Cydonian Monk Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 It's quite easy, but also quite awkward if you don't have knowledge of the UV unwrap positions.True. I've used a color-coded (think: red in one corner, blue in opposite, yellow and green in the others) to sniff out the general positions in the past (not in KSP yet though? (edit: once, for the stock radial monoprop tanks)). It takes some trial and error and a few passes (stepwise refinement of the color quads, etc), but is generally reliable. Still awkward though.

ZodiaK Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I'm not quite sure what you mean?If you take a look at that, you'll see that the booster isn't a straight up slanted cone, but has different angles of slant in different parts. hence, they have a gradient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beale Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Hey the LK can land on Phobos, that's good, right?True.

(edit: once, for the stock radial monoprop tanks)). It takes some trial and error and a few passes (stepwise refinement of the color quads, etc), but is generally reliable. Still awkward though. Ah, that takes me back to modding some games that really didn't want to be modded http://interspacenews.com/Portals/3/Articles/images/soyuz.jpgIf you take a look at that, you'll see that the booster isn't a straight up slanted cone, but has different angles of slant in different parts. hence, they have a gradientOk! I understand now.Yeah this is the plan, the current models are more "conceptual" kind of things to see how the texture stealing will work, and what balance the tanks have.

Lexx Thai Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Beale, may you upload the texture templates of your mod? I want to try make little more "realistic" textures for TANTARES & Co, because I'm not a big fan of too-stockalike spacecrafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to try make little more "realistic" textures for TANTARES & Co, because I'm not a big fan of too-stockalike spacecrafts.Of course!There are quite a lot though, do you just want templates for the Tantares?Direct links:CMOMSOMSorry to say, I'm not quite sure which texture area is Front/Back/Side, I'd compare them to the existing textures.For in-game, they are saved as 1024x1024 32-Bit Compressed TGAs, to keep file size down. But of course you can resize to anything Crew ModuleEngineOrbitalI'll upload more ASAP Edited September 10, 2014 by Beale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanT28 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 For the MIR parts, will any of them have the thermal blanket texture on them similar to your ATV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Thai Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Thanks!There are quite a lot though, do you just want templates for the Tantares?For all parts, not just Tantares. First I want to try to repaint the Alnair - I saw Excalibur/Almaz project and was very impressed.If I could, I promise to post the result.

When did I ever say the word make? I just told him to look at it for an idea. And the purpose of the raduga fits his needs perfectly. A modified hamal pod where you slip the container into it with all your science and send it back to kerbin. I never told him to make it. I told him to look at it for an idea.

Look at this pace for an idea for recovering science:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VBK-RadugaIt reads as pretty demanding because you wrote "you gotta take my advice".What you should have said was:Check out this awesome idea for recovering science:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VBK-RadugaOr even:This is an awesome idea for recovering science:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VBK-RadugaRegardless, it is a interesting concept.

C-3POyuz?Colours schemes are being redone with cream (beige?) as an alternate colour.@Lexx ThaiIt'd be really cool to see some realistic texture!RSS is becoming a new exciting frontier to me! The little LK is bouncing from Titan to Stickney craterRegardless, it is a interesting concept. I know I wouldn't mind something similar for retrieving science from the Station Science mod.Hi! Perhaps for now, not a whole new part. But I'm planning some station science compatibility in existing supply craft!
