Finally, the conversion of SeanR's TOS Bridge to Poser is complete and online.

The mesh has been optimized for Poser, including splitting the necessary vertices so it renders without over-smoothing in P4, although the materials are generally designed for P6+. A turbolift has been added, along with a curved corridor outside the bridge that can be seen when the exit door at the front is opened - both that and the lift door can be opened and closed and have limits applied so they don't slide out of the model :blink:.

The model also includes the Automatic Defense Module, seen in the TAS episode "Beyond the Farthest Star."

That's awesome, dude. It makes me wish I had Poser.

Excellent work. Pity there aren't more poser conversions:cry:Still I thank you for all the effort you put in and I can certainly use this

Great work. I hope to find the time to use it soon.

Very nice. Would be nice if someone did a full Poser bridge of the D7 cruiser.

Very nice indeed. Though I wish for a movie era bridge more, this one is a great set too.

Perhaps these are what you are looking for?

Those look really nice, but they are in MAX format. Those would be perfect for me if they were Lightwave or Poser. I think somewhere I may have a Lightwave fan-made bridge that is close to movie-era.

Well, as long as their owner has no objections I can convert them to Poser.
I already have to an extent as I use them in Carrara...and Carrara is only a couple of degrees away from Poser.

I converted them with Deep Exploration 5.5 and scaled them up to the M3, V4 & Poser figures.

They're fantastic sets and will be seen in the Trek animation I am knee deep in putting together.

That would be awesome. I currently have nothing that supports MAX format directly (the mesh converters I do have are from when MAX was still a very exclusive file format). I've been on the sidelines too long :( hehe, still working primarily with Lightwave 5.6 and Poser 4 Pro...though I do have Lightwave 7.5, I did not like all of the changes to the interface and file access features.

Well, I do a lot of conversions because while I do use LWO and Max, my app of choice is Carrara. I don't think like an animator but more like a film director and Carrara works with my mental work flow. So - since there aren't any killer Trek meshes native to it I have to convert them all.

It'll take me a few days to get it all in order because I an knee deep in doing rotoscoping for a fan film. I want to get my shots for them done a.s.a.p then I'll be able to do the bridges. In the mean time I'll make sure it's ok with their author.
