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.

well..the TMP corridors were similar to TNG ones as in 5 and 6 they used Next Generation corridors for the TMP ships, though they tended to use the more angled corridors..the kinda hexagonal shaped ones with some pipes n stuff overhead

Well, i see the geometry of it, but I'm looking for any sort of schematics that anyone might have, Especially when it comes to doorways, and and anything with a scale.

Wow - ressurecting an old thread.

I have a new version in the works - this time I plan on it being a rather modular TMP bridge system. Example - I just finished up the floor objects. These can be swapped about to make different modules.

Mostly everything on the walls and what not will be done as 30-degree panels. The roof will be like the floor and just be swappable objects. Railings will also be segmented into 30 degree parts so you can rotate them and have them sit perfectly.


EDIT:
Does anyone have a good shot of the excelsior bridge? specifically I am looking for the set of support struts with the triangular cut outs.

Thanks Neb :-).

I got all three support pylons modelled, and I have a decent railing system in place (though, it lacks the stands, but thats next). Please ignore the colors, as I have color-coded them for my own use for the time being.

btw, where is everyone?

hopefully this one will get past the model phase and all the other phases it takes to get a working bridge ingame...
hundreds of bridge models have been built for BC in the past 6 or 7 years, but they never really get further than that...

My TMP bridge has moved into the game just have to figure out how to move the crew positions so they are sitting in their seats.

Well, as I've said - I know next to nothing about conversion to BC, so :-/. But, I plan on distributing the raw MAX file so that people can do what they please with the sets, including convert it to BC.

Sounds good, but thats at least a few days away. I still have loads of parts to make, and texturing to do.

Got a cieling done - next is the TMP-style cieling.

EDIT: Added TMP-style cieling.

thank you thank you :-).

Here's a shot of the TMP-style console. I'm actually going to lean more towards TWOK as far as layout of panels go Reason being, I don't want to have to have shapes cross over between the pie-pieces.

EDIT: I tihnk I'm going to redo that panel, it looks like the hooded display areas aren't wide enough.

Second Edit: Added the render of the new TMP/TWOK-style wall pie-slice. It looks better and its so much cleaner. I'm anal about verts lining up and the last version bothered me.

Third Edit: TMP Viewscreen, Turbolift, and Tactical Station

Bump plus another render. The TMP-Styled stuff is just about done. Yes, its not canon, but since when have I restricted myself to canon  :D

Chairs - so far. A little poly intensive at the moment, but I'm going to be running down the counts much as I can.

Edit: finished the line of chairs.

Those are among the best chair models i've seen actually. They may be a little on the "high" poly side, but I don't care. Those chairs look great as they are.
