Halcyon Bridge Final Test Render
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 бер 2024
- This is the final test render of the bridge. Most of the work was improving the quality of the console screen textures and improving the general render quality. Had a pesky issue with noise in the carpet that took a while to get rid of. I also decluttered the HUD. The HUD will need to be recreated for final production as this is just a cobbled together placeholder. Attention now turns to finishing the captain character. The custom uniform is going to take some time and effort.

This is what a bridge should look like
where is the water below it then.............sorry :)
I like this bridge design and love the full wall height viewscreen - reminds me of the large TNG one
I thought it was too busy at first, but pivoted when I considered that it's a small bridge. And yet it's still very clean looking. Overall, I like it.
The things I don't care for are the bezel trim lighting, but it's not too that bad I guess. And the console behind the Captain... That works well with a ship like a Galaxy class because of the multi-level, but this is just someone hovering within less than a meter of the Captain... It's just too close...
Otherwise, I quite like it. No lights in your face. Simple. Not needlesslessy oversized. The helm and conn are elegant. I even don't mind the insanely large main viewer (or is it a window?).
Now that is the future. Love this bridge design.
I always thought why do they not have the bridge in a holodeck and sit in a full IMAX style 360 surround environment, instead of looking as some stupid screen on the wall... Enders game was much more sensible.
this is what the 32nd century starship bridges should have looked like.
Didn't know a bridge could be sexy yet here it is!
Amazing!
Very nice!
Looks amazing... Dunno about you but if I were the Ops or Navigation stationed at those two front stations, I'd feel a little... 'exposed to the elements'!! Agorophobics (or any human with a healthy fear of floating in open space) need not apply! 😝🤣🤣🤣
This looks amazing - fantastic work!
Nice.
Wow, solid work! Need to see more😎👍
Great design. It is a bit too modern for me to evoke Star Trek, but it is a nice bridge concept, new and still somewhat familiar. I especially like the consoles. Good work!
Too modern in what capacity?
I remember people complaining about Enterprise and Discovery looking "too advanced" as if Star Trek was ever supposed to look retro at any point in its existence.
Think Enterprise J era.
@@johnw2026 We know nothing about what the J-era looks like, except for the horrendously ugly ship that doesn't deserve the name.
oh an enhanced vew screen, one step closer to the very superior 1701-D stellar cartography´s view screen
Check out the latest video on this channel. That's pretty much the direction i'm heading in.
Maybe enlarging it a little, but definitely getting the next step in bridge designs ala 28th century vibe
What class of ship is the halycon?
The Halcyon is a Sojourn class starship.
Very very compact as bridges go. Doesn't feel like it has a lot of elbow room. And it goes right up to the edge with the view screen, a very Infinity Pool style bridge. Still the control interfaces and consoles look very clean and their thinness makes them seem even more advanced than the late 24th century aesthetic, though maybe....fragile looking? Or they could be as tough as a Sharp Aquos.
Another glass bridge? What damage Star Trek Online's Odyssey class has done.
I never played Star Trek online, sorry. Enterprise D is a glass bridge with a 3D view screen.

I know that the deck where the bridge is, is made to be modular, that is to say that all that area that goes, from the bridge, its exterior to its level, which has observation windows for emergencies and the part of the dorsal sensors (the upper sensors), was created as if it were a single one to be able to replace the bridge to different configurations that each Galaxy class could need or that eventually improvements could give instead of changing that part of the ship. Not like in the previous ships, in which the dorsal navigation sensors (the upper ones) were even above the bridge, to provide additional armor to the bridge itself. We could argue if the position for such a vital section of the ship is the most suitable, but that is part of the idiosyncrasy of starfleet, but the core of the bridge always remains with a more reinforced armor than the rest of the hull sections, simply because of that importance (since you grant the enemy a more than possible advantage, don't bend it).All this, in addition to additional systems of strength, shields, life support... that would allow the bridge to serve as a kind of lifeboat for 72 hours even if the rest of the ship's sections were compromised in the event of a total disaster.
And yes, and the rest of the areas at bridge level, such as the captain's office, surround the bridge, giving windows, from which you can observe the space and orient yourself in case of extreme need.
But the bridge, the actual bridge, remains in the centre of the whole of that deck, protected not only by the outer shielding of the entire observation area that surrounds it, but also by the addition of armor between that part and the enclosed core of its bridge, which, although it occupies a height and a quarter (less really). Externally it also rises even more in that part, maintaining the armored shell of the bridge.
The only point that could also seem transparent, is just the area above the captain's platform, but first, if so, we would have to see how many layers of transparent alloys are there, separated from each other from force fields or although in the movie generations, there was also structural damage up there (for example, when Picard and Riker are in that section in the captain's office, on the bridge, it is seen that the bulkhead between the two rooms is really thick and melted, which is also not consistent with the damage received either during the battle or in the "landing" of the primary hull. And if that inner part has received such extensive damage, it is to be presumed that the outermost part may have received even more).
But even in the most favorable case, we're not talking about extensive sections of the bridge laid out as if they were a macro observation deck.
If I were a crewman, of course, I wouldn't feel safe on that bridge at all... and even less, with the part that can be glimpsed of the thickness of the bridge where it joins the opaque area of the bridge. If there were at least thick nerve knots separating that transparent area into several parts, perhaps I could have some assurance that there are multiple energy fields ready for emergencies, but that configuration shown would terrify me unless it is simply a yacht.
Another thing if you told me that all this is a huge screen and that behind it and the rest of the bridge there is a reinforced manparo of several meters of very high-strength alloy, then I would marvel at the sight.
And sorry, the other glass bridge, is because in a short time apart from this one I saw the Star Ship simulator, which practically comes to have that aspect that is not reconcilable with what is supposed to be or should be a Star Trek bridge.
Glass? Are we talking about the viewscreen? If memory serves that started with The Konnie (Kelvin Constitution).
@@3Rayfire No, by glass bridges, I don't mean the main screen, but those designs where huge sections of the bridge have one or more huge windows directly in the bridge area (for example in Star Trek Online the Odyssey class on its bridge has windows, one in front and others huge in the dome of the bridge. In Starship Simulator, unfortunately, some of its designs have sections that are either huge or many of them with large windows.
I don't care about the main data screens, what I care about are "glazed" sections of the bridge (even if they are made of transparent alloys) in an area as vital as the bridge itself, there may be sections of it that are surrounded by spaces with windows, as happens in the Galaxy class, but the bridge, the real bridge, in the tradition of Star Trek, It should be armored under a more reinforced structure than the rest of the hull. That there is a main screen inside, As big as it is, welcome. In this design, the question is whether the screen occupies half of the bridge (I have no problem with it as long as the rest of the on-board systems can be monitored from the bridge, so that their officers analyze the information and pass it on to the captain), or if really almost half of the bridge is a glazed area (with transparent alloys of course) more representative of a pleasure yacht than of a ship who can watch fights.
And you may be right that it is Jar Jar Abrams' enterprise that is the first to show that weakness, because looking at a couple of drawings, it seems that behind the main screen, there is a huge window that occupies that position. But come on, Jar Jar Abrams, he had always despised Star Trek before directing that film and as he demonstrated in it, as well as in the Star Wars films he has directed, his thing is not to know or how space works, even how physics works in reality or the particularities in both franchises.
The Galaxy class bridge does have a skylight.
