[WIP] M.E.M Munar Excursion Module (10/14/14)

[karlalbury]

Building a Mun Lander based on the lem i know is a few already but wanted something that felt less out of place. started today model is about 80% needs interior and (base - Started). will be just a tank, designing so that stock legs RCS and ladder fit well.

going for a simple model and texture set that looks like it belongs. (updated pics photobucket was not being good )

check list

Lander 100% (Needs Normal Maps) (Complete)

Base 100% (Needs Normal Maps) (Complete)

Interior 0% (Diffuse and Normals)

2m Holding Can (Diffuse and Normals) (Complete)

(Working on hatch open animation)

Thinking of changing the gold foil to tin foil looking little too nice XD. or maybe just a stock tank design texture (thoughts?)

Normal Maps Finished

BTW if anyone knows where that tutorial on setting up the hatch in unity is please let me know. Thanks noonespecial

That... That looks stock!

Looks very cool!

[Deathsoul097]

Awesome except for one thing, the Hatch is way too small. Double, maybe triple it's size and lower it, and you should be good.

[karlalbury]

finished the base.

assembled Door fixed thanks (Deathsoul) did not notice till you mentioned it

Here are the links for setting up the hatch in Unity.

Airlock (Actually a hatch, but it's called an airlock in KSP)

Adding airlocks and ladders to parts - Airlock collider must extend beyond the ladder collider to allow the click menu.

Airlock positioning 1

Airlock positioning 2

Airlock positioning 3.

These and other useful links (such as how to make an IVA) can be found Development Links Compilation thread here

Looks really good. Perhaps include a variant in the download that does not have M.E.M. etc and Mun or bust?

This is the besest stock-alike lander capsule I've ever seen! Good job, keep at it

[Helix935]

hmm have you looked at the MEM for the mod SXT by lacklusterlabs for inspiration?

since i am at school i had to use this, the mem is in the upper (most) right (most) corner of the picture

also try having the windows to stick out forward lie the real lem

[CaptainKipard]

Good start.

First seen of this one (Naw doing my own thing)

also try having the windows to stick out forward like the real lem

Yea the real one dose but will add to tri counts i want to keep it simple and this isnt a replica its just based on the LEM

[karlalbury]

Finished the 2 m Decoupler/ faring to house the MEM removed mun or bust from the lander and placed on the can instead

On second thought i think i will was looking up info and images to work on internals and noticed how they function giving a view of approaching ground over the angled lander stage. o.O thanks for bringing that up (Yay function)

[karlalbury]

Altered entire shape to make internals work widened and enlarged airlock, pushed window angle out so can see ground from cockpit landings

All thanks to that weird standing up we don't need chairs landing business.

[karlalbury]

Started on internals

[tater]

Wow. very nice looking. Well done.

[Secuas]

Looks awsome i'll download as soon as it gets finished

[karlalbury]

A little ingame testing not sure why scale is off need to go over notes again

Fixed it

Edited October 15, 2014 by karlalbury

[karlalbury]

Fixed it

think this is the scale to use only a fraction smaller then the 3 kerbal pod and fits 2 also still fits inside of 2m parts.

hmm looks awesome karlalbury although personally for me it looks cramped for two kerbals so just maybe scale it up just a small amount and it should be perfect

Edit: nevermind after reviewing the image at the bottom it is already perfect scale compared to a kerbal
