Phase II bridge does have a serious furniture store catalog look to it (even by Trek standards)
Spoilers The Roddenberry Archive brings every iteration of Star Trek’s USS Enterprise bridge to life
- Thread starter Tuskin38
- Start date
It wasn't fully built. The only set IIRC that more or less was totally done was Engineering..which was basically unmodified for TMP.
The side walls and such were done for the Phase II bridge and a few consoles, they required minimum modification once Phase II was scrapped and it was converted to TMP. Certain things, like the tactical targeting globe thing, were scrapped and the alcove tactical station that Chekov manned in TMP and we saw in TWOK was added in its stead
That captain's chair just screams 1970's lounge chair.
One thing I noticed is that their fleshing out of the original Pato Guzman sketch for the TOS bridge has a lot of similarities to the Kelvin Universe design, and made me wonder if that's what they drew inspiration from when they put it together. I remember there were a lot of criticisms of it when Star Trek (2009) came out, with people calling it an Apple Store, but the sort of stark white modernist design of it fits with Guzman's original take.
Did they find the exact same rock and film there, or is it all CGI?
I'm almost positive they visted the Death Valley set location and filmed there at least for some of this. In one of the shots you can see a car on one of the state park access roads, like a Black SUV or such.
They did film there, but with CGI still used of course.
Walking around the sets is absolutely amazing, especially the concept bridges. I love the Phase II bridge more than the TMP bridge. I can't wait to see more - the Voyager bridge at the end is hopefully indication of the other Non-Enterprise hero ships being worked on.
Also, Spock in the video isn't using any deepfake or CGI, it's an actor with make-up:

That's Spock in the TMP costume. What about Spock where Kirk died?
That’s nuts that that isn’t a deepfake! Mind blown!
Yeah, I do remember seeing photos over time of that large globe area being cut out with a clear plastic sheet taped over it during construction.
Based on photos looks like the same actor and process. Could be wrong.
It wasn't fully constructed, as far as we know. But partially. I took what we know was built and then filled in the details based on what's in Mike Minor's concepts.
This is so cool
Ok so I'm stumped...HOW THE HECK do you get to walk around on the bridge and look around from different angles!? In your image, in the lower left hand corner, is a sort of controls display. For the life of me, I can't figure out why, but I don't see any indication of how to access controls for any of the bridges, or how to do anything with them other than look around from one position. Also, are there 3d models of the ships too? Because as far as the exteriors go, all I see are still images.
Been waiting months for this to drop, someone please help!
EDIT: Has anyone gotten this to work on Chrome, Firefox or even -gasp- Microsoft Edge? The ONLY browser I can get it to work on is Safari, and that's only available on my MacBook laptop. I'd really like to have access on my big desktop PC.

It's both. As per posts by team members themselves, it's the actor in make-up with real-time replacement of key parts of the face. (Such as Nimoy's distinctive eyes.)
You need to be on a PC or decent laptop. Load the one you want then wait a couple of minutes. Don't panic if the button vanishes once you click it. It'll work.
On a phone, you just get the movable 360° pictures.
Also in case anyone didn't notice, on the Enterprise-D you can explore the conference lounge behind, on the Discoprise you can explore the briefing room (through the second bridge door, perhaps where the set was IRL?) and on the SNW Enterprise you can explore Pike's ready room.
This is utterly stunning. I NEED it in VR. We know from the artists' YouTube videos that corridors and other areas are coming. Cannot wait.

EDIT: Now I feel stupid. I got it to work FINALLY on Chrome and the Microsoft browser (is it called edge? I know I said earlier, now I can't remember. LOL). I really don't know what I was doing wrong before. Please disregard the rest of this post. Apologies everyone!
Ok, let me preface this by saying that the bridge models are absolutely, jaw-droppingly gorgeous. I'm so stunned that I can finally see the insides of the Planet of the Titans, Phase II and 2245 Enterprise Bridges. I'm absolutely in awe of the work on the models.
THAT BEING SAID
This website is horribly designed. I can't get hardly anything to work on almost any browser, and only on Safari do I get the full features, and only then, it's on a tiny MacBook Pro. As I mentioned, I have a powerhouse desktop gaming PC with a massive monitor for enjoying just such things, and I can't get any of the features to work on any of the 3 browsers available on my machine. This should not be such a big deal, and it shouldn't be exclusive to Apple users to view these fantastic bridge recreations (if it is available on anything other than Apple machines, I'd like to know how). I've waited a long time for this, so please bear with my impatience at this point. Apologies if I seem upset or disappointed, I just am so excited and ready to experience this myself.

It really is stunning. Its why I would love to see a "canon" Starfleet Museum thing like this..see all the ships, any other exhibits the base has, etc
Do I see cities and parks inside the J?
I look at this now, and I think: This Enterprise wasn't built. This thing's alive.
My guess, it's one of those shapeshifting space jellyfish from 'Encounter at Farpoint.' Starfleet somehow talked it into turning itself into a starship, and gave it free rein to design itself. They supply the energy source/engines/crew, it supplies the rest.
