USS Relativity bridge

[Excal_Luke]

:lol: Intercepter I got to had it to you. You got MAD skillzz. Looking awsome. Now hurry up and finish it

That gave me smile ear to ear - thanks.

This is the bridge that I always hated. Mainly because of the whole haphazard shape of it and that fact that it had a transpoter on it in a random place for time travel really bugged me. You'd think that a ship from the future would have a more symetrical bridge.

But dont take this as an offence, as I am liking the quality of work that has gone into this project and will definatly download it when its finished.

You've gotta admit though, that who ever designed this bridge for the Voyager episode, failed to put effort into it.

Ive allways liked the bridge, its a damn hard thing to model, ill admit, but i think that because of it not being symetric made it stand out for me. But i respect your opinion.

Ive started texturing the tcars in the briefing room, they're just about done.
Does anyone think they can whip up a dedication plaque for me, or i could 'borrow'' one from google image search.

[Cpt.Draven]

I did the stealing for you

[Darkthunder]

While your plaque looks pretty good Cpt. Draven, it's not entirely accurate:

LEFT COLUMN:
Wells-Class Timeship
Starfleet Registry NCV-474439-G
Seventh Ship To Bear the Name
United Federation of Planets
University of Copernicus

RIGHT COLUMN:
Temporal Integrity Commission
---- Can't make out the names, but there is 8th of them

"The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen all at once." --- E.M Rauch

However, the quote used on the plaque was actually said by Albert Einstein and was actually:

"The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once." --- A. Einstein

Ok... Now your trying to hurt my feelings. Well fair enough. But At least he was refered as to useing the qoute once or twice in his life time. And from my understanding it at least some what relates to the startrek series even Even if it was Albert Einstein Who made the qoute. But The rest lookd decent.. right?

[Darkthunder]

Well, yea the plaque itself looks really good. Except perhaps that you should give the text some shadow effects ;)

Other then that, it's just a matter of adjusting the text on the plaque

And I didn't mean to offend or hurt anyones feelings in the previous post I made. Just giving some constructive critisism on the matter.

[Cpt.Draven]

Ok I will remake it. Do you think I should go ahead and make Mr. Albert as the qouter or should I leave that part alone since the startrek database says that it was rouch? I think it would be unique if It I gave credit to the orignal qouter... what do you think?

[Darkthunder]

Indeed... but truth be told, it's you that's making the plaque. So ultimately whatever you decide i'm sure will turn out good. Just giving some helpful input on the project ;)

[Cpt.Draven]

Alright. Almost done... what do you all think so far?

[Cpt.Draven]

Ok... now am stuck... dont know what to put over in the right colom.  :?

[cordanilus]

Well, the first I would suggest is "Adm G. Roddenberry"

The rest is up to you, you can use the shows producer name as that's what they did for a lot of the plaques on the show.  BTW, the plaque is looking good.

As far as I can see, there are 2 rows of names, each shows rank and name.  Like the one above.  You should check out the plaques Rob made over at BCS.  They're really good.

You may have to register first though.

Keep up the good work.

[Cpt.Draven]

Alright.. here we go... finished... i think

[Cpt.Draven]

 :arms: Oh if you wish to have the name of the other qouter heres this version. Only difference is that this one has Rauch as the qouter

[Excal_Luke]

I gotta hand it to you Draven, nice work,thanks very much, and i'd be more than happy to use it in the bridge.

- I think ill have Rauch as the quoter, just to stay cannon to the show.
 Thanks again Draven - they look ACE !!

[Cpt.Draven]

Yeah you can use it. Thats what its there for. Been Searching around and so far its the only one of its type accept for the picture of the orignal from the show. Other then that... that plaque is the closes to the orginal there is at the moment. Just dont for get to throw some credit my way  :lol: 8)

[Excal_Luke]

Just dont for get to throw some credit my way

Yea, Thats no problem. Thanks again ;)
Heres an update :
Ive created another texture for the Work stations at the side of the bridge.
Ive redone the transporter area.
Dedication plaque - texture courtesy of Capt. Draven :roll: ;)
enjoy.

[Cpt.Draven]

WOOT! Looks awsome. I was looking at your computer station, at the blue lights right above... are you going to give it a curved look or weve look instead of being a stright angle?

Example ^

[Excal_Luke]

Are you going to give it a curved look or weve look instead of being a stright angle?

Done it, but i might change it a bit more, Anywho, now that texturing is just about finished (if you lot are happy with it) Ive moved on to some lighting, here is what i think red alert should be like.
That display around the main viewscreen will be an animated texture BTW.

P.S, how do i add more materials. ie: When you press 'M' in 3DS Max, the material editor pops up, and there are 24 or so maps? (the grey spheres at the top of the material editor window) - how do i add more of them?
thanks.

[intrepid90]

wow thats....
AWESOME
fantastic work
but I don't have any knowledge about this, so I can't help you with your question

[BCDS]

Wow, Nice job, very good quality. Screw these people moaning about the LCARS, i'm sure when you get around to doing it properly, you'll make them worthy of the model.

Really nice.

[Cpt.Draven]

Damn... wow... that looks pretty damn awsome. Looks like its missing somthing though. Dont know what it is but it looks like it. I was lookinging at some of the pictures... in 3DMax along with some of the real shots from the show... I dont know crap about 3dmax. But is possible to make or give the impression that some of the panels are giving off light? if you look in some of the pictures around the computer stations and transporter, the walls look almost bluish green becuse of the reflection. Might look neat if you do that... give it some depth. Other then that... looks awsome... post some picture
