Complete IVA modding guide : modifying, creating - Unity, Blender

[kurgut]

It has been a while since I wanted to this, but finally, I took the time ^^

Information on KSP IVA modding tend to be scarse, or old, so this is an attempt at making a centralized place for that, with all my experience and others's I could find, put together :

https://github.com/kurgut/KSP-IVA-modding-Guide/wiki


I choose to put this guide in a github Wiki, so it can be a centralized place, where people can contribute, suggest modifications. This is also much more "readable", organized, and easier to modify than the forum post format.

So feel free to use this place here as a discussion thread, for questions, or if you want to suggest changes and / or additions to the wiki : )
For that, you can also use the Discussions section of the repo >  Wiki-feedback channel

For now the wiki includes : 
- Unity editor setup for KSP
- Modifying existing IVAs
- Useful links and resources


To add, complete : 
- Creating your own IVA wiki page :

Modeling
blender setup
.mu
Internal space orientation VS parts
layers
apply scale
clear inverse
materials / textures / KSP/shaders
import/export
MbD
internals
props
related internal modules
related part modules
cfgs and mod folder structure
MM
RPM
MAS
FreeIVA
Reviva
Props Debugging
Others




My KSP discord server you can join too, if you have questions, it's mostly filled with IVA nerds : P  https://discord.gg/GcfDk4DYHU


Credits : Some part of the writing in the guide comes from @Poppa Wheelie really good post on Unity setup : https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/topic/226382-unity-setup-guide-for-iva-editing-2024/


Happy IVA modding !
