Bridge Clean Up/Render?

[BolianAdmiral]

Hi, all...

I was wondering if anyone would be willing to tackle an idea for a starship bridge I drew up a while ago (when I was still in high school) for a Cheyenne-Class ship. I have a rough drawing, but I'd very much like to see this baby in 3D.

I am MORE than willing to totally allow anyone to use this design if they wish to, for gaming sets, whatever. It is meant to be a cross between the U.S.S. Brittain bridge, and the U.S.S. Sutherland bridge. Below is my original drawing, and some new notes:

- The overall color of the bridge should be a kind of light minty green, like on the Brittain's bridge, and the light level just as dark, as this is a very small ship, with a small bridge.

- The ceiling dome light should be orange.

- The viewscreen and iso-linear chip racks are based off of those seen on the U.S.S. Sutherland.

- The doors and the graphics pattern on them are identical to those seen on the future 1701-D in "Future Imperfect".

If anyone wants to try a crack at this in 3D, please let me know!

I like that kind of bridge, but ~not~ for the Cheyenne-Class/Excelsior-Class (Refit). The only changes I'd make is to reduce the Helm/Flight-Op's to a one-seat (Intrepid-Class / Prometheus-Class) model rather than the current two-seat (Galaxy-Class) arrangement. I *love* the NX-Class type rear M.S.D. / M.A.C.O. Tactical Command area, don't change that ~at all~. I *love* the Defiant-Class style Captain's-Chair. Don't change that either. I could see this bridge more for the smaller vessels such as Cyrille "Tachy" Lefevre's Hornet-Class / Defiant-Class upgrade. Or, perhaps for the upgraded ("Sovereign-ized") Galaxy III-Class from the USS Miranda database or the Courageous-Class from the Bridge Commander Universe site & forums.

Yeah, well, I designed this to be the bridge of the Cheyenne-Class in my story. As for the CONN/OPS being a one-seat station... I hated Voyager's CONN station... it looked big, bulky, and fugly. Plus, this bridge belongs in the 4th season of TNG.

I always have loved the defiant's Captain's chair, that's why I included that here.

Also, if someone is willing to take this on as a high-quality 3D render, then I am totally willing to offer $$$ for it.

Well, this bridge could also use a Raven-Class CONN station, as I've always hated over-complicated designs with more personnel on the bridge than *absolutely* necessary. It could make a wonderful standard "Battle Bridge" design as well, buried into the heart of the ship just forward or aft of the M/ARA chamber on the Main Engineering deck.

Well, as this is a 3rd/4th season TNG bridge, I'm using TNG style consoles/stations... I absolutely hate the Voyager/Raven/Pasteur style CONN stations because they are bulky and don't fit very well with the general decor of this bridge. Remember, I'm going for a look almost identical to the Brittain, with a bit of Sutherland thrown in.
