Various retexture ideas (UPDATED additions)
« on: March 14, 2009, 04:10:03 PM »
Possibly my last contribution for a while but hope it inspires as others have inspired me here (Barihawk, etc).  If anyone wants to develop further, happy to send files.   These are bridges I wanted but lack of original models. 

Akira -  retex of GalRefit
25C generic cruiser - retex of Gal
TNG era generic 'large' bridge (bigger than Ambassador, smaller than Galaxy). Retex of Excel refit
BoP -  retex of Defiant (closest to Rotarran; originally did a Galor retex which works, but this is closer)
Vorcha - retext of NX bridge;  again, thought industrial look very Klingon.
Reman -  retex of Nebula (had closest bridge layout)

anyway, just some ideas....

From what my dim tablet can display, those look really neat!

It's nice to be someone's inspiration. In that spirit, WANT.

Also, tell me what you'd like to do with them and I will be happy to finish them up for you under your name.

B...not sure what want done.  Like I said, just wanted to inspire.  But if sufficient demand/interest, I'd be happy to send files to anyone who wants to clean them up/package them for posting.

Lurok, you've inspired me.
I'm thinking of doing a retexture of the Ent-A bridge to resemble the new Enterprise bridge...
just need to get photoshop on this new computer.

I'd rather use a TMP bridge for that.

my suggestion for the akira bridge dome - i dont know if purple-ish suits an akira... 
akira is a torp machine, and im not sure thats the best color for the bridge dome...
i'd think something more militant, or a color that matches better with the brown tones on the bridge...
just a brief first impression :)

That Defiant bridge retexture is really the only one that caught my eye. I like the others aswell but not as much as those new Defiant bridge textures.

PS: Its a shame you are not allowed to publicly release those uniform retextures for the EF2 crew models. They are looking cool. Would be better if those uniforms were worked on a bit more though.
Can't wait for 2014 to start.

Thanks as always for all feedback.   I knew the akira dome was a little radical, but unless you try new ideas everything stays predictable.  I'll play around with colour and post here. Any further suggestions welcome.  Also added a minor retex of the CTU Rom bridge upgraded to Norexan/Valdore.  Bridge was pretty good to start, but I never liked the multitudinous dark green lcars, so lightened them and scaled back.    Plus another Defiant/Rotarran pic for Billz

Nothing wrong with the TMP era Klingon bridge, but these are nice.

The only thin that 'urked' me about that Defiant retexture is that there is alot of wasted space on those consoles.

I know what you mean, but I prefer more minimal look generally. And I tried to keep the Rotarran look fairly canon.  Obviously the defiant helm is pretty big space as well to fill.   I feel prob with quite a lot of TNG bridges is overloaded with lcars. But I digress...

Here's updated AkiraBridge with the disliked violet dome removed.

Now, I know you've said its gone, but theres still pink on the dome.
"To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received."
