Began preliminary texture work an hour or so ago. There's not much to show at this point, but I think you may be able to tell where I'm going with this.

Dude... that looks really cool so far!

Johnnymuffintop · « **Reply #2 on:** May 20, 2009, 10:31:31 PM »

Nice, not much tweaking to that and it'd be the JJ bridge.

Cookie for spotting my intentions! ;)

And an update to the light pole before bed.

SAWEET!
Anyway, looking great, shit need to be brighter, but that's not the texture, it's the bridge itself.
Btw, this may help some, it's the panorama of the bridge (flattened out), with some modding in photoshop, it be perfect.

I wanted to do it myself. Unfortunately, I don't have photoshop and I'm stuck with the laptop and need a mouse to be as accurate as I want to be.

Kirk · « **Reply #5 on:** May 21, 2009, 09:34:50 AM »

Don't worry, I will be viewing the panorama views a lot. As for the bridge brightness, I've just lowered the ambiance to show off the new lights. Ok, here's another update, worked on some more lights.

Also, feel free to provide any c&c.

Kirk · « **Reply #6 on:** May 21, 2009, 11:27:23 AM »

Made new ceiling lights and added them as light sources. Now only the lights I have finished are emitting light. (This is going to be a pain to make look right in BC.)

Frack Kirky boy, instant cookie.

Kirk · « **Reply #8 on:** May 21, 2009, 12:00:36 PM »

Thanks Prime! I did a little more work, as you guys can see, I'm a bit anal about details.

Aeries · « **Reply #9 on:** May 21, 2009, 12:08:56 PM »

Nothing wrong with Ana... I mean... nice work! xD

Hey Kirky boy, did you add the blur to the white lights in PS or is that some sort of volumetric setting of some sort in Max? PLEASE tell me; I've been trying for the life of me to try to get material glows in max to behave like volumetric lights...

Villain · « **Reply #10 on:** May 21, 2009, 12:41:29 PM »

I can tell you in Lightwave all you do is tick a box and up the textures lum, but... ;)

I've gotta say this, I actually really, really like the current light setting, even if it's not what you're going to be using

Kirk · « **Reply #11 on:** May 21, 2009, 12:46:39 PM »

I may use it for red alert, but I still have yet to add in the lights under the captain's chair as well as the lights above each console.

Barihawk · « **Reply #12 on:** May 21, 2009, 01:37:30 PM »

So I think Kirk is going to contribute a lot to these contests

.

I wouldn't mind seeing some regular Trek bridges get these kinds of lighting overhauls. Makes me wish I could model worth a damn.

Kirk · « **Reply #13 on:** May 21, 2009, 02:01:24 PM »

The only things I changed model wise were the removal of the overhead supports and light dome, and separating the main dome so I could assign it a reflective material. So, no real modeling skills are required, just a lot of patience/ sacrifice when it comes time to getting this bridge into BC.

Jb06 · « **Reply #14 on:** May 21, 2009, 03:47:37 PM »

Lookin great kirk ;) I'm guessin you have Max 3.1 then?

Bones · « **Reply #15 on:** May 21, 2009, 03:58:00 PM »

I like the idea of clean ceiling without any of those dome-trashes-things, I think most challenging here will be adding ... lens flares

j/k but yeah LCARS shall be uber-difficult to make as there is almost no reference on them and from what I've seen they were plain blue displays with some waves, diagrams on it so I guess you'll have to be creative ;) keep it up

Kirk · « **Reply #16 on:** May 21, 2009, 05:59:51 PM »

More from me, stared adding in more lights. I'll need to make a proper carpet texture soon.

Darkthunder · « **Reply #17 on:** May 21, 2009, 06:35:44 PM »

The entire bridge needs to be brightened up quite a bit. Looks good thus far thou.

Johnnymuffintop · « **Reply #18 on:** May 22, 2009, 05:09:29 AM »

For the LCARS, just photoshop some of the panorama, or at least use it's helm and conn.
For the rest, just wing it, using the official sites interface as a guide.

Mark · « **Reply #19 on:** May 22, 2009, 06:54:14 AM »

I like what youve done here, but the light bloom adds a lot to the look of the bridge which is something you wont have in Bridge Commander...
