Kerbal low poly ready to skin bind, will be used to adjust the sit position inside the craft.

 

p.s. For future goggle search, here some words:

Kerbal, Model, Maya, 3D.

are these for IVA things? i think someone already had too-scale kerbal models, somewhere, but i wouldnt know where.

 

also, i am excited for release

I did it based on the ones from blender, i suppose that are the one you are talking about. Manage to convert and clean it up, because it came super high poly, out of scale, and with a lot of junk edges. But solve my necessity. These mines are in scale, i think the model the game uses will depend on the mods you have installed. Like those that remove the helmet when in atmosphere or inside the ship. The default attributes are with white full suit (helmet + jet back pack).

But when i got there, i can see it more closely.

EDIT:

UVW of CREW Group done!

So folks, here's how far I am.

The passenger module, with the anim's ready.

The video is a little brisk, and I will adjust the time of the anim's too, for slower.

Next i finish the colliders for the module, as well the nulls for seat's and cfg part file.

I hope you all enjoy it!

The pilot compartment solves the issue we discussed earlier in the thread about an internal seat.  I can see a path to take to allow seating kerbals from sm.  Now to determine how to make sm external seat aware.

Nice work!

[Climberfx]

Cool Papa_Joe. If you find or remember that link, share with me.

Would be great to have it working from launch with crew...

Cheers my friend.

[Climberfx]

So, advanced some more, manage how to move in between modules (ladder tag's), and have solved the Seats.

Now i will separate the seats as a part alone, with custom attach to the right position on crew modules, that way i will be able to have more then one seat used at a time. (KerbalSeat limitation)

I hope you enjoy the evolution!

 

EDIT: done. Seats separated. Now all the Family together on the simulator!

EDIT 2:

@Papa_Joe , i found the mod for command seat, worked. sort of. I could start with all seats filled, but some of then jump out from start...

Great progress my friend. Keep us posted.   Looking forward to the engine development.  what you had before looked pretty good, but I'm sure you have ideas in that area as well...

[Climberfx]

Engine gonna take some time, finishing the crew variants, then going to cockpit + intake.

Crew_two almost out of the oven. (with docking port)

Next: Crew_three (convertible)

 

 

 

[Climberfx]

Manage to convert and use all DDS textures, and basically, one 1k square texture will do for a lot of parts. (Same file for seats, crew_one, crew_two, crew_three, fuel tanks, etc.)

 

[Climberfx]

Crew module variants, done.

Next some fuel tanks, then cargo bay, cockpit + intakes.

Fuel tanks getting out of oven. With position to put KAS pump valves, and animated doors. ;P

Some more evolution/parts:

The Fuel Tanks. Will be 3 sizes, this is the large. All 3 sizes in 2 variants, with/without hole in middle to pass Kerbals to.

The fuel volumes (liters) are computed by 3D program precisely, i gave 40% of reduction to compensate structure.

I hope you enjoy

Some new pics:

Some updates in emissive material and normal map (normal still under execution, did seats and sections).

[Climberfx]

New normal maps for the seats. (they are not so normal, but don't say that, they are sensitive)

a pat on the textures and normals...

 

 

 

[Papa_Joe]

Continues to look even more amazing!

[Climberfx]

Thanks Papa. Giving a break this week, need to finish my client's work.

Climberfx, you have been working on this for a long time now, and it really shows through in the quality of the parts. Excellent work; keep it up!

[Mecripp]

Can't wait to get my kerbal hands on this

[Climberfx]

Gonna be soon MeCripp. But this and next month i am in a job that take me all time. so will be giving a break here.

But will be back after that, soon. I may release the parts i have here, since i finish the first version of cockpit.

Cheers!

[HazelPine]

Alright! Can't wait for the parts as well! So many possible uses for these sections, I can't imagine how many more cool stuff could be coming after the base parts are finished!

[Climberfx]

Today i gave me a little time. So, starting Cockpit!
