3D interiors in Blender

[Rekkert]

Decided to test something out, several years ago I did these hanging props from the TNG sickbay, (only seen in 'Future Imperfect' and 'Man of the People' if I recall correctly) as a commission. But other than modeling them on their own, they have remained unused, so now I decided to polish them a bit and see how they looked on the Pride, and I must admit I like them as they kinda fit the somewhat awkward aesthetics.

Also went back to the old replicator design, but gave it a contrasting color like they had on Voyager. Finally, I populated the set with more props and swapped some of the chairs for different designs. I think this is now pretty much done, unless there's any suggestion for something I'm missing.

The only suggestions coming to my mind might be to round those office window corners to match the doorway (purely selfish reasons; the juxtaposition of round vs sharp corners is sending my ocd nuts ), add some more stacked supply cases and surgical equipment ala Yesterday's Enterprise (to evoke the wartime feeling), and if you have one and there's room for it, perhaps put in a VOY style cargobay/sickbay console or a simple E-E engineering console (since you had a TNG one in the original layout).

Other than that it really looks perfect as it is to my eye

 

[Rekkert]

@Blip: Heh, I also dislike the fact that the window corners don't match the doorway, but it is consistent with the office on Voyager.

Adding more supplies/equipment's a good idea, I'll do that. As for the consoles, I did try several of those that I have modeled (including the Voy one and E-E engineering), but frankly it ends up being too much, and as the Potemkin sickbay had one I'm happy with this version having no console there. After all the Ent-D sickbay didn't have one.

Oh I know, believe me! Drives me nuts every time I see it!!

Tbh I wasn't sure myself if there was enough room without it looking cluttered so I was purely coming from a functionality standpoint - but yes, good point! (Though now I kinda think maybe the Ent-D needs one adding retroactively! )

I did some final tweaks and added more props all over, including a new version or the large medical case as seen in DS9. Here are the finished renders!

I like to think that the screens around the operating bed can be raised and lowered as needed, depending on their function (or the height of the doctor!).

 

[Rekkert]

@TOMFAN: Indeed, that's precisely the way we saw them being used in TNG, at different heights. Tho on the show the support beams seemed to be static. On my take you can see I added a telescopic element to the supports, to illustrate that they can be adjusted on the fly.

i wonder, sometimes, if the large blank areas are meant to be displays

When we saw them the first time in "Future Imperfect," they were mirrors.

I know you're done, but I was going to suggest some blankets on the biobeds.

I also have a general suggestion for your sets. Have you ever tried making some generic characters in uniform to populate your sets? I don't mean trying to recreate any of the actors, but just some random people.
