My Bridge Sketches and Art
« on: February 24, 2008, 06:43:09 PM »

Here is a little something that I finally had to do.

I give you my take on what I see as what the bridge of the Titan
might look like.

I have gone with a blending of the Ent-D and Ent-E Bridges with a little
Of Voyagers.


Also they have described in the novels that the Bridge does have a slope
from the upper to the lower sections. I left the describe railing on the
upper section off.


While creating this I also decided to create the I.S.S version for my Dark
Mirror Universe fans.

*Note* This is by no means the official design, unless the powers that be
Over at Simon & Schuster or even CBS decide to adopt it.

Hint, Hint Marco...

Enjoy.





P.S. I will correcting the USS Titan Moto shortly it has been pointed out to me that i used the incorrect one. But I am
going to keep my I.S.S. Versions though.

DUDE!
I was thinking of the EXACT SAME THING the other day, for the Mithra!!!!
This bridge should TOTALLY do this bridge for BC!

-Aeries.

Edit: No, I'm not joking either. All the basic elements are the same... kinda creepy. Though don't you think this would be more suited for the Bridges forum? Just a thought. ;)

Well thats definitely what i would have said the bridge would look like very similar to the galaxy refit 3rd era recently released probably wouldn't take much to re texture and modify the model as opposed to starting from scratch but then again my modding experience is virtually non existent.

However i also believe thats the first Imperial bridge we've seen since TOS so that would effectively set the standard in mirror bridge textures which are cool.

although Dr Tourangeau isnt Titan's plaque the vulcan IDIC Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations? :P

I will be fixing that shortly, but the Imperial moto will stay as it is.

Wow, lovely bridge, seems like Riker would be right at home there.  Now, if only we had a Titan for this bridge. >_>

WOW this looks really interesting. We do have Generations Ent-D and Nem Sov bridge thanks to 3rd Era, If there would be someone who could edit ent-d bridge and replace helm consoles chairs and add some pillars we would have all new shiny bridge :D
If you need help with texturing such bridge when model is ready, count me in :D

You mean a better design than the so called official one? lol
But I do love the design of this bridge :)

No. I mean a Titan. There was, once upon a time, a Titan being produced for BC somewhere in the modding forums. It hasn't been completed yet, so far as I know... and I don't know what people don't like about it... I like the Titan. Anyways, back on topic...

I do love the way the different bridges kinda mold together here into a single, really futuristic design. It looks great, and I can totally picture it as a bridge we'd see in a movie. :) Looks great.

the only thing is, who will be able to build it?
the 3rd era team are not taking requests, and this is more or less a request for it to be built i take it?

It's actually not that hard, as I said somebody would have to port sov pillars, chairs and consoles and voila the rest(texturing) I could handle myself :D

ya think? lol :P

as I said somebody would have to port sov pillars, chairs and consoles and voila
somehow i think it would involve more than just that...  of course, Mark would know...
porting all those things onto the Gen Gal Bridge, i dunno - it just seems like that would be a huge deal...
that, of course, would be the only way to do it...  unless a whole new bridge was to be built from scratch, but that within itself would be a major deal too...

Here are my next bridge designs.  Since I had a few requests to a full Galaxy Class Refit design, here they are.

I give you the Command Decks of the I.S.S. Enterprise from the Dark Mirror Universe,
And the U.S.S. Challenger Commanded by Geordie Laforge.

I like the last one a lot.

Edit: Maybe, if you're inclined, you could try leaving out the consoles around the captain's chair and on the sides of tactical on the normal version of the Galaxy refit.  It makes the bridge look a little cluttered, but works great on the mirror bridge, where you'd expect extra "starship bling."

It's unfortunate that I've got so much going in life right now as it is; I can barely keep my mind on the Mithra. Otherwise, I would be perfectly willing to take on one of these bridges as my first bridge/max project. I don't imagine it would be TOO hard to get portions of other bridge models into the generations galaxy bridge... I think the main trick would be animating everything. I don't know that much about it yet, but from what i hear, that's where the real challenge comes in. :/

In any case, I'd be hyped if the Titan bridge in particular got started. It really does look just as I'd imagined the Mithra. then again, the two are extremely similar, so... :P

Best luck to you!

You know, the refit Galaxy bridge could work as the bridge for the Venture in my series.  There's a line in the first story that reads:

Quote
Though it was similar to the standard bridge used on Galaxy-class ships, there were many refinements and enhancements done to it as part of the last refit, including upgrades of the consoles, chairs, computer systems, and some stylistic changes to bring the Venture more in line with the newest vessels in Starfleet.

Just could use a couple tweaks, but then again, it'd be the Venture bridge, not the Challenger's bridge.
