Forget the challenge ;) It's gorgeous ! I was thinking about something ;) looking at STIII Excelsior bridge, it's not that radicaly different from TOS bridge (base for the set was TOS bridge) they even kept the displays and keyboards

What? Really?!

Yes, If you look closer, it's the same size, it has TOS keypads covered with black glass to make it look modern, displays were replaced with TMP Connie bridge displays, also covered with black glass, chairs were replaced as well as helm/navi console and turbolift alcove is slightly wider (also the bridge might be leveled differently)

Basic shape and size is the same ;)

Shadowknight,

Take a look toward the monitors and keyboard on the right side. I never knew.
So the original Excelsior Bridge has TOS components. The new one is TMP. Hmm. Interesting.

Thanks to Bones the Reliant now has a full set of textures. Couple of mapping errors and I will look at getting this back into Max 3 for exporting and beta testing. He has also sent we a replacement texture for the TWOK bridge so that will also be getting an update sortly.

Given the TWOK bridge a TMP make over. This time the improved consoles are build directly onto the wall so there are no gaps and the weapons console as be totally rebuilt to match the actual set. I will kit bash it to upgrade the TWOK and Miranda bridges.

Excellent work so far.

Awesome work Baz, great improvement over previous version

You can expect updated set of displays (complete set this time

) later today, I'm uploading it to dropbox right now ;)

Very nice! Awesome work

Other than removing the stencils from the lift doors, I'm ready to light map this beast.

Beautiful!

Are you lightmapping with VRAY?

And as you rebuilt the wall consoles, does that mean you've got all those graphics on fewer tga maps?

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #274 on:** March 06, 2014, 10:26:10 PM »

Looking good baz, as always.

Yes will be light mapping with vray like the TWOK bridge. I have altered the textures number, the animated displays are unchanged. The static displays are all on one map, all the keyboards another and the wall and rest of consoles are another. Still a little more house keeping to do to tidy the other mapping up.

Lurok91 · « **Reply #276 on:** March 07, 2014, 04:43:06 AM »

Cool

. I just figured if you were able to reduce the actual number of maps you could have larger rez anim maps (1024+) without bogging down game engine

.

Just curious: are you going to revamp your TWOK and Reliant bridges? (I have both running very nicely, but like I said, curious...)

Bones · « **Reply #277 on:** March 07, 2014, 05:26:59 AM »

I can't wait to transfer ST4 textures to this updated set

considering all displays are ready, just need anims, the rest of work, mainly adjusting colors and lightmaps should be walk in the park

Lurok91 · « **Reply #278 on:** March 07, 2014, 05:35:44 AM »

lightmaps are never a walk in the park

.

(Baz may disagree tho')

Bones · « **Reply #279 on:** March 07, 2014, 05:40:31 AM »

Yeah I know

I meant when Baz is done with TWOK lighmaps, it will be fairly easy to edit them to match lighting of ST4 bridge ;)
