I was working on a few things, might give someone some ideas.
« on: August 18, 2007, 01:06:38 PM »
Hey guys,
Thanks for the clarification on the other thread. Just thought I might post these and see if anyone gets any ideas from them. The uniforms are kitbashes and retextures of various Sims2 models. and the bridge is my own from the ground up (except the chairs). If anyone wants to take some ideas for BC, feel free.

Uniforms
Basically what I was trying to do here was breath new life into the First Contact uniform by taking the same approach Nick Meyer did in the wrath of khan. Make it more military. I've added some side-trim (inspired by Elite Force Instructor uniforms), added some shoulder flashes. I brought back the cuff ranks to go in tandem with the collar ranks. I also brought back the Length-of-Service bars around the right upper arm.

Line officer, and Flag officer duty uniforms


Optional Long Coat, Standard Duty Uniform, and Bomber Jacket


Alternate Duty Uniform


Now, the uniforms drifted so far from conventional Star Trek that I have considered (and probably will) just make my own universe with these in them, due to the fact they they don't really seem to fit trek all that well. Nonetheless, if you guys get any ideas from it, feel free.

I agree with Legacy Using the Sims 2 Meshes was a good idea

Thank you.
There is a LOT of content for sims2, and the models aren't bad for their poly-count. Naturally I thought it wise to just use them instead of reinventing the wheel again. (oh how i love that analogy).
I never thought of them as a Post-ENT, Pre-TOS uniform, but I suppose it could fit. Does this mean you happen to like them?

awsome quality. good work.
IMHO, it fits for the lost era, between TMP and TNG.

very nice. i think they would be great 25th centuary uniforms. if you were to refine it a bit and go into greater detail then i think you would have the perfect uniform mod.

Beautiful uniforms, definitely look like a progression from TMP to TNG uniform styling. I loved all the accessorising they did in TWOK.

I think they do fit trek quite well. They could also make a good mirror version of the nemesis uniform

Unfortunately for you, the TMP uniforms lasted until just before The Next Generation launched. This can be seen by Janeway's flashbacks to the cardassian war, the corpses on the Pegasus, and various other throwbacks.

However, those are amazing uniforms.

Not to mention the enterprise c and the stargazer. I still think they would make great 25th century uniforms

these are great uniforms, I never really liked the whole "jumpsuit" look that next gen adopted and I will always miss the TWOK style uniform more than any other.

  I hope these uniforms come out...I will adopt them as my main uniform whenever I play.

If nothing else, they can be associated with Terran Empire uniforms, since after defeating Worf, Smiley and the others probably would have set their own emperor in place.

Yeah, with a few changes those would make awesome new Terran Empire Uniforms.  They go right in with Terran Empire tradition of full military dress.  Especially the one with the coat, that looks awesome.  Only thing they would really need is decorations, as the officers of the empire allways displayed their commendations and awards.

And what would those look like if you changed the black on the tops to Starfleet Burgandy out of curiosity?
