TIL about NTO TVC. SMH o_O Seriously though there's sooo much engineering out there to learn; that's a very unique approach. Totally forgot about the Titan sets

Some gloooww.

Just tidied up the emissive maps, did a few turntables, and now the SRB's are pretty much done. Did a bit of a writeup on Ahwoo re: the tech in general; have a read here :) https://ahwoo.com/news/9918289/kitten-space-agency/segmented-solids Now to break them all up again, whack them in a...

Argh so much cool stuff out there, love it. Don't know how I missed that - I'll def take inspo for the smaller landing legs :D

Yeah should be easy as just modelling another foot with the same ball and socket joint :) Didn't mention it earlier, but I've also done a small pass on the metallic fuel tank PBR and normal maps, giving them more depth. Should catch the light and transmit spec a little better in-game.

Parts progress for the month of Febuary! Alongside a big push to get IVA implemented, we have a handful of new parts.... To make building a little easier; we have a series of modular low-profile structural plates. These are constructed around a central "node" system where the actual...

He deserves much more than a polaroid - but as a starting point why not :D Bound to be a lot more objects like that built over time to populate IVA spaces, I was going to do a few plushies and cat toys and things, but have much more pressing priorities now 💪

Lights on! Doing some tests with the environmental light turned down (as it would be in space) and populating the IVA with spot and point lights. Looking forward to what the [REDACTED] team are going to do with it 🕵️‍♂️

Thankyou all :D I do love how it looked with the first Ambient Occlusion bake, don't think I've shared those pics yet Texturing continues! 💪

A little tumble of my last week of solid IVA work - we have a fully unwrapped and consolidated capsule interior, AO baked, 90% textured, almost there! New upholstery (I am so sorry 😭, racing stripes were two decades out) alongside fully finished chairs, internal assets (joysticks, throttles...

The joysticks and throttles are subparts you can put anywhere - depending on what the character animators need\want they'll probably change places :)

Thankyou :D Forgot to attach this video - everything is designed for ejection seats to work but it might not be implemented for a while. Just getting the groundwork done for as many gameplay elements as possible, doesn't hurt to think ahead :)

Morning all! Just a little update on what I've been chugging away on in January. Nothing "finished" yet (these are big chunks of work) but my in-progress WIP images get buried in Discord so often, I need get into the habit of posting more here. As we want to eventually get kittens actually...

Getting a glow-up! Experiencing heat is one of the big dramas of spaceflight - whether it's a boiling plasma cloud around a capsule on re-entry, the glow of a heatshield, or propulsive thrust of an engine during ascent. We're endeavouring to embrace all of this (controlled) chaos in KSA...

Someone with eagle eyes should be able to spot a sneaky decal Hunter left there himself 👀

Our third engine (fourth? Are SRB's engines?)! This is an interpretation of the descent propulsion system found on the Apollo LEM, later developed into the upper stage vacuum optimized Delta TR-201. These engines were claimed to be the most technically complicated examples of engineering in the...

First ever computer I used was a Mac Classic II, learning how to type in primary school at age 7 or so. Managed to save the very same machine from the dump when I ran into the old Deputy Principal and asked what ever happened to them. Since then the capacitors have started to go and it can...

Damn y'all 👀

Hrm, throws a spanner in my plans hah. Fair enough :P Will see what our in-house aerospace engineer thinks of it, and how we should approach gameplay. More thrust on already (traditionally in KSP) very powerful sepatrons would be a little over the top 🤔

There are bound to be consequences to using the wrong nozzle in the wrong situation - but not sure things would explode hah. Just fizzle out earlier, or give you less efficiency or thrust perhaps. Early days to work all that out, but we've got the parts to experiment now :)
