Daemoria Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) So in effort to break into game dev, and actually release a game sometime in my life time, I've decided to pick up modding KSP. Now introducing SRI, my take on an alternate past/modern/future space program. The goal of this project is to create a standalone total conversion, with a full set of parts, and tech tree/career integration. I will still be maintaining the standard dimensions of Stock parts, but will have parts up to the 3/5/9 m (unscaled) range as well for ultra heavy lifters and construction.Because I'm a concept artist in my free time, i'll be posting a lot of development sketches in addition to meshes.And now for some pictures.Edit, created an imagur account due to slow loading of dropbox files. I hope the presentation works well enough to show what I've accomplished so far.Javascript is disabled. View full albumJavascript is disabled. View full albumI'll be posting more in the future. I hope to enjoy my stay here.Current Status:march15,2014 Working on LowPoly meshes for first rocket release.Development TeamDaemoria [sRI CEO] - Modeling/Art directionSpace_Kraken [space Kraken LLC] - Code and configuration file developmentLack [Lack Luster Labs] -Unity specialistGreen Skull [Green Skull Inc.]- Unity specialist, configuration file development Edited March 15, 2014 by Daemoria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimMartland Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) This is going to be incredible when its finished. The parts look so detailed, its insane. I really hope this gets done and we can finally use really big rockets that look stockalike without sifting through NovaPunch. You should add some science instruments and utility parts too!Good luck!

FanaticalFighter Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Those pods look like a Soyuz from the Portal universe xD. Awesome work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemoria Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Everyone, thanks for the great response! I hope i can manage to get the textures working and make the Command Pod truly shine. FanaticalFighter, Yea I was inspired by pictures of old Soviet space craft. I really like the strange shapes they have, very unique compared to the 'standard' tower launch rockets now.stupid_chris; I use the RealChute in my ongoing career... they are so nice to use. I do like the functionality they provide. I don't think the models wouldnt fit the style of SRI vehicles, but i would like to try to incorporate the .dll into some custom parachutes.TimMartland you want some large launch vehicles? I got you covered. Here is some examples of what you'll be able to build out of the SRI components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roygbiv0415 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Just when you think that all rockets must look like rods and bundles of rods.This is waaay too cool https://db.tt/FXiGeZiR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

problemecium Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 This is the first total conversion mod I've seen. You have my interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekan1k Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I just saw the concept for the unmanned command pod, and I heard the cylon nyoum sound in my head. The one it's eye makes?In other news-that is awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sojourner Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Is that command pod you modeled 1 part or 2? It looks like command pod plus a service module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemoria Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 Sojourner: Initially I planned on it being a 1 piece pod with everything integrated, but for safety/realism reasons after thinking about your comment, I decided to to split it up. See bellow for the new staging.Bazz: I did see that vessel in my search for reference. It's a very cool design indeed, some of my design language for my lifter concepts did come from that SSTO.Mekan1k: What unmanned pod? The rendered mesh is a single seat command pod, I only just did some concepts for the unmanned tech (see bellow). But yes...more glowing eyes, i agree. We need evil looking rockets..for SCIENCE.--I think i got everything i need concepted out for a fairly modular system. The next post i put up here will be actual mesh of the lifters using the low tier equipment. Thanks once again for all the comments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUAV8R Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Very, very, very well done Looking forward to seeing additional progress on thisUntil then, stay cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daemoria Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) So the weekend rolls around, and I get some free time to work on this again. Pictured here is the long 1 meter liquid fuel tank and a standard stage 1 engine, also 1 meter. Coming up soon is either the fairing or the 2 meter adapter tanks. We'll see what happens.
