Beautiful looking part. It a shame all that detail will only be seen in the VAB / SPH (or if theres a terrible disaster)

Mihara · October 8, 2013

I'd say we don't see many parts which look nice after a terrible disaster around here.

sirkut · October 8, 2013

Oh man. This is nice. These in various sizes, especially probes would be awesome!

automcdonough · October 8, 2013

looks great, downloading now!

Moon Goddess · October 8, 2013

This is such a genius idea!!!! Please make other sizes!

Captain Sierra · October 8, 2013

That's qualifiably badass man.

Neutrinovore · October 8, 2013

Yep, downloading this tonight when I get home. And about 10 minutes after that I will have 3 other resized parts cloned into the config file, for .625, 1.25, and 3.75 meter stacks.

Although, if you had plans to offer the other sizes yourself, I wouldn't have to do that...

Cruzan · October 8, 2013

Wow, that looks great! Can we expect to see a strip lighting version in the future?

want to make your ships look like they popped out of tron? hehe

edit: thats a good idea.. TO BLENDER!

@Neutrinovore, mind posting the resize numbers so I don't have to do a lot of guesswork and experimentation.....

Ryugi · October 9, 2013

This is awesome. It might just be me, but I feel like I can never have enough lighting options. I'd love more sci-fi style lights like this one that are both practical and look amazing.

Neutrinovore · October 9, 2013

@Neutrinovore, mind posting the resize numbers so I don't have to do a lot of guesswork and experimentation.....

I should be able to do that, unless the dev or anyone else objects. But unless there's something hinky with the scaling of the stock part, all I plan to do is copy the entire text of the file, from "PART {" all the way through to the final "}", and then paste that text back into the config file 3 more times underneath. Then it should just be a matter of changing the "rescaleFactor" for each separate part. And of course the descriptions, giving correct size info, etc. and changing the weights or whatever else should be different. Sometimes the 'rescaleFactor' can be tricky, though. This is a 2.5m part, so if the file says "rescaleFactor = 1", that's easy enough, you should just need to change that number to ".25, .5, and 1.5", individually for each part, of course. But there are lots of exceptions to that 'rule', so it doesn't always work right on the first try, so if you don't feel confident trying it yourself, you'll just need to hang loose until I can get to it.

Anyway, I'm at work so I haven't seen the file or anything yet. And I might not even DL it tonight, I'm pretty tired. But if no one else gets to it before I do, yeah, I'll post it here. But only after I've checked to be sure it works myself, you understand.

alexustas · October 9, 2013

Thanks to all!

In my plans full set of Light: 1,25, 2,5 (already done) and 3,75. But i don't want to use simple rescale trick.

The of inner part (with hatch) should remain unchanged, but Only the outer rings diameter is changing.

There you go, the dev himself has plans for the other sizes, so I'll let him provide the parts. He's right anyway, they'll look better if designed in their 'native' sizes... Wait, what? There's a HATCH in the center?!? I missed that, I need to go back and look at the pics more closely, lol!

Railgunner2160 · October 9, 2013

I figured he planned to make them, I just wanted to know what numbers to use in a cloned config, I've begun using these on all my crafts!!

alexustas · October 9, 2013

that's what I call a "hatch" :confused:

hatch/gateway/gate/bridge...

it does not KSP HATCH as such. no Airlock capabilities! just an element of interior design, nonfunctional. it's INLINE part.

alexustas · October 9, 2013

for 1.25m

rescaleFactor = 0.50

for 3.75m

rescaleFactor = 1.48

Neutrinovore · October 9, 2013

Lol about the hatch thing, yeah, I didn't recognize it as such when I looked at it. And I wasn't expecting any kind of actual 'hatch' or EVA functionality, I just hadn't grokked that that was intended to be a hatch in the middle. It wouldn't matter either way, from the pictures this texture is absolutely gorgeous! I hope it isn't too memory intensive, there's been a big movement in the last weeks to severely shrink RAM footprint without affecting the appearance of parts, so I hope you've implemented that concept.

Anyway, gonna download right now.

Oh, BTW, if anyone wants a .625 meter part, it would be rescaleFactor = .25, yes?

Later everyone!

Mekan1k · October 9, 2013

Um... I love the idea, but could you make it have a much smaller RAM footprint?

alexustas · October 9, 2013

Um... I love the idea, but could you make it have a much smaller RAM footprint?

originally it was an empty ring, with no internal parts, but it's too boring (( for me

I decided to make a more realistic design

I tried to keep a minimum number of parts and polygons as I could, without compromising design

alexustas · October 9, 2013

I can not talk about it objectively...

my main computer has 32 Gb RAM:)

there is a way to find out how much memory used by model in the game?

smunisto · October 9, 2013

Yet KSP can only utilize up to 3.4-3.7 Gb or RAM.

Minimizing invisible in normal usage components and polygons would greatly help.

I would use it, but I suspect it uses quite much RAM for just the one part, and this is due to the nice, albeit useless, presence of internal components.

Could you release a version of just the ring?

Also how about some different colors? - I guess most advanced users can do that themselves too...but still...

And more importantly - can you present an empty ring version with a little more polygons, the jagged edges when put under another stack part make it kinda unpleasant to look at.

drtedastro · October 9, 2013

Yes, i agree with smunisto... Please output more sizes of ring only and up the poly count. These are great... also, how would we change the color ???

ooh! Yes! I was wrong :confused:

Thank you very much for your help!

I will optimize the model. and most likely i will remove the interior details

I guess most advanced users can do that themselves too...but still...

It will be difficult.

the light source and the color configured in the Unity.

Okey:)
