The Roddenberry Archive / OTOY
- Thread starter Donny
- Start date
Has anyone from the archive project reached out to the families of Pato Guzman and/or Franz Bachelin to find out whether there are any additional surviving concept art from their work on Star Trek that their family members might like to have included in the archive for posterity?
I know Bachelin did some "pretty pictures" of the bridge, which Jefferies had to turn into a workable design that could actually be built, so it would be great if those still existed and we could actually see them!

In which ship?
Mostly walk through doors, almost all turbolifts are there, and on the XCV-330, climb the ladder
What I find amazing is that all those lighting effects, reflections, high-res textures, photo quality polys, run so smoothly in a browser
It probably is not being rendered in the browser but on one of Otoy's servers. Watching my network performance monitor while exploring it looks like everything is rendered on their servers and streamed back to you.
So my boy gave it a run this morning. His feedback:
"They like TNG better than everything else! Everything in TNG is labeled (first officer, con, ops). Everything on the other ships says 'crew chair' 'crew chair' 'crew chair' 'crew chair'".
He does have a point.
I DID get to explore some more (thanks @NCC-73515 ) and WOW is this amazing.

I hope the Stage 9 maps were simply updated, not trashed and everything redone from scratch
Oh those were done from scratch, simply put the quality wasn't at the level needed
Can you move to another deck in the turbolift?In which ship?

Damn. I could play with this all day.

Thanks!You can display different decks on the E, but it's not EFXP yet
Well, to go into a bit more detail, between Stage 9 and working on the Archive, I was given access to accurate blueprints (which had since become public) of the bridge due to my involvement in Picard, so I knew a lot of it was inaccurate before.
As for the other Enterprise-D rooms seen in the video and the virtual experience, it was also a matter of poly-count. For Stage 9 back in Unreal Engine 4, elements had to be quite low poly for performance to be good across a wide range of hardware. Now with UE 5, we can go much higher thanks to new tech; and as these are now streamed to a browser, we know exactly the capabilities of the servers and can optimize accordingly, hardware doesn't change.

I can walk into the Ready Room & Observation, but how do you make the turbolifts take you to the other parts of the ship?!
The lifts don't do anything, those pictures are from the videoI can walk into the Ready Room & Observation, but how do you make the turbolifts take you to the other parts of the ship?!
