Modelling requests and tutorials

So...any progress , bilsta?

[bilsta1000]

Just keep an eye on: http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Kerbal_to_Pro:_Modelling_in_3ds_Max

I've litterally just finished building my new machine.

also I'm lighting The Enemy this weekend so progress will be slow.

[dimovski]

Thats fine with me, Im sure everything youre gonna create is gonna be good, and worth the waiting, Ive been waiting for a good explanation of modding anyway...Btw, could you tell us why youre using 3ds max and not, say, Blender?

[bilsta1000]

Because 3ds max is brilliant for modelling and is used by industry professionals.

Blender is open source, not that that's a bad thing and blender in the right hands can create some incredible animation eg: http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/index.php/media-gallery/

I've also used blender before and I don't find it as intuitive as 3ds Max.

Also fixed the first booster, genius here got diameter and radius confused.

Cant wait for chapters of bringing stuff from the modeling program into KSP, have some adapter plates which badly want to get into the game

And I see what you mean with intuitive...blender is, from that viewpoint, kinda lacking

sorry about the delay, I'm shifting over to fiber optic so I'm having to sort our network out and havent been at the machine much.

Edit: I also have a house to decorate.

As long as you are doing it, we can wait.Its your work afterall.

I would love to see more side-mountable fuel tanks that don't require fuel lines or need to be dropped or whatever. Or parts that cram spare fuel in with other parts (like that strut mod that adds struts with RCS tanks inside the struts.)

I would also love to see some "fuel-tank-like" Xenon tanks and generators - for rotary mounted Ion engines.

[dimovski]

Now this got me thinking...INVISIBRUH struts!

[dimovski]

Anything new?Havent seen changes in teh wiki.

[bilsta1000]

See Here please.

[dimovski]

everything is clear now LoL...sorry

[bilsta1000]

I'm having some issues with the wiki editor not processing new lines when I copy over new versions of the tutorial.

Because of this the might be a bit of a delay on publishing the Kerbal to pro tutorial
