If you are going to go with some form of status display, then please consider using BPCore to create a real status display. It involves cutting up the parts (of the texture) that can individually change.

Showin' off the upholstery, oh yeah...
Obviously, it comes from Abram's costume design :-)

For now I'm just trying to figure out what it takes to make a bridge. If it can be done later I'll make it BC-ready :-)

modeling is great! looks good!
there have been a million models made for BC and its potential bridges, but getting them from models to BC bridges is a whole other realm and complexity...

Going back to the old school a little, and bringing out a new idea on sulu's scope, in my own way. Also, the NX had some LCD screens floating around that I liked. Also harkens back to the Cage bridge a little, too.

It would be nicer if they were mounted on the console, to be honest. It kind of looks out of place being mounted from the floor.

Also maybe decrease the size to about 1/4 the size of what they are now. Any displays we usually saw were kinda tiny and unobtrusive. I do like the LCD idea and adding the cooling vents on the back would be an amazing touch. But a 5-7" screen should be the maximum size.

This reminds me of how I need to do something with the A bridge.

I do have cooling vents on the back - as textures. I'll probably remount them on the console, you're right, but I want to try to keep them the same size as they are now. There are going to be a few more LCDs around the bridge, not just there, so ones that are very tiny arent entirely out of place.

just to be whimsical, can you put OH say like a mouse on one of the displays , you plan on putting on the wall. After all it is almost NewYears.

Furyofaseraph · « **Reply #28 on:** December 25, 2008, 08:48:22 AM »

Um...What?

On the little LCD displays, you plan one putting through-out the bridge.

Why not put a little mouse, or car, or airplane on one of them.

I think he's sayin that i should follow the trend that you see in TNG's Lcars... It's cute for a production team, but for a fan following a production team on a gag kinda seems unoriginal. I'd rather throw me own injokes in there.

Barihawk · « **Reply #32 on:** December 25, 2008, 09:39:18 PM »

Agreed. I usually throw jokes or something in mine or do celebrities on dedication plaques if applicable. They are meant to never be seen, even if I tell you where they are in the first place. Like on my TMPBridge, the Engineer's Log sounds like a disgruntled postal employee and recites scorn towards the toilets on C deck. You will never be able to read it but it's there.

then there's DJ's infamous bumperstickers, I still haven't found the one on the Galaxy

Turns out that I have to restart it. I'm afraid I did the math wrong on something and the different panels do not line up seamlessly like I wanted it to. I have since redone the math and come to a new conclusion on some things. Expect new renders soon.

FoaS dude, catch me on msn, and I'll give you some pointers ;)

I await your signing on

Anyone know how big a turbolift is?

I'd guess that if you stood in the middle, you could hold your arms out straight and be brushing the walls, so about 1.5m-2m diameter and 3m or so tall.

Okay folks, One more thing.

I'm looking for accurate or semi-accurate schematics of corridors from the TMP era, as well as the Sovereign-type corridors. I have plenty of screenshots, but I'm looking for good blueprints of things.
