Hey guys, I’m trying to add a part similar to the MK2 Lander Can rover variant and I’ve just finished the modelling process.

However, I have a lot of doubts as to how UV wrap it so that it’ll be compatible with the game. For example, how does window lighting work for parts and how should I do it so that the windows light up properly.

Also, how can I manage to map it so that it’ll be compatible with the color manager tool? And where can I get textures similar to those used in-game?

There is a general description of how the part textures work here:

For ksp2, I wrote an HDRP shadergraph you could probably use to set up your materials. It won't look quite the same in HDRP, but it'll at least help check if the textures are packed correctly.
The window lighting is just an emissive map on the window object that gets turned on/off by the game using a material property.

KSP2 Part Texturing - Discussion & Resources

Although I'm holding off on modding proper until we get some more official modding support, curiosity got the better of me and I have started poking at the game to figure out texturing & asset creation techniques for part modding in the future. I thought it would be worth creating a thread fo...

I mean, if you just want to see a preview of the textured part, the KSP2 Unity Tools part shader does that

That'll get it close enough to check the UVs, yeah.

I do have a question tho.

I should first UV wrap everything in blender and then go to Unity with the mapping already done but without any of the textures right?

#

yeah, that sounds about right

#

you model and unwrap the part, since the UV map is saved to the mesh file

#

then you can put that into Unity, and separately also start texturing
