Pretty much done with the bridge. Might touch up the wall display so it doesn't look so plain. Next more textures to the other consoles and adding rocker switches and physical buttons.
Update post 1/2 Time to restart this thread. A total redesign of the interior. I just finished the bridge. Starting on the science bay next. Also the exterior needs a lot of work since that is when I first started modeling. I haven't worked on it for over 4 years. Not going to touch that until I get the interior done because I'm having fun making the controls and such. BTW this will be a long post. Got a lot of images to share. Update 2/2 will be the close ups of the bridge consoles.
Overview of the bridge, unfinishe exterior and logo
Thanks guys. Going to start on the section just behind the bridge. This will have the science stations. I still have to draw out what I'm going to put in the middle. There is a lot of empty usable space there. In the mean time I have put together a little panaroma. Please use the button on the lower right to see it in HD, enjoy.
Arrangement of the Science section completed. Please excuse the quality of the pictures. It was rather dark in there without extra lighting. Now on to the equipment details and controls. Fun fun fun.
I'd love to see it launched Buran style--but scaled way up.
No need to launch like Buran or the Space Shuttle. Quick renders below. That is a nice PDF of what the shuttle could of been. I like figure 19. Looks like Moonraker from 007
Great stuff. So, does your mind go numb doing all of those repeated buttons and switches?
When repeating no but when I have to come up with a function and arrangement for the switches and buttons my mind turns into mush. :argh: Every switch, button and knob are labeled and have a specific function. Sometimes I have to take a nap after working on a console.
Edit: Here is a close up. As you can see I run out of functions.
My hat is off to you, sir. I would have gone nucking futs trying to do that. Though, realistically, I would have just said "f*** this" and moved on to another project. :devil:
Though, I do like how three of them are labeled "WTF" and "Nope."

LOL , I do go nucking futs but after I see a render and it looks nice, it's worth the brain freeze.
Post#37, those are awesome displays, how are they all done? Image textures or modelled parts?
Thanks! The display graphics are textures that I have found on the net and the others I made myself. The labels that show the functions of the controls are simple self illumination maps.
