[1.2.2] Smashing Industries - Parts Pack (v0.3)

[SmashingKirby148]

Welcome to Smashing Industries!

So, basically, this is a thread for a WIP pack I'm making, which adds more parts to the game. Simple enough.

Not only will they be useful for me, and for you, the reader, the community, but it should also provide a learning experience for me as I'm going to attempt to make other parts I haven't made before. ( parachutes, landing legs, solar panels, docking ports, launch clamps, and although I have made pods before, I have never made an IVA, because I just don't have a clue how to. )

Most recent addition: Mainsail, Skipper and Spark Remodel (inspired by @Porkjets ideas) and a 2.5 metre Science Package (animation a bit buggy)

Hmmm... I'm not too sure how to make normal maps. I remember trying once, but it didn't turn out right. :S

It will make your stuff look A LOT better. Basically, you make a 2D height map (50% gray base, anything darker is lower, anything lighter sticks out) and then let Unity or xNormal convert it into a normal map from grayscale. Little bit more info here

Hmmm... I'll try and focus the next update on that before I work on anything else, because If you say it makes such an improvement then what have I got to lose?

Sorry I've been away guys! My internet shut down for 3 or 4 days so I couldn't do anything. And school has really been straining my time since when I go home, I don't want to work for the rest of the day on the mod (or else I'll get burnt out (or maybe I'm a procrastinator (maybe both))) so I get very little time at home since I'm 30 minutes of a drive away from school, and school lasts from 9:00am to 3:35pm (or to 3:20 on Thursdays and Fridays). Fortunatly though, I am quite a doodler, but my doodles are actually the plans for new parts for this mod. Now that the weekend is here, and I have my internet back, it's time to start making some parts.

New update, guys! Added two new parts, including my first animated part!

I did have those renders I showed you, but I never realised for each one I saved, I overwrote the last one, so right now the current only render I have is the Poodle Rework I showed you. But yeah, tomorrow I will post pictures.
