[WIP] Orbital Sciences Pegasus Rocket

[lpam]

Hi guys,

I'm new to modding, but I thought I might as well pass some time and give it a try.

I have watched some YouTube videos and taught myself to be fairly good at Blender however I am a complete novice at Unity.

Here is a model of the Pegasus from Orbital Sciences I spent an afternoon on. Feel free to give me any advice on how to improve the models, also I will need some help with Unity so feel free to PM me or post in this thread. (I have read the "Unity to KSP" thread http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/25040 but it seem to be out of date.)

Looking good, I remember seeing a orbital sciences rocket pack WIP around here but it hasn't been updated for like 2 months.

There was someone, Keenan smith I think he was called, was doing the Antares launcher but the thread hasn't had much action lately which is a shame.

Are you going to try to do the L1101 (or something like that) carrier aircraft?

[lpam]

I will have to see how this goes first.

1. I don't know how unity works yet.

2. I don't use aircraft much in KSP, but this might change with the upcoming SAS change in 0.21

I like the looks of your model, going to be keeping an eye on this thread for sure.

[KhaosCorp]

Models look great so far. I like how you have split the fairing cap. Am I looking at this wrong or does that vehicle deploy a small payload and a shuttle?

[lpam]

No it just deploys a satellite the way normal rockets do, except the rocket itself is deployed from an aircraft.

The shuttle type thing are the wings of the rocket, I think the model needs more work though.

I have applied textures to some of the parts, these will be improved however when I learn more about texturing to include more detail and perhaps Bump maps.

Also I will be going on holiday soon so, if possible (not promising anything) I would like to release an early version so any help with Unity will be greatly appreciated.

Also here is the model in Sketchfab, if anyone can tell me how to include textures it would be greatly appreciated.

This isn't bad but you might want to use edge split in some places, especially between the cylinders and the tapered parts.

[lpam]

Thanks for the advice, I will.

Also, does anyone know how to texture the fairings so that I can have a different texture on the inside compared to the outside because at the moment I have a Pegasus logo on the inside.

You have to make the mesh doubhle-sided.

OK, I'll see what I can do tommorow and will post an update.

Any more progress?
