So, fixed most of lightmap problems. Gonna put this one to bed for mo to concentrate on animation and my NX revamp. If anyone wants to try out or play around with LMs/textures will upload.

Send it to me. I'll install MPE and do some texture work on it. I'll see if I can't make it look like the Righteous project I was working on. LCARS will have to wait, though.

Fixed....

It looks good. I would suggest bevelling the screens so that they don't look so flat.

i pale yellowness of the walls doesnt feel right somehow... they seem to bright i think? i dunno, it is tough to tell... im just not sure that is the best color for them...

Kirk · « **Reply #28 on:** April 04, 2010, 07:15:55 AM »

By the looks of it, the bridge needs to be entirely relightmapped.

JimmyB76 · « **Reply #29 on:** April 04, 2010, 09:04:10 AM »

ya, unfortunately i have to agree...

Thanks as always for feedback

Always very useful...

B, which screens do you mean?

Jimmy and Kirk, any suggestions on colour? I was just trying yellow as experiment, contrast color with blue/PDW. As for lightmapping, wall shadows not accurate in this version as walls currently floating (export problem to Max 3). I'll fix walls properly when I've done all changes. Vid really just a taster. I think you might have point about illum though. Bridge is lit by single omni (1.0) from dome immediately above centre, so shadows etc accurate. But maybe need to reduce light level?

JimmyB76 · « **Reply #31 on:** April 04, 2010, 11:15:51 AM »

i would say go more grayish for the walls... Post Dominion War (IMO) has a more militant-feel rather than the cozy/comfortable feel from early TNG era...

Thanks

Very useful to know...

The LCARS panels screens. They just look like stickers slapped on at the moment. Recess them!

Since Generations, federation ships now have much moodier lighting. If you wouldn't mind me looking at the model, I could make adjustments to show you what I mean.

Soon as I finish fiddling with it, let you have a look

Lurok91 · « **Reply #37 on:** April 26, 2010, 02:44:11 PM »

Changed main color and still fiddling with lightmaps, tho shadows are accurate. Noticed prob with double-sided transparency (pic 3). Anyone any theories on what causes prob and poss fix?

tiqhud · « **Reply #38 on:** April 26, 2010, 09:20:16 PM »

I think it might be the video mem-being pushed bit far, Ive noticed something similar on many bridges, when [walkfxing around] espacially with High texture bridges, and or ships [if I got them ingame]

hobbs · « **Reply #39 on:** April 27, 2010, 12:25:16 PM »

i'm loving your bridges!

love the transparent displays

i hope its ok to ask...

are these bridges (love the one from st:borg) going to be specific or generic?
also, and i know you are new to these... but what about active displays as in shield status monitor, hull damage, weapons status. (not sure the last ones ever been done) may be have these on the MSD its always seemed like the MSD should show more than it does.

any way awesome work (makes me want to try lol but then i'm not able to texture lol [no programs or skill])
