3DTARDIS Control Room

[Deleted User]

I have been wanting to do this for a while now--the TARDIS control room. I found some decent reference at tardisbuilders.com and Google Maps' street view of the interior.

Blocked out the scale and just about have the outer wall done.

Ooo! And now for something completely different! Like the start, more more!

Looks like the Matt Smith one.

Are you going to have the round things? "I love the round things."

Correct sir! It was the only one I found good reference for and I haven't modeled an interior before--it seemed a good design for the exercise.

no round things on this one.

Finished the walls and the entry. Have to do the door next.

This may seem like a joke, but have you checked out the reference images at the Earl's Court Police Telephone Box? https://maps.google.com.au/maps?ie=UTF-8&q=google+maps+earl%27s+court+tardis&fb=1&gl=au&hq=earl%27s+court+tardis&ei=5-zVUraxIJStsQTJ_YDQAw&ved=0CIgBELYD&iwloc=cids:13636659494593312785,12502927659667388442



I'm not kidding, seriously, go inside.

That's exactly what I have been using

This project is fun. Making my way to the door and the console...and the railings and all the gizmos on the control panels and the tubes/wires underneath the platform and the spinning things on the ceiling :argh:

Ohhhh... I wanna build a TARDIS someday. Awesome job, there.

Rekkert

Very nice, this is by far my favorite TARDIS interior, and you're doing a great job!

Do it!

And thanks for the :thumb: guys.

Here is the current state of things. Some of the railing posts need tweaked and whatever else anyone catches, it's time to build the working guts of this machine.

Other projects on the go at the minute.

That's some incredibly smooth modelling.

It's real interesting seeing it without the center console. I kinda want to see what else could be put in there instead.

Sweet TARDIS interior model, and that Google maps action is awesome. Nice find.

Oh, I see you've changed the desktop theme again....

Aresius

*with a broad smile* Fantastic!

Lonewriter

I always wondered where the toilet was on the TARDIS.Nice start.

Starrigger

Alright... who used the last of the roll.... LOL, great stuff!

I did. And now to change it again...

Main console shape is completed along with some generic placeholder textures for the transparent bits.

[Deleted User]

Yes these are grainy renders because I had to rush them a bit.

UPDATED: I replaced the original grainy renders with some smother ones.

Vortex5972

So good. So very, very good.

TALON_UK

Excellent, really capturing the atmosphere of the location with your lighting.

[Deleted User]

Thanks!

And as for the lighting--I initially just created them as placeholders with some minor tweaks to color. I plan on going after a dimly lit look, like a smoky bar in a noir flick. Thanks for the comment; it tells me I am headed in the right direction.

[Deleted User]

Perimeter console details done. I've gone cross-eyed uv unwrapping all the bits. I don't necessarily need to unwrap everything for this particular project, but figured to unwrap everything anyway so if any bits and pieces are used for other models or scenes down the line, the parts would be ready to go.

And to think that earlier Doctors just made do with the hexagonal panel around the warp co... er, time rotor.

I know. I should have opted modeling one of theirs. Too many bits and pieces on this one. Far too many.

[Deleted User]

Down to the home stretch. Bit by bit. Beer by beer.

BlobVanDam

Wow, I love the detail on those consoles! This thing is going to look incredible once the materials/textures are done.

Lonewriter

It's really coming along nicely, keep up the great work. Did anyone ever notice how much the TARDIS console and a Starfleet warp core look alike?
