Here's the latest for the day..

I'm working back and forth between the engineering cutout and developing assets. I built two new assets this morning and you can see
modifications to Engineering itself - adjustment to the level two windows to get them right, addition to the level two space above the
console area (overhead beam), and a resize of the wall section on level one and the cutin for a panel/cubby space that is supposed to be
there.. More of the assets have been placed as well. So, it's been a rather busy day for me between the work and research end.

As always, more to come

Another day, another couple of assets created and placed. More mods have been made to the Engineering walls to accept certain of
the assets. And I played with lighting levels a bit.

Not a bad day overall. Limited time today; but, still got quite a bit done.

More assets created. The floors and lower deck walls have been fixed. Still plowing through ..

havoc92 · February 8 2011, 06:27 PM

More more more

I am seriously loving this, man.

Damn.

This is awesome work. I hope your system doesn't choke on all the poly's you're building into this, as the detail is positively stunning. Putting it all together could be challenging.

Believe me, it's definitely becoming more challenging to get it done. I was aware of that going in; so, no worries.. just tenacity.

Kewel, it's begining to look like a "real" engine room now! Hang in there, and keep up the great work!

havoc92 · February 10 2011, 06:25 PM

Alright. It's interesting the difference a single detail can make. I'm a little excited and pleased with myself this morning; so, hold on to your butts..

Nuf said?

Your choice of light and shadow really gives the whole design an added realism that you wouldn't normally get through ambient lighting. Well done!

Kinda reminds of when Kirk et al found the abandoned USS Constellation in The Doomsday Machine...

Thank you. Definitely wanted to see some more realistic lighting going on to show a little more depth in the image. Kinda ticked though because it looks like I"m going to have to lower that level 2 floor by about a foot and put in ramps or steps in the adjacent areas. After raising the main floor nearly 16 inches, level two is still a full foot too high up. There's an extra step added on the ladder because of that.
It's made to easily modify, so no worries there; but, that floor is driving me nuts.

TIN_MAN · February 10 2011, 08:18 PM

Why not just have a step (or two) up from adjoining areas, and just accept it as one of the minor differences in the "FJ" universe as opposed to the -for lack of a better word- "prime" universe?

What is the standard rise of a single step anyway, 6", 8"? Not too far from the 16" you need.

Also, I may be mistaken, but I always thought that it was only the few feet in front of cargo doors in the anti-rooms that had ramps, because of the undercut of the hull in those areas? I'm sure you've already worked this out, so I may be totally off base here, but just a thought.
