Can't stop dabbling when bridges waiting to release on hiatus... soooo, here's some WIP of possible new Akira bridge.
Used Generations Galaxy as base - which was LC's plan also when he was considering Akira, and seems appropriate module design - with redress chairs and consoles from DS9/VOY era ships. Basically just doing what a Trek set artist would do and taking different elements from appropriate era film/TV show and combining to create new-look bridge.
And some tips to share with bridge modders:
1. These ingame shots are from a non-lightmapped bridge. Instead, I added an omni light at 70% illum and exported bridge complete with omni as nif.
2. By not adding lightmaps, but using gamma/normal structure, bridge has the red pulsing on all surfaces when at red alert.
3. Red pulsing will only work on map surfaces that have a light or grey, not dark, ambient and diffuse surface. Need to adjust in material editor.
