loving it!!
how does it look at red alert?

Haven't got that far yet

These are just Max renders. Have to think about that one...

Looks like a bridge from the Olympic class. Early USS Pasteur??

in all honesty, i could picture the overhead light as well as the vertical white lights turning red, and horizontal flashing red alert signals on the side-stations and back station (sort of like on the nova bridge)...

I can see connection. As for red alert, def thinking centrelight and consoleredbars. Columns was more thinking dimming like Defiant and Nem Sov, but all up for grabs when get ingame

I suggest not making the whole center light go red. Maybe just the outer edge, not the center of it.

Agreed on the outer edge, think that would look great.

Really like the whole shape, especially the recess in the back of the bridge, a nice touch.

The helm console looks blocky to me, something more reminiscent of the Defiant helm, the basic shape of it, would fit the rest of the design.

The access hatches (at least i think that is what they are) above the side work stations could use a bit of toning down, Like the shape but maybe flatten them down about half. something to consider.

Just an awesome job so far on all of these bridges.

I agree about a Defiant-ish conn.

lightmapped VentureTMP and Akira ingame. Made minor changes to both bridges.

Akira: slightly reduced size of bridge, removed front turbos (seemed defunct). Like changes so will stay. Initial lightmapping perhaps a tad dark (this is normal state so red alert would be very dark) but again quite like look/feel.

Venture: moved turbodoors from sides to rear and Science and XO to sides. Think works better and makes more lineage from TMP to TNG.

LOVE IT!!! well done can't wait for these!

I like the front of the Akira bridge, cool idea!

JimmyB76 · « **Reply #172 on:** January 14, 2012, 09:32:53 PM »

ya that is awesome! especially if those little lights blink at red alert

They do. Same as on Intrepid/Voyager bridge.

Here's Venture with new red alert WIP. Was trying similar idea to NemBridge by keeping animated lcars but changing to red lightmap at alert. Looks nice ingame but should let testers have final say.

Venture and NemBridge more or less done. Akira still needs anim work. Once I get Valkyrie/Type9/Flyer feedbacks all in (Jimmy and Nero, that's you

) and those ready for release, I'll get Venture and NemBridge ready for testing.

I was browsing the bridges and uniform mods because of a beta,, and I'd like to ask Lurok something.

is there a note somewhere in one of your threads about the Character sets you're using? I'd like to get some alt faces and Characters for variety.

Lurok91 · « **Reply #175 on:** January 16, 2012, 04:47:10 AM »

KCS - you might mean this?

Here's Akira at red alert. Also experimenting with red map swap like Venture.

King Class Scout · « **Reply #176 on:** January 16, 2012, 08:45:51 AM »

More or less. I skimmed the whole thread. looks like it's been dead a while, though.

I'd settle for the new Bodies, personally. I'd try some tweaking, myself, but I hear you have to have Max 3 for them to work.

I'm glad I have a bridge retex under my belt at least.

Lurok91 · « **Reply #177 on:** January 17, 2012, 05:19:51 AM »

Well I last posted in it about a month ago, and that's only because completed initial phase and back to working on bridges. The new crews/uniforms all ready and done and might post out for betatest soon, so let me know if want to be one of those.

You only need Max 3 to export nif, but I've also found it easier to rig biped and skin in Max 3 as well.

FarShot · « **Reply #178 on:** January 17, 2012, 05:21:50 AM »

If I'm going to have to look at a fat and stretched Saffi, I might as well look at your version.

I'd like to beta, if you don't mind.
