Heavy HST model ready to optimization

[orion_nebula]

Hi, I have a BIG model of the HST (9,54 Mb). This beautiful model makes that Celestia performs like an slideshow (2/5 fps.)

I will try to optimize and texturize it, there's a hard work to do.






Regards.

WOW, keep working on it. it looks very good!

[Darkmiss]

Wow I'm impressed.
did you model every nut and bolt

[JackHiggins]

Fantastic!! Can't wait to see it in 3d...

I have 'Endeavour' with your previous model...fantastic. Really good work Orion...

A tip on how to optimize an 3D model that uses cylinders: I don't know which 3D program you use but, for cylinders I recommend to set the Latitudal setting to 1 and the Longitudal setting to 24 or more. This will give you an nice low-res cylinder. This should improve the FPS since the HST is mostly cylindrical in shape.

Regards and nice model

Today Saturday I've worked a bit on the model, I've added the solar panel textures and I've working also on the size optimization.

Orion Nebula, your HST is very very beautiful , but I think that the solar panels are not of the correct size .
In the image of the real HST you put as a link, where the solar panels are opened along the HST length, it's evident that their length is close to the full HST length, while in your screenshots they seem very shorter .
Am I right, or it's a sigth angle problem ?
Thank you for your job .

Andrea,

The large solar cell arrays were replaced by smaller, more efficient arrays in March of last year, during STS-109, the most recent HST servicing mission (3B). See http://spaceflightnow.com/shuttle/sts109/020304fd4/
and http://hubble.nasa.gov/servicing-missions/sm3b.html

Here's a picture of HST before it was released


and afterward

This is a real shame, 'cos I'd really like to download the ISS models.

Hi, TERRIER: 'course i've get(got?) them (for little screenshots in my catalogue-ISS work-in-progress page). My install is personnalized (ie: all the files are organized in a same directory/subdirectories, because lot of these superb models use same textures) but i must have the original 12 zips somewhere. (And the old 'Complete 2006 ISS' One, but the fabulous Bh complete Model w Endeavour is more acurate, isn't it?)
How can i send you those?
Do not someone (Bh?) try a ISS-central page like the Shuttle one? It would be great.

No worries at the moment, I'll wait and see if they become 'available' again.

I have bh's final ISS / Endeavour model and should the ISS models not appear, I could do my own progressive ISS models from this.
Then to save me a job, all I'd need is the ssc's if someone could e-mail me them!

TERRIER...I have this model with the old style rads...I must get my shuttle page in order but I've been waiting for orion's finished mods!

I really need to work on the new Mir model.

Many regards...bh.

OK. But if it can help i've loaded the Orion ISS-11A stage 3ds model in this directory:http://jeam.tag.free.fr/CELESTIAhtml/tmp/ISS-evolution(.ssc)/ I add the .ssc files too.

hi orion_nebula! I would really like to have your HST model, but I only get URL errors. How can I get it?

[bh]

Orion seems to have gone missing for the time being...He did a 'light' version of this model which I may put up on my shuttle page...when I get some free time!

Regards...bh.
