[WIP - 0.25] Squad HD Re-texture Project - Continuous Release (July 25)

[DisarmingBaton5]

Blackheart, I love that command pod, but it needs a ladder.

[Preliator]

Do you know why I don't like it? not the work itself... you do a nice job... but because is... mmmh... is not aggressive enough-->

That's the Mainsail! give him the right aggressiveness!

How do you make an engine more aggressive? Tone it darker?

[Preliator]

Yes, darker and maybe some bright colors.

[blackheart612]

Or maybe putting an angry face?

[Preliator]

Lol why not:P

[blackheart612]

In the end, I'm gonna do a lot of changes, but what's done are done. I'm working on pod textures atm, that's why it has no ladders yet. Chill out

[wasmic]

What have you done so far? And are you going to release it when it's all done, or will you release it in bits?

[blackheart612]

I am running around the forum atm, but I am converting and making rough lay-outs atm. Development is slow, thanks for reminding me

I'm gonna put more time here.

[blackheart612]

So.... I think making its bottom blonde colored fine

Ladders too.

Windows were a little bit changed also.

[DasBananenbrot]

Looks awesome

[blackheart612]

Newer LV-T45:

The new face of Kerbal X first stage(as of now)

Look at the change in fuel lines, is that good or not?

[DasBananenbrot]

It looks gorgeous

[blackheart612]

And since LV-T30 is of early making, I shall make it a little silvery-steel... maybe.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before but the reason KW looks so good is in part because the artist baked AO into the textures. Doing this would require something that's possibly legally dubious, so I'm not sure. I'd be cool if you looked into the possibility of importing Squad models only to bake an AO map, which you can then burn into your colour map.

Please forgive men, but what is AO?

These all look very nice so far, especially the Mainsail. I always thought of it as the F-1 analogue and that's what it looks like. Will you be changing the Skipper? Personally, I really like the texture for it already, but it's sort of the J-2 analogue so that would be neat.

Looks very good, though put arrows on the fuel lines, not having them would be kinda annoying.

AO maps are Ambient occlusion maps, the once with really awesome shadowing, looks like awesome 3D.

Yes, I will be texturing everything. This includes skipper, after LV-T30, I'll texture skipper then. I am actually excited to texture it because it looks cool.

Sure, thank you, I'll add it.

Also, AO maps are less likely, I mean I can but I don't know how to rip off .mu files yet nor to make AO maps.

Looks very nice indeed!

You can use taniwha's mu importer to get mu's into blender.

Thanks for being helpful as always nathan.

Did I say the pod looks good with a DRE heatshield?

Cause it is.

Here's a separate topic, anybody think silver is plain or not? Will this color do or more for KW?

I think it is a bit plain

[nhnifong]

I really like all these textures!

I must agree, it needs some more color.

How about this? Make the main chamber and the bottom part of the nozzle, under the bottom rim, a dark gray. That might make it more diverse.

I really don't feel the nozzle color itself. I wanted to make a viking-like engine with adding any maps and failed horribly. The main chamber there was just a scratch btw, I filled it up with gray.
