When LC first posted his images of his Ultimate Intrepid Mesh in this topic, Mark asked me if I would mind fixing the errors in the intrepid bridge mesh ready for LCs release. During the remake of the bridge mesh Mark released a high poly bridge test, to see what we could push the limits too. If you have not run this test bridge and would like to help us out, please test it and post your results in that thread.

As this test has been successful sop far, I began to remodel key parts of the intrepid bridge in higher poly.

Please note this bridge is still a Work In Progress and as such the images posted do not contain the final textures or lighting as we still have much to do. This bridge in now roughly 50% through the Light Mapping process and which should be completed in about a week or 2 (no promises so please don't bug me if I dont post an update before then, we don't normally give deadlines).

Enjoy the pictures and please post your comments below.

Cheers
Sean

That looks amazing, there are a few EF textures that could do with an overall but that pretty incredible.

Just out of curiosity, whats the polycount of the command chairs?..

the textures are not final... youve got to finish mapping the thing before you can worry about textures

Brilliant, really does the Intrepid Bridge justice. where did you get those Voyager LCARS, did you guys make them!?. Excellent stuff!!

Incredible. What's the poly count on this sucker, and can we expect an "Ultimate" series of high poly bridges in the near-to-mid future?

wonderful bridge remake

I'm really happy that you guys are revamping this bridge while the original EF1 model was great on it's own, this is just taking it to a whole new level.

Seriously though great job.

i was hoping that this was going to be remade and I can see its in good hands as always ;)

Sean · « **Reply #8 on:** August 15, 2006, 05:08:53 PM »

ok poly counts.... here goes

1034 - Per Crew Chair x5
2023 - per command chair x2
1445 - Helm console x1
360 - New railings x1
592 - Per ops/tactical area x2

16357 - Total poly count

As for the previous questions...

a) Textures are not final as stated in the first post, some are whereas others are merely placeholders to correct/perfect the mapping

b) The voyager lcars are from marks intrepid bridge retexture, unless your refering to the tactical lcars pannels on the console (not the rear) they were taken from StarTrek Captains Chair as placeholders

c) At current, any model that has already finished modelling stages will not be changed by me for now, id sooner get this one out and then complete some new models before revamping most old meshes.. although im sure i will be modelling any new sets in higher poly once we know that they can be handled.. although a test bridge was issued, this will be our first high poly model and i dont want to waste time revamping all bridges incase it limits the potential downloaders, The reason i titled it "Ultimate" is because i want to release at roughly the same time as LC does his intrepid

i am soooo looking forward to this baby!

Darkthunder · « **Reply #10 on:** August 15, 2006, 07:10:18 PM »

As am I

Those command chairs look awesome. At 16k polygons, if this is the final mesh i'd have to say you have done a great job on the Intrepid bridge already. Once the texturing is final, i'm betting this will be the best looking bridge for BC

(until the Prommy bridge shows up... lol)

Looks amazing so far!

That looks absolutely incredible.

stunning work!

Sean · « **Reply #18 on:** August 18, 2006, 01:08:16 PM »

So u can see the model changes, i've taken some renders of the released version and the updated WIP without their mapping. This way u can see the model changes more easily.

The renders 1.jpg-4.jpg are of the released mesh
The renders 1a.jpg-4a.jpg are of the new rebuild

Nice work Sean, a tidy looking job. Can't wait to see it with textures!!.
