[Flightgear-devel] NASA 3D Models

2010-09-12 Thread Jon S. Berndt
Can these be converted to the format that FlightGear uses - particularly the
crawler, the VAB, and the launch complex - as well as the launch vehicle
models?

What a coincidence! I discovered those models just yesterday!

I managed to open the Shuttle model in Blender, so I guess it would be
possible to have them exported to Flightgear.

BTW, here's the link to the site:

2010-09-12 Thread Gijs de Rooy

I got the shuttle into FlightGear a long time ago: 
http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=32000#p32000
FlightGear can read .3ds files directly IRC, so does Blender (then export to 
.ac). Blender also opens .obj, so the Crawler
shouldn't be a problem either.


Cheers,

Trivial task - about 30 secs work - here's one I did earlier in AC3D format

Rather too many vertices perhaps ... 

I'll do the crawler

Reading the NASA guidelines it seems to be compatible with GPL, so I put
the VAB is in git in Models/Structures. Do you have any plans for it?

The crawler is more difficult - I have converted it but at 141,000 vertices
I think it's too heavy. I'll see what can be done.

Not for the VAB, so much, but to launch things from KSC the launch pad is
needed. :-)

And the Ares-1 vehicle would be nice, too. I'll try and look over my model
to make sure there is no sensitive stuff in there and I may place the model
in JSBSim CVS.
