Mr.Desmond Tiny Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Good to see you're having fun with modelling Naten As for the ram jet, not bad! Same goes for the nosecone. About the 40k thing, I *might have surpassed that limit with a certain quad nozzle engine.Any who, about tweaking parts, I might not be able to pump out new parts anymore, at least, not quickly. School has finally started, meaning my free time is almost non-existent now, except for on weekends. I can make small twenty minute tweaks, if you want, but making something big like the quad nozzle engine takes hours. That engine took me five hours to create, for example This doesn't mean i'm dead to the forums though, so if you still want help with anything, I can still probably help you out Heck, if you want, I can probably make a video to show how I model parts.*The quad core engine has 54k polys Edited August 28, 2013 by Mr.Desmond Tiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naten Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 *The quad core engine has 54k polys When life gives you polygons, don't make polygonade. Never give up. GET MAD! MAKE LIFE TAKE THE POLYGONS BACK!We should've been working on triangulating our models 30 years ago...YOU DON'T KNOW WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO, LIFE! WE'RE COMPACT ROCKETRY! WE'RE GOING TO HIRE OUR ENGINEERS TO MAKE A COMBUSTIBLE POLYGON AND THOSE COMBUSTIBLE POLYGONS ARE GOING TO BE THE POLYGONS THAT BURN YOUR ROCKETS DOWN!Heck yeah, we can use lots of polygons. See if you got the reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naten Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) I may be tweaking the shape of the intake. I hope to make the belly sorta fold into a flat plane onto the intake, as it looks not too great so far.Also, after a while, I tried UV mapping it. I forgot that I'm not done with it, though. So, I keep ending up with a totally black texture that is getting annoying. How do you propose I remove this offending texture?EDIT: The new texture was fixed, somehow. I think I reset the UV maps and unwrapped it to the blank placeholder texture. Edited August 28, 2013 by Naten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naten Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Here's the new intake.It was quite hard to make, as for some reason, there were like 3 edges in one "edge," as I had to scale it down snapped to the Y (green) axis to make it straight. Then, as it was scaled down to 0, it scaled the edges into each other.EDIT: Please tell me what you think. It's going to get uploaded to Sketchfab soon. EDIT EDIT: Here it is, on Sketchfab!

Naten Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Here's the boost stage. I modeled it surprisingly quick. Here:Please, as usual, tell me what you think Edited August 29, 2013 by Naten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Desmond Tiny Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Good, as for the booster stage though, is that a fuel tank or are you planning on adding an engine to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naten Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 It's more of an SRB type thing. I see what you mean, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naten Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Happy Labor Day (if you're in the US)! Oh, wait, do they have labor day elsewhere? I hope that you guys have no school today, as I have to start school tomorrow, so I'd like to get some work in! We're doing something seeeeeeeecret. Sssshhh...

Naten Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 After a good life of being responded to, Compact Rocketry's thread has been pronounced dead today just recently. We talk to one of his family members, the Snack Launch System development thread, who was just recently made, and is not responded to much, either. "We're born with this problem," he told us. "It's a killer disease among us threads, and lots of us die from it. Well, you know, it's normal..." A few minutes ago after they were called to the scene, the paramedics' autopsy showed that the thread's death was caused by its owner's neglect, who we will not name here today, to keep that person's privacy state intact. The owner did not change anything the thread showcased, slowly decaying the attention of the thread, lowering it to 2 times under the required weekly dose of 2 non-owner replies. This is anchor Munbin Kerman reporting from the scene. And now, we take you to Obbal on the scene of a spent rocket booster that tragically crashed into the snack repository. This has truly been a disaster. Enough with this nonsense. I'm going to keep working on a new SAS model, and a new decoupler model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astropapi1 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Any news from you guys? I really liked the idea of this mod, since most mods *cough KW and NP *Cough, cover 2.5 and 3.75 parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naten Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 Any news from you guys? School. 'Nuff said. But I can fit in some time here. Anyways, I've been working on some side projects. I hope the others are revived soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzysaurus Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 School. 'Nuff said. But I can fit in some time here. Anyways, I've been working on some side projects. I hope the others are revived soon. I'll go out on a limb here and say school is more important than KSP. But I do hope that when you get some free time you can do some more on the compact rockets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Desmond Tiny Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I still haven't left. Naten just refuses to open a release thread, which I have pestered him many times about Since school has been up and going for a while now, things have calmed down a bit, so I am able to work on projects like this again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting Blender at better. (huge teethy derp smile) HAR HAR HARI like--no, I love cats. So this was fun for me. I actually have 4 cats myself.I hope this will help me get better at rocket modelling. How hard can Blender be anyway?

Naten Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 HEY EVURYBUGHDYI had an idea.We can make SABRE'susing just two resources.Just by doing this;If we make intakesThat intake just oxygenwe can do this now:Fuel tanks that holdour special oxygen fuelthat feed the engine.When in atmosphereone that contains oxygenit can fill the tanksAs the engine burnsthe intakes fill the tanks.Oxygen and fuelmix to burn and thrust.When in space, tanks are drained outInto the engine.See what I mean? When you're in an oxygen atmosphere, the oxygen is scooped in. It fills the tanks as they burn away.The engine also needs LiquidFuel.High Isp in atmosphere and low in vacuum make it like a hybrid jet-rocket.Also, you can disable/enable flow of tanks for more direct flow of intakes.How's it sound? We already have SABRE engines (B9 aerospace, etc.,) but they need plugins, I think. So, what does everyone think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
