WIP USS - Voyager Bridge

[Chainsaw_NL]

I absolutely hate LCARS . The first version of this site was LCARS-style. Was a hassle that was to create .

Really ? That's why they make phpBB templates is it not?

Chainsaw! Stop talking! Keep modelling!!!

[Erik_Timmermans]

phpBB do, but the rest of the site was a different story .

[Chainsaw_NL]

A little bit closer now. After having to redraw the roof, because it wasn't round but an arrowhead shape, i'm now working on the LCARS screens. Unfortunaly there are a few dozen and i don't want to use other peoples textures. Also playing around with the lights (normal and red alert mode).

Chainsaw!

This will be the biggest job of your life.
Seven months of continuous work.

Do not make the things running.
This your work will be a great experience for you and for us.

Hi, Chainsaw!

Do you have any estimate of the final file size?
5mb ~ 10mb?

[Chainsaw_NL]

The model size is about 17mb.
Textures now about 15mb but there are some really high res images in there.

688 Objects
81 lights
180464 vertices
227184 faces

Left is a diffuse map with a self illumintion and a falloff map
Right is a diffuse map with a self illumintion
