Do exist good images of these ones?

Not brilliant I'm affraid, there might be enough info looking through the following;

[url=http://images.jsc.nasa.gov/search/search.cgi?selections=STS30&browsepage=Go&submit.x=11&submit.y=11&submit=submit]
Mission STS-30 Magellan[/url]

Mission STS-34 Galileo

Mission STS-41 Ulysses

The good news is that decent models for all three I.U.S (Inertial Upper Stage) "launch" versions of Magellan, Galileo and Ulysses are already available. I reckon just some minor detailing to the payload bay is all that is necessary.

regards,
TERRIER

PS
The Boeing site may have some images which may help also.

Giorgio,

Cool... As I don't have Big VT... it's very pleasant to see the model in situation...

Tx.

Bye

ElChristou,

really cute your Atlantis!

Tx, wait to see your bacchanal...

Yes...bloody great job!

regards...bh.

Well done ElChristou, you've done a marvelous job with Atlantis, I love the detail.

Those "strange shadows" on the wings are just where the mesh isn't quite even. Light at a very low angle will show even the smallest amount deviation on the surface. If your soft doesn't have some kind of smoothing tool then leave it as it is. Don't go and redo the entire body again.

Great job. I can't wait to see the flight deck.

Thanks

No in fact it's no a problem of smothing... I have to much vertices in that zone, conbinated with a little plane zone at the junction between fuselage and wings... I will try to solve this with more time.

Ah, my appologies ElChristou,

I've only done a little modelling and it looked like the effect of one of "my" uneven surfaces.

My mistake, sorry.

Don't worry, there is no problem... I'm the first in notice the wrong things on models... I will try to solve all this...

Quite incredible, the Atlantis logo doesn't lose resolution when zooming in

That's because lettering can be modelled.

Speaking of which, do you have the Nasalization font type ElChristou ?
Very handy for doing some "retro" space shuttles.

Terrier,

Tx for the link... Can be usefull.

EDIT: I will and the "NASA" with this font on the side of the shuttle...

Bye

ElChristou,

Yeah, it's a real fwuffy bunny wabbit of a model.

Nah, seriously, it's very good...and if I may point you to Jack Higgins Website, he's made available to everyone, the ULTIMATE NASA logo in 3ds.

cheers,
TERRIER

Hello, again

Sundog point me on a little problem of vertices on the left side of the shuttle, so I fix it, and as nobody saw a little problem of normals, I fix this too... Also I have reduced the cmod file from 19,1mo to 5,7mo... So if you want, you can download again the preliminary craft...

EDIT: for the download like, see further in the Thread...

I'm now checking the Nasa sites for images for the payload bay...

Bye

Nice... will be implemented on next release.

NOTE: I will give all the respectives credits for logos, perhaps part of models et, in the "official release"...

Seems the arm hasn't been used in the Magellan mission ... I will look for a mission with arm...

EDIT:
idem for Galileo... still diging...
