Beginnings of a lil launch site.

Parachute snoot @ZSPD. There shouldn't be a gap there what did you do 😭

Goodness no

totally not drawn on with permanent marker cause his eyeballs didn't render ...yes

Only Cool Cats climb with Pegasus I Mobility Enhancers KSA-Brand Vertical Ascension Devices™️

Totes, probably a lander can first (and more descent stage hardware) - give you guys some better building options :)

Blockout of a launch escape system, designed to slot over the common 1m parachute nose cover that suits both the current two seater capsule, and the upcoming 1m single kitten capsule.

Finished snoots and shroud diffuse and normals, PBR shaders next.

Of course, that's on the cards. I'll get these merged / endcapped nosecones released first, and use the same geo for the red petal ones that'll be hollow and more cylindrical at the base (ala the Black Arrow rocket) that opens like a clam.

Finishing off the whole range of interstage adaptors, new nosecones, aeroshrouds for smaller SRBs and (yet to be designed) half meter engines. Trying to work out a way to design livery and rollmarker paint that looks good, but doesn't overlap with the fuel tank textures. Bit tricky. Any...

Finishing off the latest part textures; sometimes they import a little flat so pays to iterate in-game until things look right :) Updated textures should be in-game with the new decouplers and fuel lines.

Whoops, neglected you guys for a bit, sorry bout that 😓 Got some finished bay parts, frost maps, and decouplers in the mix! The frost maps (courtesy of Max and his magic shader work) control the application of a visual effect depicting surface ice covering very cold parts. This is currently...

First set done! Only two height variants at this stage, will expand em if needed :) Based off my OG Universal Storage designs, they'll sit in a little mounting truss i'll finish tomorrow, and socket into the service module bays (or radially without it?). Cryo hydrogen on the left, cryo oxygen...

Little writeup is live on the site - plus an animated preview of the new service modules and resolved blocked out bay parts. Tried to be fancy and merge them all into a single turntable but came across quite busy. Might do them standalone, or just wait till they're in the game properly :)...

Sticking with some checkers for now, and introducing a bit of red on the lip of the doors. This was (on the original Gemini) around the umbilical capsule connector and other greebles, so not really 1:1 but I think it adds a little bit more visual interest :) Few SM corrugation variants too...

Thought I'd do a material pass on the capsule before I went into the PBR texture authoring on the new service modules, so they're all consistent :)

New foil, and almost there with the diffuse pass!

Sorry, mistyped that. 3m is our largest diameter so far; I'd like to go upwards to 4m, 6m, 8m. Just don't want to jump too far ahead until we know what scale we're settling on for gameplay and challenge reasons :)
