Soviet spacecraft with IVAs?

Recommended Posts

how good of an IVA are we talking? place holders to get at portrait view of the kerbals face? stockalike set pieces that look nice and complete but don't actually do anything? functional RPM control consoles? hyper realistic bolt for bolt replicas of the real soviet interiors?

ok not insurmountable fortunately all stock iva textures now work off the same pallet with ambient occlusion being applied as a separate sheet so there is no experience in digital painting needed to make stock alike IVA's also modeling wouldn't be as bad as it could be as soviet designs don't have a lot of windows that need to be lined up with.

the biggest challenge I'd see is just the tedium of UV unwrapping, camera and lighting rigging, and prop/kerbal placement. It would be time consuming but there is no talent based barrier of entry. Tell me do have any prior experience with unity or 3d modeling software?

None whatsoever. I've done digital art (for instance, that Joker avatar is my artwork) but never modeling. But what I was really asking is "Does a mod like this already exist?" instead of "Can someone make this mod?".

I know of Tantares & KOSMOS, but I'm pretty sure neither have IVAs (correct assumption? I could swear I saw that in those threads).

ok then wings3D would probably be a better tool for you to use than the ever popular but more difficult to learn blender3D there is even a popular tutorial about making parts for ksp using wings3D

this mod doesn't already exist a combination of high quality level of detail, and limited actual functionality made most modders shy away from trying to make IVA's in general in the past, but fortunately thanks to new ksp features with enough practice and corner cutting its not as impossible as you think for a first timer to make something that can pass scrutiny.

Tantares has had IVA's in the past and may even have some now, but the author has refreshed and revamped his parts over time such that some may have been depreciated due them no longer living up to the quality of the other parts or due to them no longer lining up with the windows etc...
