Thank you all. I made some adjustment in all the bridges but there are bad news: with gmax i cannot map the various parts of the bridge and I think the textures will remain separed for all the objects, so will be very hard to retexture this

. But there is another problem: I'm not sure that Gmax will allow me the lightmapping step, infact I tried the tutorial present in the BC Modding section but some function used in 3DS Max is not present in Gmax. I'm very sorry, but I will not surrender! If anyone has an idea, please help!!!

All in all, fantastic stuff!

Hmm, I wonder if someone here plays Blizzard games and took that little gem to heart...

Are you reorienting the walls around in some of them? Because if I remember correctly, Reliant's turbolift was directly behind the captain's chair...

Picky · « **Reply #88 on:** July 22, 2009, 03:12:06 AM »

Ehm, not exactly... :? The Reliant Bridge is a retexture and reorienting the walls will change also the animations and build new animations will be a very hard work, so it will be a Reliant color scheme and not exactly the Reliant Bridge. As for the Grissom, my bridge uses the same chairs but the original bridge was totally different: no steps, smaller etc... (there are all the schematics on Ex Astris Scientia). My bridge is a TMP generic bridge, but in TSFS we never see the Grissom's Bridge in all his totality, so, if you want, you can call this Grissom's Bridge reimaginated

And less chairs on the Grissom, if EAS was anything to go by, but...I see your point. Fair enough.

Looks good so far man, well done. 8)

Picky · « **Reply #91 on:** July 25, 2009, 02:02:19 PM »

Good news

: I solved the great part of the problems: I am been really lucky and I found the way to render the bridge exporting it using the .NIF conversion. Now I'm mapping it and I also rebuild several parts, as the roof. I will probably post images tomorrow.

Bones · « **Reply #92 on:** July 25, 2009, 05:41:17 PM »

These are great news indeed

can't wait to see the pics
here's a well deserved cookie for you ;)

From my part (LCARS part) I can add I've finished works on those funky-circle-like displays and I have 7 combinations of them, I'll also post basic shape of them tomorrow
I'm planning to make them as generic as possible so they could fit possible future retextures ;)

Bones · « **Reply #93 on:** July 26, 2009, 11:52:52 AM »

Displays Update :
As I promissed here are brand new ST4 displays some of them are reused/updated displays from my Ent-B LCARS, some are brand new and some are mixed.
ST4 bridge displays consists mainly from circled displays and some diagrams that's why I have 9 different styles of them (circle displays)

Picky · « **Reply #94 on:** July 26, 2009, 12:14:51 PM »

Well done, Bones! can't wait to see the other panels! Obviousley cookie...
As promised now I show you my first renders, you will see that I have redone a lot of parts, as the steps and the roof. Now the bridge is fully mapped and I will work on aminated textures (I found a tutorial in the BC modding section).
I hope you will like the new TWOK bridge!

Not sure if this is cannon or not, but the display between the helm and ops(?), shouldn't there not be a status display of (atleast) the shields?

Bones · « **Reply #96 on:** July 26, 2009, 12:42:48 PM »

No, according to bridge plans this is starchart/ navigational map, it became tactical status display on Ent-A tho

Bones · « **Reply #97 on:** July 27, 2009, 09:01:20 AM »

ST4 comm displays are ready, just need to make 5-frames animations like on TWOK displays

pano27 · « **Reply #98 on:** July 27, 2009, 10:48:10 AM »

I kept thinking that the viewscreen was too high, but never mind.

Looking good, but will it actually work ingame?
