Nebula Bridge Retexture - Romulan Warbird Bridge
« on: December 10, 2008, 05:58:58 PM »
I was watching DS9 today and it was the episode "The Die Is Cast" I noticed the Warbird bridge is none other than a redress of the Saratoga/Nebula bridge as can be seen in the bridge layouts below.. who'd like to see a Warbird bridge retexture?

I'm definately curious what you come up with

actually you are about 6 years too late.  Bridge god Viper did that exact bridge years ago.  unfortunately it was buggy and never updated with the rest of the bridges.  not to mention that it apparently no longer exists. So if you can do it, go right ahead.

ive merged the thread that was just made into the other one that was already there, since they are both about the same thing...

as far as the retexture, not bad at all - i like what youve done :)

Hmmm, I would look more closely at screen caps and the picture you posted above to get more canon lcars. Right now, these lcars look more like greener TMP lcars than romulan.

well to be honest they aren't just Greener TMP ICARS i tried to make em look a lil different (so it wasn't as obvious )

But to be honest I always found that the Romulan ICARS tended to look like a cross between greener TMP ICARS and TNG/DS9 era Klingon ICARS

for some reason you never ever got a decentlook at em, not even in The Die is Cast OR in Nemesis, in Nemesis its mostly Reman..which for some reason seems to be completely different

but apart from that...what you think?

I don't wan't to offend you but you're all wrong I must say :( ...
these displays look completely wrong, if you wan't really good retexture you should try to make all new displays, romulan style displays as they were more trapezoid squared shapes, they had sharp edges and were green with some white/faint yellow and pinkish accents.
Check out some Elite Force 2 materials, there should be some examples on EF2Files.com... there is even Sovereign bridge retexture with really good Romulan displays from EF2 tho they're low res.

As for now it look promising but displays ruins it.

not good at making full new displays..but if someone else can i'd be happy (its the low res nebula I retextured for ICARS placement reference )

though I like the large Romulan crest instead of a MSD..it seems more in keeping with the Romulans plus an MSD ties it to one class of ship..this can be used for any Romulan Ship

yeah I agree with both of ya, crest looks cool at the back and MSD kinda suits for Feds the best IMO...

If I had time I'd offer my help in making new romulan displays but since I'm unable to finish my projects not to mention starting new ;) pity cuz I like the idea of this retexture... we don't get many non Fed stuff when it comes to bridge modding these days  :)

what I do..when it comes to Alien bridges..is look at the tv shows and see how they redesign current bridges..like you could make a decent Klingon bridge from retexturing the defiant bridge or eventhe galor bridge..because The Klingon Bridge in the Voyager episode where they meet the klingons who believe B'Elannas daughter is the chosen one.they actually use parts of the defiant bridge..they just refit it with klingon Icars and lighting so it could be done as a retexture (I know its being done as a new bridge too..but an alternative klingon bridge..maybe it could be a d7/K'tinga bridge )

i mean thts why I used the nebula..it was used as a set in the series as a romulan

the ST3 klingon bridge could maybe be a cardassian bridge..or maybe the ambassador as the galor..or..it would take massive work but the NX bridge (it has lots of exposed struts n stuff like ds9's ops ) or even the tos bridge

I doubt a Jem Hadar bridge wll ever be done though

I don't think the problem is your use of the nebula bridge, the similarities are obvious enough. The problem with the retexture is that the lcars do not have a distinct romulan feel and, as I pointed out, are easily recognized as being recolored TMP lcars.

Here's some reference about romulan LCARS (of how they call their LCARS):

I'll also send you some interface screenies from Klingon Academy as reference.
