Ball Cockpit Redux

Ball Cockpit Redux: Electric Boogaloo

This is a revist of one of the first major/actual mods I made 5 years ago when I started this...journey into modding. Original Ball Cockpit Mod here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1206134279

Today marks the 5th year anniversary and I've been planning on doing an update since last year for this mod. I've revamped the original cockpit, I rebuilt a lot of the meshes minus the seat(model an old friend gave me, Entity). I've optimized the mesh, at least better than it was when I first released the mod. I tried fixing the glass to be like it was back then, but nothing I tried worked. I also tried to restore my paintable chrome, but Keen made some changes when they released the block skin system that broke paintable metallic materials. I've also added a B-29 bomber cockpit inspired variant. Also in the pack is a Steampunk Ball Cockpit that is directly inspired by some Crimson Skies concept art I found years ago. I can't remember when I first started that model, it was probably 3-4 years ago, that I remade the majority of the model as well with techniques I've learned over the years. I started modeling a cockpit based on the R-79 Ball from Gundam, it was an experiment with using rounded cubes as a base for a sphere and evolved. I fell in love with it so I decided to include it in this pack as well Due to a suggestion that I enjoyed by Dirt Dickler, I've added Dr. Eggman's Ball Cockpit. Inspiration taken by different Eggmobile cockpits over the years, this is a 3x3x3 cockpit, which makes it a bit smaller than the other cockpits. Last ball cockpit is one that honestly inspired this whole mod 5 years ago: The monopod from Cowboy Bebop. I've tried a handful of times over the years to make this model, the one I've included is far from perfect however I felt that since it is what really inspired this whole mod that I should include it.

Thanks to Enenra for setting up SEUT, which is a blender addon that makes SE modding so much easier. Back when I started learning, exporting mods was honestly a pain. Thanks to Chipstix for groundbreaking work on animations for characters including cockpit poses, without him I couldn't have some of the neater cockpits that I've made. Thanks to Entity again for the original seat model.

Please don't reupload any of my mods. I spend a lot of time on them, what limited time I have, and I'd rather hear feedback than have someone reupload it and try to pass it off as their own.
