q250 Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 how it works? is it just heat shield or parts really modify in-game parameter "radiative flux"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has an insanely high heat tolerance and very little heat conductivity, i havent tested it as a heat shield but feel free to test it out as one.

q250 Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 Quote maxTemp = 30000 skinMaxTemp = 30000 heatConductivity = 0.001 it just ordinary heat shield, not sun mirror. also Quote entryCost = 275 056 cost = 203 050 why so much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah thank you, I'm not too well versed on the config parameters, will be updating that soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorg Posted yesterday at 06:56 AM Share Posted yesterday at 06:56 AM (edited) 7 hours ago, Lonelykermit said: I'll play around with TU and see if it's any better or not The benefit of TU is that it supports some features like recolour masks that resurfaced/shabby does not (yet). Resurfaced (which works via shabby) has the advantage of being better optimized under the hood. Additionally the shaders used in resurfaced were made specifically to facilitate getting a good PBR result while using a base colour map and alpha channel that still works well for stock legacy shaders. additionally it has some features like packing metal maps from multiple materials into 1 texture for efficiency. If your part is intended exclusively for PBR and requires either mod as a dependency, purely from the point of view of the end look you can achieve an identical result with both. Using one over the other also does not introduce any conflicts. Parts using resurfaced can exist in an install alongside parts using TU no problem. The only conflict would be with a mod using TU that patches all parts like Magpie which people shouldn't be using anyway. In short, for your use case it really doesnt matter which PBR mod you use. PS. The parts look great btw! Edited yesterday at 07:04 AM by Zorg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
