Not more TNG, but TNG era sets
So I've been working on this for the last few weeks.
I see that being a Narendra type bridge:

The blue suggests a big cetacean presence…
Very nice sets!
Thanks!
Yup. Exactly that design.
I don't know about a cetacean presence, I just didn't want beige and wanted to kind of harken back to the lost era a bit. Like it's one of the last ships hanging onto that design aesthetic anyway it can
Nice. Crewed by Andorians and Bolians, I suppose.
Completely mixed crew. Captain is going to be an El-Aurian.
Going by the races in the current crew list spreadsheet i have:El-Aurian, Vulcan, Human, Caitian, Beltran, Andorian, Trill, Betazoid, Bajoran, oh, there's a Bolian lol
Well a week of work on her and the bridge portion of deck 1 is complete!
I also realized that I had used an older version of the registry in the WIP tags, so that's done. So this version is two-fold, first I finished the LCARS, adjusted placement so they weren't just floating in front of the screens (whoops) and then tweaked the set overall to import it to work in DAZ from Blender. And then I had to rebuild the consoles, and the chairbacks and a few pieces of the ceiling because while they looked great in Blender, they had some major geo issues in DAZ.
So after some very nice input from the fine folks over at sci-fi meshes and on their Discord, I think I'm happy with this set for now. I may try and tweak the lighting to better match the Blue tint I had in Blender but it worked pretty well with the crew in it as is. There is a previous post of a crew-less version if you want a better look at everything without the crew in the way.
Want to thank Sean Robertson for the assist, advice, some set pieces I used to learn bridge building in Blender a few years ago, and the idea of a better version of the Ambassador Class bridge!
That bridge is beautiful - I love the design and the colour scheme.
I think the standing consoles need chairs or stools.

Your bridge also benefits from your well composed and rendered crew so it looks fantastic
Thank you!
Thanks! I think I'm far less intimidated by the TNG aesthetic now than I was. I find the TMP era much hard to hash out anymore. They did some ... interesting things with the sets from TMP through TVH.
Thank you so much! Yeah I wanted a fleshed out bridge that made sense and wasn't quite the stripped down bridge we got for the Ent-C for an Ambassador class.
Thank you! Wanted something that wasn't beige and I liked the blue look from TFF I just took it up a notch. lol
I have a few ideas for stools but this is still early TNG. We don't design for comfort!
I echo others' sentiments: your 'Lost Era Blue' bridge looks fantastic! (much better than 80s beige)
I haven't decided if I want to do a version where I rip it back to the bulkheads and put in the TUC style sitting consoles or not. Would also involve having to do a full load of TVH-TUC LCARS too, so it's probably sitting like this for now. I figure refit up to 'current' standards as of 2260-ish was good enough
I just put this together using toys already on hand. Nothing from my library of tricks. Decided to go for an angle we didn't really see in the episode. Was going to try and put Geordi in but he's firmly in the station behind Worf through this part and then it cuts out Troi who was seated near the horseshoe. It was also far less dramatic. So this is what I went with
Yes, I know Shelby's hair is wrong but considering it changes styles from scene to scene anyway, meh.
While not entirely exact (they did modify this set nearly every season for the show's 7 year run) it will definitely suit most people's purposes.
Built in Blender from blueprints, screenshots, some excellent references and advice from about 25 different people I love and respect. Thank you for the assist!
Putting the set through its paces!
A somewhat impromptu visit from Deanna's mother has Picard putting on his best friendly but concerned face as Deanna watches annoyed and Riker can't help but be amused. As usual, Chief O'Brien wonders if he's going to have to handle her luggage, especially since Mr. Homm isn't here.
Transporter Room 3 was built in Blender. Uniforms are from amyaimei The lighted gridwork on either side of the transporter initially done by Sean Robertson
A transporter room is not complete until it has beamed up Ambassador Troi! Nicely done
P.S. Terminus Timeline Riker cuts an impressive figure
That's Lwaxana Troi, Daughter of the Fifth House, Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Riix, Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed to you :P
Yeah, he's been working out
I also need to get this thread title updated lol
I haven't really been using a different timeline for a while now.
