Hi @EggiBoi

There is actually another way to do them using Blender and the .mu plugin.

That being said. If you can give very clear instructions that an absolute novice can understand and give links to verified to be working tools. (many of the old links have gone bad).

Then I would very much like to see your tutorial.

Good luck.

Yo @ColdJ

This is going to be a beginner friendly tutorial.
Don't know why i'm doing it now especially when I have exams.
Will force myself to add content tomorrow.
For future tutorials I will write them before uploading them.
Originally made this because i couldn't find any tutorials for ivas, but apparently there is. (an entire sub-forum)

I know about the blender method, I thought that unity was the simpler one especially with orient down and the snap down tools. (Am i wrong?)

Can only try my best.

Having not used the Unity method myself I can't compare. But I have done alright with the blender method.

Hi, 

I'm currently trying to modify an existing IVA, but I'm new to unity/blender in general.

I followed the instructions from KSPparttools post, but sadly I can't unity to import spaces or props (errors : "cannot load space")
I talk about the post linked at the bottom of this message.

I'm replying here since you talk about blender and .mu addon, which I have installed succesfully afaik. Is it possible to load an exisitin IVA, with its props, and modify it directly in blender ? (note this is for personnal use). Because I tried loading up a .mu file, and the result was this :

I guess I need to load additional files, to display the props/texturing ? But I don't know how to do it, if it's possible..

So I'm hopefully seing this as an alternative to Unity, which for now doesn't work for me...

Thanks a lot for your help !  

Just the said post for reference :

 

EDIT : SOLVED !! I posted the solution found in the above linked thread. : )
