3D interiors in Blender

[The Green Monster]

Awesome.

I wish I could do this. I mentioned a couple years back but I have a version of a Nebula Class bridge (deck one) and ten forward in mind that I'd love to do.

Same. When I was in high school, I used to doodle floor plans for bridges instead of paying attention in class.

@Finn: I mean, nothing's stopping you, I started by just playing around with SketchUp one day!

@cardinal biggles: You just described the entirety of my school years.

Spent some time today doing a bunch of medical props, cases, and computers.

I've also done two versions of storage shelves which were used in Voyager and First Contact. They're both just as tall, but one is thinner and all shelves, while the other is wider and has some veritically divided areas at the bottom. I still need more props to populate it all, but it's getting there hahaha.

My notebooks were full of doodles of X Wings and Tie fighters and such.

 

[The Green Monster]

I still have my doodles of creatures. I think a couple actually dates back to my undergrad days over 20 years ago.

That is perfect! I was going to suggest the exact desk that you added.

@Rekkert Sketchup isn't free. I just looked it up, as I haven't used it on my current laptop...been ages. And they require subscription now..

I still use Sketchup Make 2017, and while it is no longer available on the Trimble site, I'm pretty sure you can still find it by searching the web. However, as you can guess, that comes with 'risks', so I wouldn't recommend it...

Sketchup for the web, is completely free...

(Blender is still free, and always will be) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Blender's got a steep learning curve, but it's available for everything, and can produce excellent results once you get to grips with it.

 

[The Green Monster]

Yeah, I have it. Still haven't gotten it yet

 

[Macintosh]

Yeah, I have it. Still haven't gotten it yet

Same here

 

[Rekkert]

Yeah, there's a reason why even as a Blender user I wouldn't recommend it (or any full DCC like 3DS Max or Maya) unless someone is willing to spend a lot of time with it hahaha

 

[ashleytinger]

As a former Truespace user, I found Blender for Artists was a nice alternate interface for Blender. It's generally kept up with standard Blender's backend but the interface and options were more in line with what I was used to.

You were one of the people I was thinking of when I said it could produce excellent results

 

[Rekkert]

It was a great idea, thanks!

@Macintosh: Aww, thank you!

Not much time to work on this during the week, but I somewhat rearranged the CMO's office so that the curved wall is behind the desk. I also added light columns like on the main ward, I think they frame the desk nicely. Obviously I still need to add decor on the walls and all that.

I had to make the room slightly deeper so that the desk works rotated like this, but I checked and it's still slightly smaller than Dr. Crusher's office in TNG (and this one doesn't have the added waiting area!), so I think it still fits.

 

[The Green Monster]

Beautiful. Could those be storage bins back there, add stickers, and perhaps a small panel?

 

[Rekkert]

Focused on the office today. I modified the replicator so that it better matches the modifications it had for Nemesis, most notably the silver taping that goes all across its face is a bit more intricate with curved edges and some cuts.

I also modeled a little... side table... thing? Whatever it was, it was used on Prometheus' sickbay, and then modified for use as a console in Enterprise, so there's some photos of when it was auctioned. I originally intended to use it on the ward, but there's enough clutter in there I think, so I placed it on the office with a bonzai on top lol.

Then I had an idea of having some hanging plants behind the desk, so I purchased some from CGTrader, and modified them to get just that. Still not totally sold on it all though, thoughts?

 

[Rory1707]

I like the hang plants. They give contrast to the color scheme of the office. IMO.

 

[DEWLine]

Could those light fixtures on the wall behind the desk double as display screens?
