Danube class interior

[Barihawk]

looks good tho id recommend sticking to one colour scheme for the lcars and displays, at the min they look a bit of pick and mix 

otherwise excellent work

They are a bit of pick and mix
I just don't have the time to do entirely mine lcars panels from scratch so I photoshoped
together what I found on the net. Some of the color schemes don't mix all that well, I'll need
to do something about that, but it can wait until everything is done and I get to the nitpcik
stage

Don't worry, it isn't hard at all. LCARS.com or LCARSdevoloper.net have a color guide that you can use in conjunction with photoshop to make masterful panels! .

looks great

LCARS.com or LCARSdevoloper.net

hmm - well LCARS.com seems to be about french cars, and LCARSdeveloper.net is a dead page lol

common mistake, it is actually http://www.lcarscom.net/

That's where I got most of the reference for the work done so far.

I was just wondering, has anyone ever experimented with multiple viewscreens?
The runabout has some windows in the back of the craft, and it would be very cool if I could have a secondary viewscreen behind them. Of course, to make the whole thing feel right the rear viewscreen would have to be "locked" to aft view at all times - I'm not sure if this is possible.
If it can't be done, I'll just have the windows "closed", but if someone has any knowledge about this I'd be interested to hear about it.

as far as im aware, its not possible to have more than one viewscreen...

If you have more than one viewscreen, max will consider them as a single object and project the viewscreen along all the extension of the meshes.
This will cause errors and depending on how they are set, crashes.
I hardly recommend that.

As for the view locked, Bridge plugin has a script to make the viewscreen to work like forward windos, locked up to front.
I know Mleo scripted it, though we never really used it so far.

Thanks for the info Legacy! Guess the rear windows will need to be shut - I'll make up something similar to what the side windows have. I'm happy to hear that the viewscreen can be locked to forward view, though, as the runabout doesn't really have a viewscreen, just forward windows.

Ok, I decided that Sean was right so I re-worked and finished the lcars panels. This time I paid more attention to where I'm putting each panel, so now if you look at the science station, you'll see sensor scans and analiyses, at the engineering station you'll see engineering readouts for a danube class vessel, at the helm you'll see helm controls.. I also tried to make the color palettes of the panels consistent to each other. Hope you like the results.
edit: as before, on some renders certain chairs are hidden to allow better view of the panels.

Very nice work indeed.... weldone!!   8)

[Nebula]

[Legacy]

looks much better, can tell some time went into that, amazed how such a small change of colouring improves the entire mesh take you time with it and dont rush through it and the rest will be of the same high quality that were seeing now

SUPERB! brilliant work, I take my hat off to your sir on a job well done

[cordanilus]

That's absolutely amazing!   Wow.

[admiral homer]

Which is the pic of the real set and the model i cant tell. Awsome job cant wait to see the final product its going to be amazing. Nice work

[newman]

..I really should be doing real, paying work right now, but I just can't tear myself away, this is too much fun
Anyway, I textured the corridor with the modules access behind the cockpit. It's a part of the ship there doesn't seem to be much reference material for. I managed to find some drawings/cutaways and I used them for reference. Hope you people like it.

[cpthooker]

very nice

Jebus...damn thats nice work matey
