W.I.P. MIR Docking Module

[Frandsen]

Work in progress of MIR Docking Module.

Im a big fan of BobCat's Soviet pack and as a small tribute to his awesome work, ive started an attemp to make a Docking Module for his MIR.

Status sofar:

First experimental model (No textures) is somewhat functionel ingame.

Second experimental model is getting textured. Not yet converted to go ingame.

[Frandsen]

Screens:

Its nothing fancy, a simple model with docking ports attached, and some stock bling

This Docking Module is a placeholder/gap filler ive made with some help from a Arma freind, it serves as a simple tool to make a "better than nothing" model, untill a propper one is made

*MIR and Buran is ofcourse from BobCat's fantastic pack.

Is this a hint to hurry up

Not at all buddy

Any progress?

[Frandsen]

Currently im stuck with the model as it is right now, textureing it have been a problem (the boxes on the side act up wird) so im considering to release it as is ~ as a placeholder untill bilsta1000 is done with his epic version

[bilsta1000]

Just because I can tell you want to see the progress.

Quick (2 minutes) Max render.

Bear in mind it's not textured yet.

Very awesome

Btw may i suggest that the tow docking rings are seperate objects (like the mir rings), im not sure a dual mount works

[bilsta1000]

The black and white textured part is exactly 2m

The idea is a stock docking port would fit on either end once it's complete.

Model - Done

Texture - Done

Port to KSP - in progress

CFG - WIP

Tutorial - Upto porting to KSP

If the new part module things come out whilst im still working on this, hopefully we can have a two ended dockable docking module.

Crit please.

I know there's a little bit of wobble on the Sketchfab, I think it's because I still had the lights in the OBJ file.

Looking very awesome bro!

Ive been following the ISS tropic, a two ended dockable docking module is not possible, sadly :/ i reccomend that the module it self is a structure with the ports as attached (like regular)

Is the texture going to change?No offense, but it looks "dirty"

[bilsta1000]

Force of habit, I usually like to throw on a dirtmap to break up the texture a little but agree, in this case I'll remove it.

Hopefully finishing the tutorial so might have a download soon.

i think texture need remake

[Kerbal01]

He said literally in the post above that the Texture is a WIP. Are you going to try to do something similar for the Soviet pack?(after you get your computer problems figured out).

[bilsta1000]

Texture altered, and at the unity bit of the tutorial.

Elaborate?

This model is purely because it was simple and because people asked for a tutorial on basic modelling, texturing etc.

Umm, its difficult to say...its like they dont have "depth", I suppose the difference in colors was made so that it looks like it has some small dents, correct? Otherwise it could be simple 1-tone light orange anyway...
