Star Trek TOS Bridge

I want to animate some TOS stories, sort of in the style of the Clone Wars. So, I'm building sets, this is the first one, and what I have so far. Its a huge task.

Just basic geometry at this point, no lighting and simple procedural textures.

I'll probably populate the control panels with texture maps and have special sets for close-ups.

The science station and targeting pop-up scanner is next.

Great start! Looking forward to seeing your character designs.

I wanted to do comics but I've a hard enough time modeling simple props, no way I could build and rig characters.

I hope you don't go over gritty with the textures, like they did with clone wars. Personally I'd like to see an Incredibles/Clone Wars hybrid.

Thanks everyone

The 1701 sets will be pretty shiny and clean... starfleet likes to keep their properties tidy.

My character modeling skills are pretty crude, heres what I have so far on a typical male body... ugh.

I really like they stylized characters of the Clone Wars, it may be a while before I can get up to speed to produce a quality set of characters...

The forearms look a bit flat in that last image, but it doesn't look too bad over all. I'm doing a similar thing in the BSG universe and I'm dreading getting to the characters.

Bridge looks really good, btw.

Character modeling...

Theres gotta be a better way...

Thanks for the feedback...

A quick update on the Nav/Helm station and my model of Uhura...

I may end up just using stock poser models...
