3D interiors in Blender

[Rekkert]

If the idea was for just the panels to look segmented without going through the trouble of cutting them, they'd just used black tape as they did elsewhere to achieve the same effect. The strips were definitely a deliberate and consistent design feature on Voyager. Beyond the corridors they were most prominent on the bridge, but other rooms had similar pieces as well. IMO looking at both the corridors and tactical/operations consoles, they were simply an easy way to break up horizontal lines without having to manufacture more complex (i.e. expensive) base structures.

Did a few different designs for the large wall segment on the inner side of the curve on the corridor. I wanted to avoid using the same LCARS screen Voyager had there, as I want the fact that this is another ship to be more obvious, plus I already used that design for the same area on Cerberus' corridor set. So I tried a wall full of removable panels similar to the far wall on Voyager's Jefferies junction, but it just looked busy for no reason. In the end I went for a modified version of one of the walls from Budapest's engineering, with some removable panels and a more intricate screen design.

Did a generic LCARS panel for the screen and ended up changing that wall's color to the lighter grey. I also did the opposite wall, with the door flanked by two (admittedly somewhat boring) panels at the sides.

Next up is the turbolift, on which I have multiple ideas started; I could go more Voyager-esque with the round lift, or modify the lift I already did for the Cerberus (aka the "lift of the week" used on the Pasteur, Prometheus, etc.) to get it closer to this style. Once I have them somewhat done and can plop them into the end of the corridor I'll see which one fits the best.

That corner feels like a mini-lobby. love it

Maybe a couple chairs like the D did...those little sections with a couple chairs and the potted plant. Voyager didn't come with those apparently.

 

[korblborp]

chairs might be too big an inhibition for walking, but some wall vases or something maybe

IIRC, those were usually in alcoves or entire rooms off of the corridor, not actually in the corridor. (I know the one we see several times during TNG Season 1 was a redress of Dr. Crusher's office.)

They were also placed on engineering the few times they used that set as originally intended, as a big corridor intersection/social space.

On some of the larger ships I do intend to have areas like these on the corridors, but certainly not on something as small as the Norway class.

Mother of god those red stickers are HUGE.

I do love seeing them actually use it as the corridor section. We see that so little throughout the show.

@ashleytinger: Not only are they huge, for some reason they went with the bright red ones, which are a lot tackier than the darker, more common ones.

Inspired by a question in another forum, I swapped the Voyager/TNG colors on their respective styles just for a bit of fun. It's worth pointing out that I always envisioned the USS Appalachia corridors as essentially the TNG corridors with Voyager colors, plus some details of the Enterprise-E added in as well. Sooner or later I'll develop that idea further.

While doing tests with the lighting for red alert, I decided to swap the floor-level light to blue. This matches the other Budapest interiors, while also making the corridor a bit more distinct to Voyager's.

I like the TNG colourscheme applied to the Voyager corridor!

 

[TOMFAN]

Love the colour swaps!

On the TNG in VOY colours, if the doors were in red you'd get a pretty nice ENT-A feel to them.

 

[Firebird]

I don't know why, but the Voyager corridors in the TNG color scheme gives hospital ship vibes.

 

[korblborp]

it certainly gives me the weirds

oof and then i imagined the corridors in white and hospital green

 

[David cgc]

I don't think the VGR corridor in TNG colors is that strange. Probably because TNG already had square corridors, just not that one, so the difference isn't as extreme.

The TNG-in-VGR colors just looks like the movie-era with depression, though.

{TNG corridors with Voyager colors}

Voyager should have retained these corridors along with the rounded prism consoles. They were so busy trying to make the ship distinct and with its own on-screen identity that they forgot to make it feel like home. That's a century of standardized stuff just discarded.

(Still not as bad as the utterly alien Sovereign Class Enterprise-E with her wonky corridors, jagged consoles, and Klingon-esque chairs, but still.)
