awesome! 

[Mecripp]

@Ravenchant Do you still have these and if so can you fix download link ?

[Ravenchant]

@Mecripp Sure, updated! And thank you for noticing, I guess it got broken when Dropbox changed how public folders work. The new link is here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/rvxemqa7igmyhoy/Gryphon Fairings v1.4.zip?dl=0

But keep in mind it's two years old now, so...likely horribly broken. I'll take a look at it, but don't expect it before mid-February
