Universal Reentry scorch marks?

[Cloakedwand72]

Is their any mods that add in scorch marks like what you see on the Falcon 9 & heavy when they reentering for landing. Just like the launch heat you also see on the delta heavy rockets etc.

None that I know of, though it would be nice to have one. From my minuscule knowledge of modding, it would probably be a mask overlay over a part, though it probably couldn't be based on systemheat, so a knew heat system would have to be developed.

It could be a bit harder than it sounds, as different shapes and sizes would char differently. Maybe just an effect module that makes the part’s texture darker when exposed to a certain temperature, with more heat making it even darker, would do for a simple effect rather than actual burn marks and streaks of soot.
 

If I remember correctly, the KV pods from Making History have some form of blackening after re-entry but I suspect they’re a one-off. Might be a place to start if someone wanted to investigate?
