I'm (attempting) to make a mod!

[xxjetterxx]

So I have a few questions:

A): Is 5464 tris too much for the ship? (it will be an all-in-one pod/wing/engine with infinite fuel).

: is there any way to make the entire part reflective? I did this in Sculptris and I don't know if it will behave well in Unity.

C): Would you guys be interested in seeing the model so far?

Thanks!

...engine with infinite fuel.

If you do that, very few people are going to download the mod. Why not simply hyperedit the thing to whatever planet you're going? /rant

What is it supposed to be? Some kind of CRV?

It's just a small shuttle-like alien pod. Think of it as some kind of kraken ship. Here's an image to give you an idea: http://imgur.com/cxJFrMo

Note: I'll try to use reflective shaders plugin to get the gooey effect in that photo to transfer to KSP. I used a shader on the sculpting program, but it won't transfer to unity.

A) No problem, some individual parts have as many triangles as your whole intended vessel (and a traditional ship could have many such parts)

You could give it 100% specular and also wind up the KSP\specular shader values in Unity and it would be shiny as all hell, but to be actually reflective you'd need a plugin

Thanks, nomrbond. I'll look into the plugin, but I just got the part itself ingame.

Starwaster's updated version of Razcheks reflection plugin is the only one that comes to mind

Best of luck

Damn, that thing looks cool! Keep it up!
