Something I threw together

[Nighthawk]

a bridge sketch wannabe I started to build in my spare time.
in case you wonder:

1- it's full from scratch
2- yes, it's the Generations chair.
3- yes, that's like the Son'a viewscreen.
4- yes, it will be released
5- I don't know when. when it's done.

hmm interesting

[startrekw_george]

you could make this into the enterprise-F's bridge.

[Billz]

Any chance of you making a Son'a variant of this? Like you said, it is very similer to that bridge. Looks awesome so far though.

[Vortex]

When I first saw this my reaction was

*Moan* "Not another sov bridge"

Then i saw the other screenies and it goes something like this:

 :shock: :shock:

AWESOME!!!

it's an eeeeeeeearly TNG bridge. (pre-Galaxy layout, Ambassador soul and some Excelsior remnants)
I'll let DJ think who will do it or how.

hardly. I just merged this for fun, I'm not used to do bridges.

If you ever get the whole model and textures done, contact me and i'll give you the basics on LM and porting.

that will come in handy.
my weak point are the animations, but I think I can figure them out.
for porting I have nifskope (would need to add the nodes, tho)
what do you need for LM, besides VRay?

I'm handling the option of a late TNG bridge for, say, a light cruiser like the Saber or Steamrunner
I'll post some pics with color variants and some re-arrangements of the structure.

For LM you'll need any version of 3ds max after 5.
vray is optional, we use it to make the thing look better.

I did these ones with AC3D and povray.
I thought povray was a crap, but looks usefull. at least, the shading look fine.
(I have Max 9, btw.)

i like the middle one, red chairs and grey floor the best.  Excellent work man. 

I'm a decent hand with photoshop.  if you ever need any texturing help let me know.

you know what i just realized this could be?  A post-nemesis Akira class.  Could also be the Enterprise F.

[Nighthawk]

textures won't be much of a problem. maybe the LCARS and the pannels. I do need some help with the MSDs, tho.

opinions on these variants for TNG?

[bsilver2988]

what's the difference?  i still like the red chairs better

[Nighthawk]

I added more floor around tactics and the turbolift doors are further back.
I'll make the early tng model with some consoles at the sides, and the late tng with consoles at the back and turbolifts at the side.

fits for an Akira?

[Captain Serek]

Very nice work, I look forward to it's completion.

HELP, any bridge maker....!!!
can anyone port a sitting body from the .nif to .3ds/.obj for me?
it's for the scaling.

[bsilver2988]

[JimmyB76]

very nice!!  fits an Akira well!

[MickJo]

Great progress Nighthawk, it certainly works well as the Akira Bridge.

Good to see you around again as well, Sean.
