FANGs

After a long break I return to my interiors, but this time I try myself on an early TNG vessel. The idea is to create some Constellation sets, with up to date LCARS etc. As the Stargazer bridge was way too cramped for my taste, I slightly rescaled it and modified the layout, inspired by a Probert sketch.

That's not photogrammatry, that's Veridian III ;-P. (Phantastic work on this model!)

After years of inactivity, I think it's time to come out of hiding again. I'm working on some special Trek interiours. Basic theme is "slightly changed TOS with more budget". Scenes I'm working on right now (well, from time to time ^^) are Pike-Era bridge, Transport room and engineering. Programs at hand are 3dsmax (right now I'm trying corona render with it, after referring iray over mentalray). (Photoshop is lurking in the Background, but i've yet to try and learn to work with textures). Okay lets start with the first version of my Enterprise bridge.

As you see the first element I included is the TMP tactical station mixed with a Kelvin-concept style centre console and modified wall stations. (please excuse the grainy renders - i didn't have the patience to wait for the clean results of Iray). Also the bridge is a little bit more spacey. (just changed proportions of consoles)
Since then I' ve wondered how it would look if I include the TOS consoles
First steps are already visible (rendered in corona)

Dinner time! I've tested the console with materials on the bridge.
(Some little elements were added, like the warpcore/warpfield monitor, and the trackball)



Oh, btw if you open the picture in a new tab, the resolution is high enough to see the shield display in the background!)

After being inspired by this fantastic Interior thread by Rekkert, i decided to fumble a little bit with my TOSish designs. First i put some thought into the intercom design.
The screen isn't a touchscreen. Instead it works more like the displays of a car, where you can work through the menus with a turn and pressable button.
With it you can select the Deck, section and room to open a channel to. Of course there is a numpad for fast selection of the rooms code (for example maybe Bridge 001, Bridge tactical station would be 001*2 maybe. If every message would be roomwide, there would be a lot of noise).
Suggestions?

At last i've been in the mood to activate the mainscreen. I'm impressed at the effect it has on the Bridge. (the Screen-image itself emit its own light, instead of a separate light - First tests with the Abramsverse-Vulcan-Orbit have been an eye-opener).
Next step will be rough "sketch - textures" for the upper screens. instead of just psychedelic Space views i will try to insert something like fitting TOS-Okudagrams. Doing an TOS MSD will be Time consuming....

Out of curiosity i reactivated my old Pike-bridge-version and fumbled with the lighting. At least i'm surprised by the results. I think i have to try some kind of console lights for the enterprise bridge. (Right now i'm tempted to assign this bridge to another ship)


btw, could this be the bridge of a federation class dreadnought?

a small test of the engineering, and mixing around some TOS and TMP elements.

This really looks fantastic!
What is the height of the access interface below the isolinear chip hub?)
Just noticed, that it's facing downward
