Stock parts in Blender

[nhnifong]

Does anyone know where I can get the original models for the stock part collection in KSP or how to import the mu files?

I want to use them in some CG fan art.

Sorry nhnifong, this isn't possible with the .MU files, you might be able to load the .DAE files from the demo but that's hard work apparently.

It shouldn't be hard to remake them in blender though, as all the shapes are pretty simple

the problem may be the textures..

[nhnifong]

Are they protected IP?

[Martonaut]

woot? what you mean if they are protected.. they are still on the .mu or im wrong?

Importing the original .DAE files from the demo isn't too hard. Some of the parts in the full version left their original .daes in ther too.

(Like the Landing legs)

1. Get Notepad++,

2. open the DAE with Notepad++,

3. Ctrl+F, search for "diffuse",

4. remove everything inside the "diffuse" tags.

5. Save it,

6. import into the 3D software of your choice.

Have fun!
