Oh cool.

Small texture update:

Furyofaseraph · « **Reply #41 on:** June 11, 2009, 12:23:53 PM »

hey yopyop,

your stairs seem a little steep. It looks like a person would trip when they try to move there foot from the 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd step.

Shino Tenshi · « **Reply #42 on:** June 11, 2009, 12:43:38 PM »

hm... It seems that it's just the middle step that should be removed. 3 seems too much.

Furyofaseraph · « **Reply #43 on:** June 11, 2009, 12:51:38 PM »

Yeah, I use two steps myself. The bottom of the pit is at -0.6 meters, step one is -0.4 meters, step 2 is at -0.2 meters, and then the main floor is at 0.

Update.
Textures almost done. (only the video-cube and the "pool-table" are missing.)

Dalek · « **Reply #45 on:** June 11, 2009, 03:35:15 PM »

Lookin' good! Can't wait to see a TNG version (or someone to mess around with it in such a manner

).

Shino Tenshi · « **Reply #46 on:** June 11, 2009, 05:25:30 PM »

Okay, "Pool-table" and video-cube done.

Nebula · « **Reply #47 on:** June 11, 2009, 05:31:00 PM »

hmm I still think that "video-cube" needs to be black with a red border....

Darkthunder · « **Reply #48 on:** June 11, 2009, 05:36:07 PM »

I could be mistaken... but since there are no chairs around that pooltable area, would it not be prudent to have the table somewhat higher to be more appropriate for people at standing level?

Also, on the pooltable you have what looks like that "chronometer" area from the TOS Connie bridge. Looks quite a bit out of place when it's in the middle of the entire console, instead of being part of a specialized area for it.

Shino Tenshi · « **Reply #49 on:** June 11, 2009, 05:53:22 PM »

The table is high enough for a standing person, perspective might be decisive. ;)
Oh, and wasn't that thing used for navigaton?

That was probably the original idea of it. But since it was hardly ever used, its tough to say what its true function was.

Might be better to replace it with something that measures enviromental levels. Its a starbase OPS room so its bound to have an enviromental readout for the living quarters and general areas of the starbase somewhere

.

Shino Tenshi · « **Reply #51 on:** June 11, 2009, 06:36:21 PM »

Okay, I will replace it with another screen. ;)

Kirk · « **Reply #52 on:** June 11, 2009, 11:17:06 PM »

I like what you did with the table, and the "cube," but I still think the large displays need a major rework.

Shino Tenshi · « **Reply #53 on:** June 12, 2009, 02:47:28 AM »

I might atleast replace some of the space-objects shown in those displays with some actual information, like on the table.

-Edit: Okay, I changed the table. What do you think?

Shino Tenshi · « **Reply #54 on:** June 13, 2009, 02:08:26 PM »

Okay, hm.. Textures are done.
What's next? Lightmapping right?
Meh.. I'll go get max and try it xD

-Edit: Okay, here's another quick render for you. (the first one I did in max, yay )

captain_obvious · « **Reply #55 on:** June 13, 2009, 02:14:08 PM »

A tad niff naff triv perhaps, but the text saying "incoming transmission" seems out of place. All the other text is in the old '60s style font where as that one screen looks '80s amiga-ish.
And what about the screen that says "stand by"? I assume that would be some kind of library computer interface. Perhaps it would be better to have it say "standing by" or "ready for query" or something? At the moment it's almost as if it's an autocue for the commander!

Grand work so far mind you

Shino Tenshi · « **Reply #56 on:** June 13, 2009, 07:54:35 PM »

I get you about the library, but I don't get what you mean with the "amigaish style".. it's the same font as on th other screens.

-Edit: What do you think of my first attempt at lighting her up?

Billz · « **Reply #57 on:** June 13, 2009, 08:04:44 PM »

Gene Roddenberry would be proud of you.

I think that pretty much sums up how much I like this OPS center.

Shino Tenshi · « **Reply #58 on:** June 13, 2009, 10:06:26 PM »

Thanks!

-Edit: Okay, I got her ingame and the textures and teh mesh are working. But the lightmaps are not.
Do I have to link them to mesh or something before exporting? (btw.: I made the lightmaps in 3dsmax but exported tzhe model with Milkshape.) Any help would be appreciated. :lol:

-Edit 2: Ah, silly me. I know it now. But now I have another Problem: Is there a *.nif exporter for 3dsmax? Well of course there should be one, but where do I get it?

-Edit 3: Yeah great. -.-'' I found one for 3dsmax 9 and below.... but I have 11 -.-

I fear you specifically need Max 3.1 to export bridges to BC.
