Thanks Fluffy, yes, I am trying to get back into the swing of things again, with the end goal of releasing to Pioneer.

I am trying to get the texture style right, sort of space shuttle look and feel, and then back port to the Deneb and Venturestar

This is what 100 thin thrusters looks like ;)





I could probably reduce this count slightly and get the same effect if there are performance issues.

Finally got the gear animation to export correctly so it shows in Pioneer, Mod file here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AijcoWthgqA0i9MZQKJ0z6oVhnpm7g

What are the .sgm models that are in there? is that a new format?

Thanks, I have been trying to keep most of the model as sleek and plain as possible so thought I would do something different with the thruster plumes. And yes the docking collar retracts under a cover where landing gear retracted. After a lit of investigation, I have found out why the animations ar...

Wow, almost a year since I last looked at this last. Anyway, i have made a few more tweaks to this ship recently. still very WIP and lots of things that are now broken after my changes (the the landing gear animations for one.) http://zordey.com/Documents/Pioneer/2018-01-19_13-38-47.png http://zorde...

yes thanks impaktor, lots of good feedback, and yes, starting to investigate the normal maps have highlighted an issue with my UV unwrap which is a minor setback but better finding out now rather than later :)

Howdy, wow cant believe its been over 2 years since I looked at this. I have made a few (quite a few actually) changes and have re-UV unwrapped the model and got it nice a square. I thought I would make a quick video to get feedback. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-mEq-QJBZc&feature=youtu.be S...

Having a tunnel through the cargo bay to get in and out would severely cut down the already tiny cargo hold.

I had just assumed an opening cockpit like a fighter jet but after reading the link of impaktor's I may try and put in some sort of hatch right behind the cockpit area for docking.

Hi nozmajner, The center thing at the rear is just a shape really following the curves of the top and fitting between the engines. It does look a little too much like a hatch now you mention it but that was not really the intention. Maybe a place for a rear gun turret eventually? I have just been tr...

Hi all, I actually got the chance to sit down for a few hours over the last couple of nights and got to start some work on this little ship that @nozmajner helped me draw up (several months ago). It is a small, one person, atmospheric capable craft Excuse the poor image quality and child like doodli...
