General Work in Progess

The Bridge

Been working on the bridge. The pilot and copilot terminals are larger in the deck plans. Anyway, this is my intrepretation.

Had to redo the windows, and I think these look good, in my purely unbiased opinion :)

Both Gunner positions and the pilots, from the Bridge Emergency Locker.
(Which seems a good place to keep the ship's small arms locker)

And here is a view of the locker. The red blocky things are stand in for people

I just needed something semi human shaped to work out the seats and ergonomics. Eventually they will be replaced by actual people once I get it in world

Final version of the yoke, I am a bit fat headed about it



I think it came out quite well.

Thanks for the hint on displaying images.
 
Further work on the bridge





I am only using 150 passes, these are test renders. I could kill the noise if I upped it to like 1000, but I have a lack of patience at this stage

Hope that yoke can move up a bit - looks a bit uncomfortable at that level, and better hope the inertial compensators are working for a quick decelleration :)

edit: after looking again, and then sitting in a chair with arms, it is not as bad as I thought. Carry on!
 
Latest Bridge shots



I like how the leather came out



And also experimenting with diamond deck in the engine room. Not that happy with it, as it is terrible on the knees



Engine Room, looking through upper cargo deck toward crew's commons.


And from the Commons, toward the bridge

Another shot from the commons into the bridge.



this may seem a bit repetitive, and reminds me abit of the relatives boring vaction slides, but I just would like to chronical the progress somewhere in public.
 
Needed to make some bits and bobs for the ship:



This is a keyboard. I need a more complete Vilani font. Anyone have any ideas?

Major milestone

This is a picture of the me, standing on the nose of the main hull mesh object at the airfield on Mare Drakonis, my Discovery Grid sim.

Discovery Grid is an Open Sim grid. Open Sim is an open source version of the simulation software used by Linden Labs to create Second Life. Many creators use Open Sim's free uploads to prototype and test builds before uploading to Second Life.
