are the maps animated? or just static?

Bones · « **Reply #61 on:** July 17, 2009, 02:20:54 PM »

they are animated (standard 5 frames) ... at least most of them as I don't see real need to animate damage control displays (green schematics of the ship) as they were static all the time in the movie, same goes with top communications display it's also been static in movies.

i was jus curious

Bones · « **Reply #63 on:** July 17, 2009, 07:08:41 PM »

well they're animated at least from my part ;) I hope Picky will put some anims to those displays ;)

Aye, same here... well most of us prefer anims ;) I know cuz early TMP Miranda bridge was a bust mainly because of static displays

JimmyB76 · « **Reply #67 on:** July 18, 2009, 03:13:31 PM »

not only that, but it is nice to see a bridge seem "active" as such; rather than wallpaper...
thats just my own personal preference tho...

Yeah I was consumed by swapable LCARS back then but it wasn't so good afterall without anims

also I guess I failed to pick overall design for early TMP bridge ;)

oh btw Jimmy, if there is another thing that seemedwrong in the first place i'd like to know for future TMP projects... since i have brand new animated maps I'd like to use them ;)
sooo I would appreciate c&c

Don't worry the displays will be animated! :mrgreen:
I have also rebuild the front consolle and moved and adapted the textures of the keypads.
I build also the loading screen, you can see it in the final screenshot, computer modified.

Maybe I have an idea for the lightmaps: in Gmax there is the possibility to create a texture on a different channel, using a different map (not diffuse color but ambient color, for example) is that the way :?:

You've been watching TMP again, haven't you? The "test screen" display is a nice touch. I take it that will be the "loading screen" (i.e. if you're using this bridge and starting another quick battle; I notice some of the displays are holodeck grids, images, etc.)?

I always loved the old wireframe stuff they had in those movies. Reminds me of an old 3d tanks game I had when I used to have a mac.

Gotta agree, it's a very nice touch!

badass man, really coming together nice. cant wait to get it when its ready. swweeeeeeettttttttttttt.

Picky · « **Reply #76 on:** July 20, 2009, 12:42:52 PM »

Great news: the TWOK bridge is proceeding and I have other two versions to show you: the Reliant retexture (I know, the Reliant's bridge should be a little different: one door, different panels, etc, but the main structure is very similar) and generic version (this should like to Barihawk!

).
The Reliant is more light blue and has the black and orange seats while the generic has the Grissom's pink seats, I hope you will like these!

Bones · « **Reply #77 on:** July 20, 2009, 03:28:19 PM »

OH MAAAAN :shock:

I'm in love... you are awesome, I'm almost done with the rest of the displays btw.

now when you're making miranda type bridge I can recolor certain displays from green to blue as they appeard in TWOK ;)

Oh, Lordy Lordy, I think I've died and gone to Heaven...*now drooling like Niagara Falls*
