Hi !
in order to land my custom vipers somewhere, here's where they are suposed to go.
in the arelion space fortress.
for now : the CIC
will be in an amphitheater shape, and to save money from buying big screens, they use a lot of projectors. will be 3 levels, and in the center, the tactical table

there wont be more workstations, but its far from finished.
the walls are still empty, such is the roof. i'll put some ventilation shafts, loose cables, chairs, lamps, doors, and a huge flag on the wall.
and it lacks people too. theres about 25 people working in there.
and there's some space i havent figured out what to do with too...
Vending machines?:D
maybe that, and in the other side, the copy machine
robert, the scene is around 330k poly, that's not so much. nearly all the polies are in the workstations. the room geometry is pretty simple.
polycount is 550k (chairs are lights, but theres lots of them)
now, a few pipes
i think i'll color some of those lights.
i'm going for red on the big doors, a cold blue over the tables, and a bit more yellowish for the ambiants
updates trying differents colors
i had a painful work week
more views and more little lights :
Also, is there some kind of window available or is this CIC biurried deep within the station?
I personally like this indention for big screen in the wall - it just fits with no-bucks-no-screen concept, so to say XD. It adds a lot to realism, and no-money concept really kicks in when you spot this huge blank wall with projections. Really BSGish if you ask me .
Also BorgMan, just to make things clean I'm not trashing your opinion in any way. Just sharing my own while accepting your own.
borgman, its buried deep in the station, so, no window. but, there will be an air (space) trafic control room on the flank of the bangar bays, which will have larges windows.
projectors are cheapers. and console displays are not touch screens.
big screens for the winners... should i remind you what happened to the 12 colonies that one day ?
only one image today. takes forever on my home computer.
a few corrections and better screen textures
Keep up the good work.
Ofcourse they lost, they didn't have fancy big screens to show them what happened!
(something) for the win is an expression, but the Urban Dictionary states it way better:
No, it isn't meant sarcastic here, just genuinely ^_^ But yeah, it's your station, I just thought it would look cool. Sometimes *it looks cool* is the only reason you need to do something (or don't )!
i dont want to imagine the render time when i'll destroy this room and crush poor operators under huge metal beams.
the ground is too dirty, i now, i'll change it later. i'll add a few color stripes on the wall paterns too.
ok borgman, now i get it i never heard it before.
and yes, im familiar with the rule of cool
but sometimes, you have to make thing uncool to set up a background or a storyline
edit : theres a missing spot on the stairs. just seen it.
heres a few more colors.
on the 2nd image, these are the projectors (2 of them. theres 3 in total. glow in PS)
i dont like how the center flag looks like. i'll change it later.
i thought i had scale issues, but in the end, no. maybe just a few consoles have to be a little higher, but the rest looks good.
i also started the people
one last for today, and im heading home
face, cap, and rank
