[Part] Unnamed 4 Kerbal Capsule, Work in Progress

[Talisar]

Hmm, I'm by no means an expert at this. The only thing that springs to mind is did you maybe accidentally uncheck the "Mesh Render" box in unity for that particular mesh when you were adding the thrust transforms? And are those visible gray parts a separate mesh from that part this is invisible?

[Deathsoul097]

No. They are supposed to be red, and they are part of the same mesh.

[Talisar]

Aha, I may have spotted something... In your config you have

node_stack_bottom = 0.0, -0.75, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 2
node_stack_top = 0.0, 0.0, 0.75, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1

Try changing it to:

node_stack_bottom = 0.0, -0.75, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 2
node_stack_top = 0.0, 0.75, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1

[Deathsoul097]

Nada. Didn't do anything.

(Sorry for taking over your thread, S3416130)

EDIT: Turns out I misspelled attach in the CFG, it works fine now, apart from the pod only using the door's colliders for the airlock and ladder, and being invisible. Also, the flames are ridiculously large, and need to be about a tenth of the size.

EDIT EDIT: Can any further posts on this be in this thread? I don't want to be crowding your dev thread with my own ridiculous fails.

It doesn't bother me at all if you continue to use this thread for help.

[Talisar]

Oh, S3416130. You should copy those airlock and ladder instructions into a post and get it stickied in the Modeling and Texturing forum. It's very well written and easy to understand. I wish I could have had it when I was learning to do airlocks, rather than having to figure it out piecemeal from half a dozen different threads.

Great work with that!

Thanks, I'm usually very poor at explaining something. I'm glad it could help. However, posting those instructions should probably wait until I'm sure it wasn't mistakes in my instructions that caused DeathSoul097's part issues.

That capsule with stock-looking textures would be very nice.

[Helix935]

dang i didn't a person can model that well in Sketchup. Keep up the awesome work

[MrZurkon]

Looks like i could make a Altair lunar lander with this ,only if there was a 7 man pod!,

[Andrewmacor]

you should do it

[Helix935]

is this still going because it looks great

[S3416130]

is this still going because it looks great

I've been working on something fairly big for this for the past few days. Its probably going to take a little longer before I can showcase it.

[Andrewmacor]

Cant wait until you upload it

[kiwiak]

This capsule looks quite sturdy... Like something designed for Eve

[Helix935]

hmm i wonder what this will be called? Because this looks awesome.

[Ravien]

Great job, worth watching

[S3416130]

Okay, so I took a break from this for a few days, and this is where the project stands since my last update post.

I've been working mostly on the internal, which is still far from finished, in terms of both texturing and modelling. I'm still not sure about how it looks so far. I also cleaned up the main model textures quite a bit.

[brooklyn666]

Looks great so far! What do you intend for the final outer texture to look like?

[S3416130]

I'm not really sure. I expect that I'll be making dozens of tweaks to the texture as this project progresses. This is part of the problem with the internal as well. I never have a expansive plan in mind, but rather I make each panel individually in Photoshop, and see how it looks in KSP. If I'm not happy with how it looks, I modify it or scrap it and start again.

O! M!! G!!! Cant wait!

This is the extremely early collection of parts that show what the project might look like in the future. These are very rough models open to many changes.

The engine nozzle was modelled in about 2 minutes, since I only wanted to give a rough idea of what it might end up look like. I fully intend to give it and everything else much more detail.

[Explorator]

My god. Those models look great! Are the extended things solar panels? No offense they look a little flimsy.

Edit: I just realized that they are customized to fit in the ship, interesting...

Looks great! Keep up the awesome work, I look forward to seeing the finished product!
