KVV - Kronal Vessel Viewer = Exploded ship view + Axes on the VAB + other stuff: now released into public domain

Yes, scale will be awesome. And ability to set screenshot size)

And the most beautiful thing will be front-side-bottom view!

bigorangemachine · September 27, 2014

I thought those white lines were a scale. Can we get a scale?

Like I said, that would be things better suited for photoshop. When we get information exporting that would be a good attribute to include.

We recently discovered that images over 4096px (height or width) generate those white lines. In the recent release (10 minutes ago) all screenshots will now render up to 4096.

Set the color to pure black, even if you have dark objects on your ship due to the rendering it won't be exactly (0,0,0). Then just import into an image editor and use a magic wand tool to remove the black. Now you can layer on top of any image

It'd be be better if the plugin could export an alpha channel.

/prepress hat on: Use select color range for de-matteing instead of the magic wand. It's easier to tweak the threshold on the fly that way.

Have an alpha channel is a planned feature.

If you know how to use Photoshop Layer Masks you can export 1 of the your ship and 1 of a black-white mask you could easily combine them.

Whoop - Manley'd

just saw Manley's video and with the first chance i will try it out. One question though. Would it be possible to add a sketch of a Kerbal next to the rocket, especially the small ones,/and or a scale in meters for scaling purposes.

GusTurbo · September 27, 2014

Congrats on gaining some major visibility!

I like this.

Would be neat for perspective.

A scale would also be nice.

In all, great work.

Still there...

Original was 4096px - 3999px and using 0.0.3 on "Kerbal Space Program - 0.24.2.559 (WindowsPlayer)"

Wow thanks for the heads up and specifying you resized it .

A few details would be helpful.

1) What OS (32 or 64 bit)

2) How much RAM do you have

3) How much Video RAM do you have?

Maybe its' a surface area thing rather than a biggest side thing

Hello, I've got a problem with some of the parts. They seem to be transparent, even after launch

Or at least become transparent only for other part shadows/specific other parts.

This isn't a parts mod. Wrong thread?

smunisto · September 29, 2014

Nope, I think it's related to this mod. Only happens if I launch the craft from VAB/SPH after using KVV there. Then, if I save and reload the part transparency is back to normal.

bigorangemachine · September 29, 2014

I don't know how this can be a bug with this plugin. As long as you hit revert before you launch.

This doesn't change the shaders of the craft; it just applies different shaders to a different camera. Either way its buggy and we know that not reverting causes an issue.

Make sure you revert your craft. I'm pretty sure this is KSP not the KVV.

Nori · September 29, 2014

I had the same issue as smunisto. Getting this in the ksp.log. (note I did hit revert before launching)

bigorangemachine · September 30, 2014

I'm looking into those warnings. They have been there a while.

Howeer those errors on are on load not when you switch.

Like I said before. Thats probably a KSP bug anyways; I repeat that I ask you all to be aware this plugin may damage your creations so if this shading issue is a concern keep a backup. Honestly it'll be too time consuming to look into this when there are other things to be fixed. We aren't changing the models (except to separate them).

Is it possible to screen like a bluprint like this?

bigorangemachine · September 30, 2014

It could if we had someone who could provide a shader that does this.

smunisto · September 30, 2014

The transparency kinda bugs me, so for the time being I removed the mod. Then again, whenever I need a nice screenshot I plan on installing it again.

Thanks! It's BilBo Spacedock, a refueling and science station in orbit around the Mun and named in memory of Bill and Bob Kerman who were lost in an unfortunate gardening accident.

Hey we already tracked down the issue (again). Thanks!

Gaalidas · September 30, 2014

I hear you totally with those gardening accidents. Even on solid ground those plants can be dangerous.

LitaAlto · October 1, 2014

Is anyone else having problems with getting KVV to load? It doesn't show up in the KSP Toolbar in the VAB. I'll provide logs later if needed.

Try 32 bit.

Make sure you are using KSP 0.24 (0.23-0.23.5 this is a tell-tale issue for those versions). Ensure you got it from KerbalStuff or Curse or GitHub.

If you are using ModAdmin like i was - DON'T (at least not for KVV).

It seems that ModAdmin completely ignores some folders, so just delete the old one and copy manually

@bigorangemachine - is there any way to remove the shadow from the KVV ?

I focus mainly on SSTOs and SPH and shadow is annoying as hell

Otherwise, some nice shots can be made with it. Keep up the good work
