Without blowing my own trumpet I'm really happy how that new screen came out. The old one really bugged me.

Looks good, though the mapping on the side of the weapons console looks strange there are striped in the paint work?

I think that's just the way the light(mapping) reacts to the weapons mesh. I'll see if can fix it.

New viewer in place; choice of 1) darker or 2) lighter. Also first test of red alert map on walls. About right or darker?

Looks about right to me...would need to give it a look-see when you get the consoles too, but it seems the right shade.

Are you also messing with the dome on the ceiling at red alert? Not sure if the bit where it turns white was just in Search for Spock or not. I would need to watch the movies again, heh.

from your pic, I say touch to much red.

i agree with tiq...
it sucks about the lightmapping thing, i do have high hopes youll be able to figure that out...
but currently, it looks like someone painted bright red on the walls... id say go darker if possible, to make the bridge "feel" like it has no lighting but the red...
also, IMO you may want to "grey" out the dome (the reflective part) just a little bit when at red alert so it doesnt look so shiny and stick out...

Morgan · « **Reply #66 on:** May 18, 2010, 04:26:25 PM »

I prefer the darker viewscreen. As for the red alert lighting I'd say the red lighting shade looks a little too "bloody," maybe go a little lighter on the shade but make the bridge a hair darker during red alert or give it a red ambient as Jimmy said.

I rather like the darker border on the view screen less distracting... The red alert appears to be to... how shall we say red

I think that the lighter is actually right because the screen border material looks nearly the same color as the wall in this shot here but agree with the others that darker is better.

It's tough to tell without the consoles and screen border looking like they are being affected by the red light at all ...

Are BC bridge "lighting changes" not actually ambient lighting changes in a 3d model but rather re-colorings of some of the wall textures?

Red mapping will have to wait a bit as hit similar glitches to PDW NX bridge (lightmaps switching for no reason, maps not loading). But when get back to it, will probably be darker. The shot above was just a test; you'll get a better idea when more elements mapped.

Trekcore here is a better reference source than one you're using as from HD source. Blogspot grabs have incorrect color correction.

There are gamma light changes that can be hardwired into nif (tho still use textures) but until ex-modellers pass on secret that'll have to wait

The PDW NX and this bridge using BPCore scripted map-swapping, which swap textures.

Thanks to teleguy/BCS managed to fix mapping probs. Redmapped bridge now. Feedback helpful. I need to fix the rim lights later.

Also working on TMP Spacedock http://bc-central.net/forums/index.php/topic,7444.0.html

Very cool indeed.

Oh my!!! I have to watch TWOK again just because this bridge is so amazing. Excellent work!

Joshmaul · « **Reply #75 on:** May 20, 2010, 04:52:31 PM »

Holy God, that is beautiful...I'm tearing up, and I feel no shame in admitting it.

really great work. The new Master of Bridges.

Love it mate! Brilliant work!

Lurok91 · « **Reply #78 on:** May 21, 2010, 08:14:59 PM »

More or less finished mapping (green/yellow/red)...just tweaking now. Waiting final textures from Bones then will replace.

Unfortunately still no luck on chair anims (and no advice from 3E yet). Know what problem is; just need to be shown how to recreate.

So bridge currently on hiatus...

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #79 on:** May 21, 2010, 09:24:27 PM »

*sigh* I'm sorry, but the way the helm console is situated, either it's misaligned or the viewscreen is. That is my ONLY niggle with this bridge. Is there any way you could show it from above?
