Bridge Commander Universe

Pegasus · **Posted**: 04-20-2005 04:15 PM

Well, here we go, this is going to be my project come schools end.

I am planning on making the MODEL for a bridge of the CIC from The new Battlestar Galactica.

I say Model because I know absolutely nothing about scripting the bridges, or for that matter, making textures.

So, here are my demands.... Wink

1: Refference pictures. I will probably need several of these, simply for the modeling.
2: Plan of the CIC so I know where everyhing goes.

This help would be appreciated hugely.
I'll get cracking at this asap anwyay, it should make for an interesting project nonetheless.

Comments, suggestions and critiscism are as always welcomed.

sorry for the double post, but here is the culmination of about 2 minutes of work Wink

Floor plan.

looks interesting... but you could save on polies if u used just a square floor.... as its going to be surrounded by the walls u wont really notice when its done...

tiqhud · **Posted**: 04-21-2005 10:40 PM

It looks good anyway so far ,,, and from seeing off the DVD it looks real close

Darran · **Posted**: 04-21-2005 10:42 PM

this is looking interesting.... i shall be keeping track of the progress on this one

Pegasus · **Posted**: 04-22-2005 02:22 PM

Agreed.... Right now, I simply plan on extending the edges to make the walls, then delete the floor. Smile

Bit of an update. I started by making the most prolific items in the room.

the Table, 4 pillars and the Dradis console.

I'm having trouble getting pictures of the dradis console though (For those who don't know, that's the thing hanging from the celing.
comments welcome.

Edit: Oh, it may look slightly oblong, that's because I was scrweing around with the perepective. i'll run off another one later.

Pegasus · **Posted**: 04-27-2005 09:14 PM

My appologies for the complete and utter lack of updates, but it's been a busy week and i'll have a 4 day weekend to work on it. Smile

Sean · **Posted**: 04-28-2005 12:03 AM

Shinzon · **Posted**: 04-28-2005 12:23 AM

4 DAYS!??!?!? damn, o well at least you'll have time to work on this

Pegasus · **Posted**: 04-28-2005 02:42 PM

Yeah, our school always saves up a day over the year tso we can take a 4 day weekend in conjunction with the Bank Holiday weekend.
I'm going to get cracking on it once my sister get's off MY PC....

I have a very helpful site now with lots of refference shots of the bridge, but if anybody else would like to contribute.

I am also putting out a plea to anybody who can texture models, both creation and mapping.
Think of it as a break from the standard LCARS system Smile

EDIT: Picture added, small update from a few minutes work I had. just going to get the shapes right before detailing.

Is this still in production?
I'm really intrested in this bridge. It would give me a good excuse to re-download the BSG

Adonis · **Posted**: 06-02-2005 11:57 AM

Looks cool so far Peg Grin

Phaser · **Posted**: 06-02-2005 07:30 PM

Lookin' good. Could you give us an update?

Sean · **Posted**: 06-02-2005 11:20 PM

im sure once theres an update we will get one Rolleyes

Sean · **Posted**: 06-02-2005 11:20 PM

sorry for double post... forgot to say that last pic looks sweet!

Pegasus · **Posted**: 06-09-2005 08:29 PM

Ok, updates. none available at the moment because i'm in the middle of exams.
Will have time in a few weeks.

Pegasus · **Posted**: 07-16-2005 06:10 PM

The time has finally come to get back to work. But First... I need to know if there is anybody out there willing to run textures for it. As you all know, I can't texture for the life of me, and I don't really see much point in trying to slave over this unless I can get a texturer to complete it.

So, Any takers?

Not wishing to sound like a moron but er if you want some DVD shots of consoles etc im more than happy to help as ive got the mini and full season 1 on DVD

Pegasus · **Posted**: 08-13-2005 04:42 PM

Thanks for the offer, but screen shot I have in abundance.... I just can't do a thing with them because graphic editting is not my fortae.
