There is one bridge I've been waiting for, though I'll just have to wait longer. Wink

one thing about the chairs - I don't know what Ritual were smoking, but their chairs don't look anything like the chairs in the films, take a look at the DVDs for reference. And I mean, come on, a game developement team must be smoking something to get an obscure detail like that wrong. potheads.

Could be a different Sovy-class, with different furniture! Mr. Green

Well the three chairs were from the ritual EF2 the rest were my work although the rest of the chairs look boxy but I had to keep the poly count low.

I am not sure if Adonis will edit those but I bet he will add those to the list there is still alot to fix on the bridge I made that got the poly count high.

So I am not an expert at making lowpoly bridges although there are still some tools that I don't know yet that helps keep the count low.

Lets see what Andois have to say once he replies.

edit:

Oh if it is not to much trouble is you guys can help me to find some phtos of the MSD for the Sovereign Bridge?

This one is directly from the movie. As is this and this. This is the schematic up close, although the color-scheme is the purplish-tint it was in the other movies, not Nemesis.

Not everything in the initial game is totally accurate. We've learned this many times. Usually, commercial companies can't be hellbent on every single precise detail piece like us obsessive people do.

Well I mostly used the spline to and used the shape merge to merge the spline shape to the mesh. I also used Exclude to make the walls. For the rest of the stuff I just make a new mesh make it to the right shape and add it to the bridge.

The ones I used the shape merge was the floor and the view screen. The furniture like the Chairs and the rest of the consoles were from EF2 with some changes that I had to make also the other chairs than the three chairs in the middle of the bridge which I did type before I had to make. The other chair wasn't accuate to the one in nemesis.

I can get you a schematic of every console on the bridge as of First Contact, but they were changed drastically for nem.

You have "Captain's Chair" bren?

Yeah, the okudagrams did change somewhat, the monitors had the same basic stuff, but looked a bit different and more of a blue-ish tone to them.

That won't be needed Bren I have the movie Nemesis so I have the info I needed and so as Adonis.

Ya nice the flat panel monitors are around the Consoles looks much better make the Trek computers look realistic.

The guy might be pretty busy.

I didn't see much change with the basic layout from FC-Insurrection-Nemesis. You're right about the flat screen panels though, and I do agree that would make things more "authentic" on the bridge.

Though I do seem to remember someone saying that the Ent-E bridge in Insurrection lacking the consoles for the XO and counselor. I should rewatch my DVD of that to make sure.

Cube · **Posted**: 11-13-2004 08:51 PM

I could easily get screencaps from First Contact and Namesis if you want them.

1701-E · **Posted**: 11-13-2004 08:58 PM

Insurection did have the XO and Councellor consoles they were just a little more together to the chairs I think in that movie. Probobly gonna have to watch the DVD again to be sure.

Well, each incarnation of the bridge had its differences from the previous one. There could be additional ones.

Also the Conn/Ops controls in Nemesis were different, they had that big flat screen in the middile, which I'm not sure made much sense.

They added flat screens to Conn and Ops to be used in certain shots, like when Data reported the shields weakening or when Troi was text-messaged helm orders from Picard.

You know, I wonder if perhaps we should stop arguing about this and wait for the next update.
