WIPs - Akira & VentureTMP

[Bren]

Haha! Awesome!

I love the addition of the lens flares! It just wouldn't be complete without them, would it?

[Lurok91]

big thank you to those who supported bridge WIP in 2010 

[Lurok91]

Was just curious to see how Sean's v4 Defiant looked ingame, seeing as 90 per cent done bar animations and fixes.  Had to readjust axis to match the current v3 defiant nif.   From pics can see obvious changes,  and anims that need to change.  Bridge is less wide and richer darker colours.  Obvious model adjustments (helm, consoles, chairs etc).  Once anims and other fixes done for this, should be easily applied to Sao Paulo variant.

Alright Lurok, for getting this bridge in-game you're officially my new God 

*cookied*

[Shadowknight1]

Ah, now THAT'S more like it!

[Billz]

The helm console is still too big, but otherwise, it'll be great to have a new updated Defiant bridge! 

[Bren]

Looks fine to me??

If you were to tweak anything, I'd say you should tweak the light fittings in the pillars between the crew stations. In the show, the lights were flush with the pillars, not inflated out like in Sean's model.

It's still a MASSIVE, HUGE, GINORMOUS improvement over the previous Defiant bridge model!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, BTW!
And thank you graciously for all the lovely gifts, Lurok!

It's too big? *looks* I can't see that it is?

i think its just the camera angle, i think it looks fine. IF you look at the current defiant bridge that we have, now thats a huge helm. i was thinking it looks small lol

[Morgan]

Don't listen to any nitpicking Lurok - this is a great set and if you can get into BC you'll have so much gratitude from the community it won't even be funny.

It may be angle.  This helm def a lot smaller, canon.

Lights always bugged me on v3 model but assumed was canon.  You're right - from screencaps more flush than these look.  But v4 less pronounced. And toning down illumination may help.  I'll post new bridge pics later. 

[Lurok91]

So resized lights, now as flush as can make. Having strange lightmap issue with captain console stand and bars under cap chair and helm (have to check with Sean).  Apart from that, principal anims done.   Have to redo extras so now move to back to Defiant.   Then red alert state.

[JimmyB76]

love it!   

[Shadowknight1]

Looks great!

[Picky]

Very realistic! Unfortunately I have seen only few episodes of DS9, but this seems to be the more realistic bridge of BC.

just a quick anecdote on the canon lighting:
Did you know that they never installed proper red alert/cloaked lighting on the set?  The original plans called for the lights to stay the same all the time but it was decided later to change them when at red alert/cloaking for effect.  whenever we see the lights change on the defiant on TV, any dimming effect was done in post, then they would cut and replace all the lightbulbs on the set.

lol

  Reminds me of Red Dwarf.

Lurok, excellent work on Sean's model!

Current WIPs:  NX revamp at beta stage; if testers ok, then just needs season variants to do.   Valdore ingame ok and just needs finishing off but sort of kicked into long grass for mo (unless I get mobbed by Rommie fans  )

Next up:  started Delta Flyer and can probably have done within a month.  Planning at moment to do all interior, i.e, both cockpit and rear cabin.   

Considering two other 'bridges'  based on Wiley's recent  creations - a fighter cockpit for Valkyrie, and cabin for Sovereign yacht. Please feel free to state any preferences as will give me idea of interest.  Valkyrie would be single-seater Type9 interior variant with all crew off-bridge (could do pretty quickly from my existing shuttle interior models),   yacht probably a Runabout/Defiant hybrid in style.   I assume there's no canon bridge sets for either craft?   But any links for reference material welcome
