RaendyLeBeau Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 dear all, Had revised the "landing unit" - the other land feet were too thin and did not look convincing. Here a few blender concept sketches .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kertech Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Hey @RaendyLeBeau, just wondering about the docking port cover, is it folding to 180'? My experience with other mods is that sometimes the cover can bump the target vessel. looking great, can't wait for this to be ready! (Though not to soon as gynae exams are next week!!)

RaendyLeBeau Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) dear all, for practical reasons I have to decide to create for the ss-avalon an EVA-ladder. the ksp-ladders are too little and and unsuitable. Here some blender concept skteches. - cheers Edited March 26, 2017 by RaendyLeBeau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaendyLeBeau Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) dear all, so this and next weekend i want to work to finish all the upperstage parts. I hope I manage it until then @Nansuchao .. sorry everyone for the delays of the upcoming (developer/test) release. Hope least the pictures I post you like - Of course, this picture is missing of the APAS-docking port.- Probably forget him in the VAB hangar..

RaendyLeBeau Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 dear all, maybe i rethinking some parts on the upperstage block. Would like to make the whole more direction-realistic-scale and away from the ksp-stockstyle. The serveice module with integrated antenna I find from desing her very appropriate. As well as the orange fuel-tank. The rest I want to think about. here some ideas .. ( The size ratios of objects should be the same ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaendyLeBeau Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 I think these should be adaptations without losing too much of the original structure. In the principle, only the lower part is adapted and the middle part (fuel tank) is enlarged in a realistic way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaendyLeBeau Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 dear all, after agreement with 'nansuchao' we will equip the upperstage block with a "vulcan" vacum-engine. the "Merlin"-engine would have been a solution - but this is quite often used in other ksp mod. So we stay in the european space and make an italo-eu. Production - the images of the new adaptations of Upperstage-block will follow shortly..

RaendyLeBeau Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) dear all, so here a short preview of the new redesigned Upperstage block with a realistic vulcain-3 engine. As you can see the (orange) LH2 fuel-tank also a little enlarged. - the lower LOX fuel tank has remained almost the same. In addition, the lateral struts were made a little more stable. - the service module remains the same. -> In order to make the transport system expandable I will still add an adapter. - This Adapter-Fairing (dia.=6m) can be placed later on the (orange) LH2-Fuel tank above. Then satellites or other payloads can be installed. Edited April 1, 2017 by RaendyLeBeau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaendyLeBeau Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 dear all just added some scale details on upperstage - here the results - it looks very real luv it now i am satisfied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi ISE, very thanks for your kind words. in effect you see eveolving the texture processing.but i am not completly satisfied at moment with the upper stage. in particularly with the LOX/LH2 fuel tank textures.. cheers Edited April 2, 2017 by RaendyLeBeau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaendyLeBeau Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) dear all, here last texturing progress - Now I find the aluminum texturing better, besides, I have the service module ready made. - Now everything looks more scale.

RaendyLeBeau Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) dear all, days ago i make the follow concept - maybe i want to add an additional propulsion modality for the S1 Lifter Stage it consit to attach 17x RS-68x engines : this would look something like this.. But it is intended to serve as an additional option, not to replace that existing Here I have a very good listing about performance data of rocket engines found : http://www.b14643.de/Spacerockets/Specials/U.S._Rocket_engines/engines.htm Edited April 4, 2017 by RaendyLeBeau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaendyLeBeau Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) dear all, here some pictures about the last modelling progress of VULCAIN Engine. I think it fits perfectly to the upper stage & it looks quite nice. tomorrow i go ahead with texturing.

RaendyLeBeau Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) dear all here the final result of textured VULCAIN 2 - Am away from the ksp-stockstyle and have deliberately tried to get this Engine a more a scale look. - think it looks quite good for the first time - maybe I can even renounce NORMAL-map Edited April 6, 2017 by RaendyLeBeau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaendyLeBeau Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) hi all, here final textured Engine with Fairing added some refinishing-look textures - now it looks used So I'm tired - I'll go on tomorrow Edited April 6, 2017 by RaendyLeBeau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaendyLeBeau Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) dear all , Here some pictures which serve me as a template. Certainly the original has much more details. I had to concentrate on the essential parts of the engine for playability reasons. Try this Weekend the additional drives RS-68x for the core-stage. Then everything comes into unity to make the parts playable. - The scope of these mods is growing more and more, and is becoming more comprehensive.. In the principle one has besides the stock-parts everything you need around eg. a Orbital-Space Station or an Interstellar trip to other planets. There are also ASET IVA's and here news: - possibly we make own AVALON- Missions or Contracts .. we work on it - Respectively @Nansuchao - I would like to take this opportunity to thank him again!

RaendyLeBeau Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) hi all, here latest progress of RS-68 engine -i tried in Blender some matlab object materials, of course this material-views are no relevant for game.. but it looks quite nice and give it an 'realistic' effect like "normal map".
