Skylab 1973 rebuild

[n72.75]

We have this right now. The airlock is highly detailed.

As I understand the VC camera points would be in the mda area and OWS. BUT not every switch,.....

Then the Control display which has alots of switches,.... make this just a texture?

If I were going to add clickable switches, to a bunch of panels like that, I would probably load switch meshes with the vessel code, rather than making the mesh contain a huge amount of identical meshgroups. I think you're fine with the texture.

I made the CD console a texture. This is what I get for frame rate.
This is using a hi def OWS and airlock.
Now the OWS is

Here is a test HD. It has the hd airlock and OWS. The OWS is still in the works.

in the scn you can change the solar panels from 1 single solar panel, 1A single panel but broken panel on the other side. or 2 panels.
The VC uses w/s to move based on the mouse view.

How? Not sure if this is needed?

I never knew I would eventually see what would Skylab look like with its two main solar arrays intact! But would it mean that its micrometeoroid shield would be still in place too?

 

[gattispilot]

This is the bike.

any frame rate issues? I think on the OWS i can combine meshes and retexture. Like the lights.

Skylab looks very good - Great work!
How does one move through the workshop?
Also I seem to be having issues with the EVA guys when I try and lift their visors.

 

[gattispilot]

Thanks. Frame rate issue?

In the VC use w/s forward/back and aim with the mouse.

I will need to update the code.

Also can you post the scn so I can check

 

[moonheart]

OK - so the w/s works - thanks! Here's the EVA scen - it could be my system - it's not the most robust.

 

[gattispilot]

Oh the visor w/s side visor 1/2 main center 3/4 flap the flap was up. I may need to add if center flap retracted then no flap

 

[gattispilot]

More interior added the bike and shower.

 

[gattispilot]

More lower floor I redid the lights and seem to help

 

[gattispilot]

Frame rate 252. Added the Condensate module.

Still got to add thing to the 2nd floor.

I am not sure to just just VC locations or use the w/s move around.

 

[gattispilot]

I redid the Mass body measurement device. Added boxes. I thing all that is left on the 2nd floor is the AMSU trainer and the foot restraint trainer.

Really it is a mixture of launch state and in orbit.

 

[gattispilot]

SKYLAB ASMU:

Maneuvering Unit, Automatically Stabilized, Skylab | National Air and Space Museum

airandspace.si.edu

More mesh parts.

I guess gold in color

I can make the ASMU as a vessel so a guy could fly around outside of Skylab. Same for the other?

 

[gattispilot]

On the AMSU on launch it looks like the arms are facing the outer wall and upside down. I can make the launch state and then and in orbit where it is flipped. Any thoughts?

I need to add the battery, on the bottom. The bottom area needs reworked.,.....

 

[gattispilot]

Where we are at and where to go?
functional external mesh/vessel. Animation of ATM, EVA Airlock, 2 solar panels.
Anything else?

On the VC/Interior. I have the the Airlock, Most of the OWS. I am thinking of having a launch mesh and orbit mesh.
In the orbit launch have a food tray around the table. AMSU set up,......

Still need to look at STL and MDA.

Any thoughts?

 

[gattispilot]

Added the Hand control device which is stowed on the AMSU. This is the launch stowed position

 

[gattispilot]

Ok. now we have the skylab at launch. It had 5 food storage units and the AMSU stored

in orbit the AMSU is ready for testing. A suit is there and a food tray

Was the real one that evenly lit? Maybe some more pre-baked shading (textures) could create a better depth perception, when looking inside it.
