Request Artemis landers

[gattispilot]

Need to find a good orange foil texture.

But resizing it. I guess since we are going with the image. The name and feather are gone. Just white foil on the top sides?

 

[Spaceman 3D]

Think they'll still put white blankets over the LH2 tank

 

[gamer19]

my mistake

Think they'll still put white blankets over the LH2 tank

Note that there's often a difference between commercial 3D renders (where they put clearly visible logos) and actual flight hardware.

Please note the textures of "gold textures !!!.zip" have watermarks and are probably copyrighted.
Better use free textures, for example from Freepik, also mentioned here.

 

[gattispilot]

Yes. Just need to find a good orange or red foil one

 

[N_Molson]

You can also change the 'tint' of the texture you already have using an image editor (adjust RGB levels so that it is more 'orange-copper').

 

[francisdrake]

I tried to make a tint-shift into a redish-brown. Maybe not fully satisfying.
You can try yourself, texture is in the attached zip-file.

 

[gattispilot]

I wonder if the landing gear is yellow or orange

 

[francisdrake]

I think the landing legs will also be covered by MLI insulation foil, much like the Apollo LEM.
Maybe with the exemption of the moving joints.

No joy trying to ad that texture in 2016

 

[gattispilot]

So I get this. Still need to retexture things.
I wonder about the space between the top section and the top of the ring. In the 3d drawings it is covered. I guess I can put a gold foil cylinder in there?

landing gear

 

[gattispilot]

scaled her to the correct size and add a silver foil object to the area open

 

[gattispilot]

Newest lander. landing gear not animated as yet.

 

[gattispilot]

Updated mesh and landing gear work.
Thanks to @francisdrake for textures,....

 

[francisdrake]

Hi, "mk1.4.zip" is missing the Mesh folder.

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks. here is has the mesh

Incoming!
The white ring and struts definitely add realism to the lander.

For information:
In the right-hand picture a metal-shader was invoked, by adding a "_metal.dds" texture to the gold texture.
While this adds stronger reflections, it also reflects the blackness of space very strongly.
This leads to dark appearance of the textures. I personally like the original yellow-gold textures better.

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks. Now to get her on the NG. I have seen the mission is going to be called Endurance.
I think she works in Open Orbiter also

It is probably possible to improve things with a reflection map, AFAIR these are supported.
