Title: 4 Bridges: 2 Excelsior, 1 Ambassador, 1 Prometheus
Post by: Dalek on January 18, 2009, 08:21:22 AM
A few things I've tinkered with over the weeks. Just thought I'd show 'em off.

Unfortunately, I'm no master of light mapping on bridges (and I can barely get away with ship glows too).

Edit: Bugger, pulled the lead outta my pencil.

The only thing i can't understand is the Ambie roof lighting. Its sort of rainbowey in places but  if i look at the texture and the nif in NifSkope, they're a nice blue.

Well, at the minute, they're all there original ships (hence the MSD's) but at one time, the "Regal" Excel bridge had a Century Class MSD (but I lost it :( ) and the Ambie bridge is for a certain 9th Fleet thingymabob.

What would you say are the most common coloured LCARS by the 2380's? I was just wondering whether mostly blues and orangey/yellows would look right.

If you wish to use my Nemesis LCARS from PDW Excelsior bridge then go ahead, colors for them were taken straight from screencaps and are as accurate as possible ;)
They looks awesome, especially Voy Excelsior ;) I don't think that there were any purple parts in Nem LCARS... only multiple shades of blue/yellow/orange and there were also (but very rare) white/grey/green/brown.

Thanks for the offer Doc. :D

I put the original roof colour back on the Ambassador bridge since there were issues. And heres a new bridge to gawgle at...

Post by: Dalek on January 21, 2009, 03:37:08 PM
What d'ya think the LCARS should be on the Prommie bridge? Keep the same colour or a colour similar to the PDW Excelsior LCARS?
Title: Re: 4 Bridges: 2 Excelsior, 1 Ambassador, 1 Prometheus
Post by: JimmyB76 on January 21, 2009, 04:15:39 PM
i am curious...  why an Ambassador MSD for the Prommie bridge?
Ambassador Class ships seem to have existed much before the Prommie bridge-type?  i dunno, something about it just doesnt seem/feel right...  could be just me tho...

I only did it for a certain 9th Fleet thingymabob. And if there ever was a large version of the Ambie bridge (since the Galaxy and Excelsior gets one) then I think the Prommie bridge would fit best.

So, are you member of the 9th fleet?

I really like that Ambassador MSD... looks nice and sharp.

I'm not sure I would have gone with blue for the prommie LCARS though. I'd see this with more of the golden design of the early sovereign bridge, similar to what was seen in first contact.

Post by: Dalek on January 22, 2009, 11:16:02 AM
It's set around Nemesis (2379). So I'm being picky with my timeframe. :D I thought that having the original yellow/pinky red/purple LCARS looked off against the dull grey's of this bridge. And I've already gone to far to do any radical changes.

Piccies...

After some painful chopping, saturating and getting these pics, I give you a slightly revised version. Blue and orange LCARS!

I'm going to get fat at this point :P. It ake it people are liking the Blue/Orange LCAR combination?

Post by: FarShot on January 23, 2009, 06:11:57 PM
That looks kinda cool.  Can you get a pick of the overall bridge, so we can get a feel for the atmosphere?
Title: Re: 4 Bridges: 2 Excelsior, 1 Ambassador, 1 Prometheus
Post by: Bones on January 24, 2009, 07:27:02 AM
Great I like that color scheme ;) looks like early VOY LCARS

I'm not sure whether ths counts as "overall" FarShot but heres a few.

it is different...  it takes a little bit to get used to, tho youve done a good job on them...  im just not sure about the use of them two together, personally...  why did you choose blue and orange? 
Title: Re: 4 Bridges: 2 Excelsior, 1 Ambassador, 1 Prometheus
Post by: FarShot on January 24, 2009, 10:16:00 AM
Ok, thanks for that.

I like the console scheme, but it doesn't work well with the grayness of the walls, floor, ceiling, and furniture.  I'd make them purplish-reddish, sorta Nemesis like.

I disagree. I think the wall coloring, and the blue/orange LCARS look very well together. Perhaps making the consoles "dimmer" when in Red Alert mode would help thou.

Indigo/goldenrod makes for a wrecking combination of LCARS, that's what I am using for several of my projects at the moment.
Title: Re: 4 Bridges: 2 Excelsior, 1 Ambassador, 1 Prometheus
Post by: Dalek on January 25, 2009, 09:27:29 AM
IIRC, the Nemsis LCARS are blue and a paler orangey yellow. I don't want purple. I realised that when I first tried it. It doesn't suit my style.
Title: Re: 4 Bridges: 2 Excelsior, 1 Ambassador, 1 Prometheus
Post by: FarShot on January 25, 2009, 11:08:46 AM
Oh, I probably shoulda clarified, but I like the consoles color, but I don't think it sits with the gray of the interior.  I was suggesting different color for the carpet and ceiling supports etc.

Ohhhhhhh :D. Any suggestions? I can't quite imagine a Sovie style wallpaper...yet.
