sp1989 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Been dwelling on a repaint. URM could get optional colors but SSPP would get a major overhaul if touched again (but that will not be anytime soon).I don't think think its too presumptuous to assume that people are going to be using SSPP as a analogue for the Russian ISS parts. So if you are considering to change the colors of the SSPP parts, maybe consider making them close to ISS colors, or at least optional colors. The way that Fustek station parts has the color switcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way that Fustek station parts has the color switcher.+1, i'm one who would love if it was possible to switch between different testures like Fustek does, i certainly would build stations with stockish, white (ISS and Mir) and green (salyut and TKS) if it was possible (and available, of course) to swap them like Fustek does (but only getting stockish would be awesome already)if you need help with the textures i might be able to help, i'm used to make repaints for FSX... (although i'm not good at making structural details) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) well they are editable feel free to give changes a go and post some screens lolAs for Stuff... I am still not sure about Square mounts as Versus Round. The issue was one that making them Square saved polies however... RD-170 is very high poly anyway. and it would make making strutting them correctly easier. Then again this does not looks half bad.

CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 Since the RD-170 family is probably too extremely detailed I will most likely add models that are fully covered. Thus dramatically reduced in ploy count. I normally would simplify all the designs to be smooth and use normal maps to add the detail but because this family of engines is so awesome I wanted to really capture their form. (plus I had amazing referrences to go off of and adapt to my preferences) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alttabmatt Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Oh god! It has been a month or two since I have browsed KSP mods and to my delight KOSMOS is back and fully functional! One of the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might not exactly fit with the other engines in the pack but hey.... They will look pretty and texture memory space wise only count as one new part.

Guest Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Besides, polycount is less of an issue than textures on modern GPUs. As long as the texture is kept within reason, and the collider is not custom-made, you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) I decided that there are 2 more RD-170 family possibilities to create though only one in the near future. The other will need to wait for a bit though should be useful. I may possible attempt to reduce polies if needed. I will test this out tonight I think. And hoping to get the NTRs out soon.

CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) I can understand that Yeah I had a virus attack yesterday. But that seems mostly resolved for now. Anyway plumbing on the RD-170 family has begun. The required positions of the Fuel connections is a little weird and much different than URM-1 mounts but... It is a must for my plans.I am concerned. NoMRBond is MIA Lets pray he is safe.and the virus seems to have messed up my 3ds Max install....

JoseEduardo Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 just reporting it, i've got that VA bug, where it shrinks when you time warp, too i'll be using the Mk 1-2 pod until it gets fixed (fits nicely if you use SDHI heatshield) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 NoMrBond lives good to know. Random Thought, Looking at the RD-275.. it looks nothing like the real RD-275 lol. I might re-name this at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 ops. NTRs were up for release soon but now the gimbals arn't working so those are delayed. The good news is that I've decided to make another varient that lacks gimbals but gains something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardBoardBoxProcessor Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) Naturally the RD-175 is a tricky one to plumb since it is so unconventional. but here RD-175 is 95% plumbed. Definitly high poly and over detailed but I have wanted to make these engines like this for 3 years. They will be the pride of the URM-2 & UR-3 fleet so I want them to be stellar. Incase you were curious RD-171 fuel lines to get the fuel to each nozzle. Edited November 28, 2014 by CardBoardBoxProcessor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
