Starfleet Bridge
For my next Blender project I fancied having a go at a Starfleet bridge. From the outset the design was to be a fusion of a few different vessels seen over the ages, bringing together the spaciousness of Enterprise-D, the panel designs of Enterprise-B, with the moodier decor tones of USS's Vengeance, Voyager and Enterprise-E. Speaking in context I suppose this may be considered a possible progression up to Picard's time from the POV of the Kelvin timeline? I feel it turned out pretty nice!
In the beginning.. Ralph takes his scale placeholder position once more, exchanging his previous position as barista in the cosy café for a position in space.
The barebones version, adding bit by bit to the necessary hardware..
A placeholder graphic for proof of concept (thanks to Frankie Cao on Pinterest for his contribution to this aspect!)
The panel work, in lieu of Frankie Cao's experimental piece, comes into focus.
Helm, navigation and defence in place..
The tactical bay was an interesting challenge.. lots of extrusion and selection. Also the curved display proved the value of UV unwrapping over the texture coordinate approach I'd employed to this point.
