I like the colours - quite soothing and relaxing. It would make a nice sociable lounge area as it is However, I'm really looking forward to seeing it as a bridge!
Yikes! Just had a look at the last 360 I'd posted...this one is MUCH higher-resolution and updated textures (and modeled stairs rather than textured mesh):
Waurgh, I thought I’d subscribed to the thread, how’d I miss all this!
I find the work fantastic, what you’ve done has got my old sketch literally leaping off its page. I like how you’ve actualized the little alcoves for the exits. The TNG Color palate was unexpected but makes the whole thing very welcoming. Looking forward to more!
There’s a couple things that I’d not thought of, that your artistic license has improved. The Conn pit for example was meant to be only one step down from the surrounding deck plate; the things you’ve designated as steps are actually meant to be Voyager-esque railings for people to hold on to. Similarly the Captain’s little platform is meant to be mostly on the same level as the flanking stations with a different color carpet surrounding it (maybe an inch higher). The way you’ve played with the vertical aspect however makes a lot of sense and improves visibility towards the forward view screen, which is a huge nitpick of mine for bridge ergonomics... I can’t stand how Sisko spent five years commanding the Defiant while pretending to look at the view screen when all he could really see is the back of someone’s head. Musta been nice the day Nog took the conn.
Keep it up man, it’s awesome stuff! Such a great thing seeing this happen to a little sketch from fifteen years ago!
Oh, and I haven't forgotten about the structural struts. I just haven't gotten to them, and I'm thinking of integrating them with the ceiling structure. It's going to be kind of a carpenter's nightmare, TV production-wise.
