The new engines have me nervous!

The stock ones? Those use a completely different shader though! Are any of those screenshots you posted using PBR?

EDIT: Couldn't let you be the only one trying it...

Beautiful!

Do you have more information on the shader? Interesting.

well, from my quick test converting KSP bumped-specular to the Standard Unity 5 shader, I just dropped the diffuse (which had the specularity mapped to the alpha) into the Metallic slot in the shader. Albedo is diffuse, normal is normal but I cranked it to 3. If I played with the actual textures and the settings a bit I could get results very close to the new stock engines. I just booted up Unity to check real quick.

But of course, that is still only 11 :wink: 

Still, I cannot think many people would want...

Oh, but I can!

Actually, you have a couple I don't, and I had a few more planned besides those, but still.  In fact, your blocks have the same shape but much better texturing, so if you cover all the possibilities I can even stop maintaining these!

Oh no! I liked Beale Grey. (And, honestly, the Soyuz has a thermal blanket on it, so it shouldn't be that reflective.) The Apollo CM definitely does well with the shininess though!

Love the styling on the new textures - but please for the love of Korolev, make sure they stay "stock alike" and don't go all FASA on us. :-)

Hehehe, you both misunderstood I think.

That is the same texture, but under a procedurally based rendering shader, which will one day be standard in KSP, just a little preview :)

Youve convinced me :)

Been discussed.

Clip some fins into the tanks.

Strange... I have no problems with N1.

Can you try delete partDatabase.cfg?

 

 

Fins and gridfins for block A helped a lot, but then block V gets out of control! I had to tweak a lot of fuel and thrust values in order to make it into orbit. Thanks!

FASA was/is extra-shiney, however.

 

I DO really like FASA's launch towers. Beale, how-about you and/or CobaltWolf create some? FASAs are getting a bit long in the tooth.

BDB has apollo-style launch clamps in the roadmap

I meant generally having textures that look slightly "shiney" and don't fit with the stock parts.

Well that's because they had a plugin that added metallic reflections to the parts. Seeing as metallic reflections are going to be a sort of 'default' for exposed metal in the new artstyle...

(Check out the leaked image in the dev notes thread if you haven't seen them)

So could it be applied to any texture? I thought it was a special normal map or something, and I was about to suspend my modding efforts because I can't make those, but if it can be added to existing parts like you've done I might keep at it.

Also yes more RCS blocks!

Did you forget already? :D

I'd really like to see a Soyuz or an N1 stand. I like the Soviet-style launch platforms.

That would be killer as a Kerbal Konstructs site.

(bunch of mods)

I don't want to sound rough, but man, what do you expect with so many mods? Current Tantares version is working (I have a nearly Tantares-only save that I use for compatibility purposes), so it must be a problem of mod conflict
