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.

interesting. a hybrid between an Intrepid and Generations bridge.

That is a very nice bridge, fits in well with the era. Could actully see it TLE 'sed with different textures. Its a very modual design. :thumbsup:
-
I like it. Keep it up Lurok!
-

-

:whenitsdone
btw - please never ever ask when a mod will be complete and released...
-
:yeahthat: what he said :)
I should really finish off and release other bridges first (Flyer, NemSov, Venture), but this may end up being first. Like Baz, moving and waiting to settle into new place...
-
A nice mix of bridge designs there. Nice job so far. :thumbsup:
-
Not really major update (been busy with apartment move/reinstalling on new PC/setting up website) but just experimenting with alternative decor scheme to original darker one above. Still all WIP...

I like it, but...I can't say I'm fond of the Intrepid-style command deck. I hated that on Voyager. What idiot in Starfleet decided that the "center seat" tradition needed to go?
-
Personally, I feel that is bit large for an Akira, but it is VERY Good work, and 'wait for it' COOKIE
-
I think the set looks pretty cool. Is it just me or has there been a bit of progress on the new crew bots too?
-
i wonder - would it be too much trouble to "shrink" down the set a bit? the size as is is fine, but somehow if it isnt much trouble i think it would be more feeling war-like if it was a little bit smaller...
-
that or it had some more stations in it with more bots and the lighting was slightly dimmer and i think itd look more war like.
-
Personally, I preferred the blue carpet trim over the current red one. In either case, I think the color needs to be desaturated somewhat, so as to not look as "cartoonish" compared to the rest.
Overall, I quite like this design style.

I actually hate to disagree with you, but I think it was a great idea!
Lurok, You're doing a fine job buddy :)
-
Hmmm....lots of useful constructive comments as always. Thanks guys. Will take on board when get back into fully.
Nero - yeah, male bots are new versions made for SP mod. Been experimenting with adding new hand anims also.

Started VRAY on bridge; properly lightmapped bridge may psychologically feel less space-y. As can see from renders (not ingame pics) still experimenting with different color schemes. Gone back to Defiant/DW-style brownish walls, and kept blue carpet edging rather than red as felt better with blue underlights. All still a bit up-for-grabs so will take a consensus if can't decide myself :)

Dude, I am speechless.....(good thing)
-
OH, very nice
-
*whistles* Best bridge ive seen yet! i think your just gonna get better and better!
-
Gorgeous! Simply stunning.
The blue lights and carpet edge make it so cool and gives off a vibe I can't describe but it is a good one
-
