Thanks Markyd. Haha, you guys crack me up. I'm glad you like it so much! :3

After a CRAP TON of farting around [pardon the pun. xD] I've finally gotten the HUD overlay to kinda/sorta work. Now if only I could figure out if Photoshop has a symmetry modifier like 3ds Max, I might be able to add these other details to it that I've made... girr! Oh, I've also made another set for the helm/ops. I still have to make some changes and make another lower level for the floor [kinda like the Prometheus' helm/ops station] then re-map and remake the carpet... it's gonna be freaking sweet!

Mental Ray is love.

I think we need a jaw dropping smiley...That. Is. Beautiful. Words cannot describe how awesome that is. Perhaps moar cookiez will suffice... :)

I figured it out no worries. :P

Added more details and recoloured the HUD so it matches the rest of the LCARS better. :]

I'm going to need to hire some cookies cutters and buy a much bigger oven. I really cannot wait for the tactical display. xD

Haha, thanks guys! OH! I forgot about this update... I made a new carpet [Kinda had to...] and made the indent into the floor for Helm/Ops. Still gotta reduce the reflectivity of a lot of the surfaces. Also got some more done on the viewscreen LCARS HUD.

Looks nice mate, not sure about the grey on the carpet though, that repeating pattern kinda looks off..  the HUD looks great  8)

The grey was supposed to look like brushed metal... kinda failed on that one though, lol. :P

Got working on the MSD. Gotta tweak/rework the map a bit though and mellow out all the reflections in the scene by a bit.

Oh, to save people counting, that's 19 decks technically 18 if you don't count the empty space at the very bottom of the secondary hull. :]

Lemme know what you think! [the empty spaces won't be so empty for long.]

Dat is PURDY. :D

Edit: Just noticed: Do you have the LCARS font? Then it'll be like a proper LCARS screen. And also make it U.S.S. not USS. Much neater and accurate :)
