[Part] Boeing CST-100 Parts

[kineticPull]

So, its finally in a goodish enough state to post.

I present my replication of the Boeing CST-100 Spacecraft

As you can see, very unfinished, especially the textures; however, a preliminary download is below.

For those willing to help me, I could use a good texturing tutorial that starts with UV mapping.

I think the pod looks too flat. Otherwise, this shows quite some potential.

Here's a real life picture of the CST:

Wasmic is right. The pod is way too flat.

Thanks for the tip. The service module is currently upwards of 9000 polys, and I'm not sure how to lower it without damaging the shape of the radiator. Do you know of any way I could fix this?

Normal maps and smoothing.

Here's some extra help if you need to discern the capsule size in relation to the service module...

That said, KSP is anything but poly-limited. So don't be scared of reasonable facecounts.

...When it's justified. 9000 on a cylindrical part is not. I can see some bits sticking out so remember to intersect your meshes where appropriate instead of performing boolean operations or extruding.

Would love to see an IVA when this gets finished.

Modelling noob here: what's the difference between intersecting meshes and using a boolean function to combine them? When is it appropriate to do one or the other?

I'm currently remodelling the whole pod, and it looks much better to me now. I just can't figure out how to make my textures look half-decent. The Pod remodel will come with a (basic (for now)) IVA. Wondering about the blue emissives inside the pod.
