Unity to KSP: A Detailed Tutorial

[Camacha]

I cannot see my part in KSP and I think it is because I cannot get Unity to write textures. For as far as I can tell, I assigned everything I need to assign, though I must be overlooking something. I cannot see the material/texture on the part in the main view either. Any help would be appreciated

Edit: I can now see a texture on the model through simply adding it in Blender first. Redid the whole procedure, still no texture export.

Edit edit: it works, I just had to drag the model onto the GameObject in the hierarchy browser. Before they were just two separate entities, causing Unity only to export an empty object.

This might very well sound a bit basic, but today I opened the files I was working on before and the hierarchy seems to be gone. Is that supposed to happen? This seems to have happened in all three cases, in different projects and different files.

Did you open the scene?

Did you open the scene?

That is it, thank you. I did save the project, but I did not save the scene. Good to know

After some experimentation with diffuse textures today and combining multiple models in Unity, it is now time to figure out how to do specular and alpha. Another issue to resolve is that those multiple models result in multiple textures too. However, we might actually go somewhere with this

Well for Parttools you need to go in (example)

Downloads\PartTools_KSP11_2\PartTools\Lib

All the files here can be moved to you Unity Project's Assets Folder.

But a the Drag-Drop of Parttools.dll isn't allowed by Unity.
