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!

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

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

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

Regards...bh.

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!

regards
TERRIER

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?

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.
