Metallic textures

[Altaïr]

Here is my attempt at making better textures. A drawback of many texture packs is that the colors don't look natural, and the fact that they are matte makes them look quite flat.

I tried to correct this:

The rocket on the left is colored with a matte color, the rocket on the right is the one I made. It was made using a gradient that helps rendering the perspective better, especially for cylindric or conic objects.

Here is the full set of colors I propose:

You will notice that I also made a black one. It's also slightly better than the existing one in terms of rendering.

Thanks to this, you can make all sorts of artistic rockets:

Note that those rockets are by me, and as my artistic skills are usually close to 0, I'm sure you can do better than this

Now if you prefer to make cringe rockets, be reassured, this is totally possible!


Enjoy

Well, I hope this is good, because it looks good.

And by good I mean PERFECT. This looks so good!

Now I can make red rockets just because of this awesome mod!
Thanks Altair!

The colors look really good, but here's a suggestion.

I feel like the orange looks a bit yellow. I know there's already a orange texture in the game, but it looks quite grainy. I would just love for there to be a cleaner orange texture. Thanks!

Mmh yes, I could make it a bit more orange, especially that as is it's not very different from the ocher color (the one that follows). I'll make an update.

Honestly on my side I wondered why nobody did it before
Feel free to make your own of course, if people are willing to improve my idea or push it further they are welcome.

Nice textures, reminds me of a crayon's wax look ngl

Okay.
My way of doing it was editing the main metal and making it other colours such as making it gold or making it slightly blueish, in Microsoft PowerPoint.
(you can see them in my texture pack)

Please first make sure you installed it correctly (see here).
If it still doesn't work, then can you please give me more details about how it failed: did you get an error message? Does it show in the mod loader section?

Well, once I launched game after I loaded this texture pack, it was a error message saying: "Failed to load:SpaceflightSimulator/Mods/Custom/Texture Packs/MetalicTextures"

So does that mean I just need Shadow Textures and Shape Textures, cuz they are missing for me?

Those folders are empty, but it's surprising that you don't have them. Could you please share a screenshot of your Metallic textures folder to see if I can spot something unusual?

I have no idea to be honest. I tried removing the Shadow and Shape textures folder, but this doesn't prevent the game from loading the mod (actually it recreates them) so it's not even the problem. Do you have issues with other mods/parts packs/texture packs? Just in case can you please check your game version? What's the version number? You'll see it in the lower right corner when you launch the game.

Latest one, 1.5.9.15

 

[Altaïr]

Latest one, 1.5.9.15

Ah, there is your problem. I assume you mean 1.5.9.8 though, since there's no 1.5.9.15 version. Please update your game. You only have to launch Steam, the update is automatic.
