3d Modelling Support

[Delrey]

I think I can help out with 3d modelling. I read that solidworks can be used to make ksp parts. I have it and am pretty good with it.

If I can be of any assistance to any of you let me know.

Since solidworks is a parametric modeller, you'll need to export your designs in something like .stl in order to get a usable mesh to pass in to Unity. That being said, it will be difficult for you to get consistent outputs if you start including curves/circles in your designs, since solidworks will arbitrarily decide how to convert them into polygons. For instance if you want to make a part match up with the standard 24 sided cylinder of a 1.25m part, you're best to actually draw that as 24 lines (I think there's an operation that can auto do this for you).

Good Luck

Yeah that's what I read. Obviously I would need to know the details of what people need but I'm willing to hel if I can.

In that case you may wish to look at this thread that was made recently by someone with a similar goal to you: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/108740-Moddler-looking-to-make-parts

There's a fair few ideas in there. Also it would be a good idea to post some of your past work so other modders can see the kind of things you can make. That may draw up more interest in your offer.
