    Turbosquid has some. Range from what appears to be very low poly to better quality [and pricey of course].

    If you want a squished sphere Click Here ;-)

    That was too easy, but yes DS9. This is just a base room. I was working on the windows and doors. But I plan on doing Ops, cargo bay, Promenade deck, Quarks, sick bay, crew rooms, hollo sweet, Bagoren temple, and a few others. If anyone saw there is a new shuttle bay at Vanishing Point, more coming soon and a freebee set to come soon.

    Question to all: would you guys be interested in a bridge design contest, where you enter a design and winner get the design mage and given out as freebee?

    Might be fun, how's we send in a design, what format? o.o

    Oh, if you are making other ship sets, would a TOS Romulan bridge, Constitution set seen in "Mirror Darkly", store rooms or Engine pod interior on a Galaxy, ever be in consideration for future projects?

    Never used Daz before (only 3DS Max) but wanted to experiment with it so downloaded the freebie Studio 4.6. I have a few noob questions re: fitting costumes etc, but was wondering whether best to get advice here or go to Nuts N' Bolts or some other help/beginner thread. I'm really only interested in the Trek stuff, hence why posted here. Thanks in advance.

    The blue and white ones they used in ST:TMP.

    Edit: I thought they were blue and white- but I guess it's black and white.

    Of course, the armored personnel in "The Search for Spock" wore the same styled protection as the security guards in "The Motion Picture". The tunics and pants were simply dyed a reddish hue.

    Sincerely,

    Bill

    presious eh ...

    "all" dots must be attached to line intersections.
    There shall be no overlapping of face normals.
    Triangles are big on the hit list too.

    "head" is "one bone" ... so the main object is simply called "head".
    The "entire" helmet is "one piece" and to be nicely uvmapped "in bounds".

    for any clothing on the body ... first made "one piece", nicely uvmapped "in bounds"
    Then grouped ... each group named EXACTLY as is each bone of the figure.
    Each group covers the same basic area as does the figure it's to be rigged for.

    Clothing needs to be high poly so the bones have something to move around without the mesh looking like splinters.

    Grab that M4 blank .cr2 that's around somewhere ... load it into the Geometries of D/S Figure/Skeleton Tab.
    Slide it over to the 'figures'
    Set it for Legacy Rigging.
    Create figure.
    Then in Geometries load the helmet. [which you have stored in your subfolder under Runtime > Geometries]
    Slide it over to the figure where the number for head should change from 0 to 1.
    Carefully delete all the bones EXCEPT the neck which shall be as a ghost bone.
    Rename the figure to helmet whatever.
    Check the box to have it replace the mesh and then create the helmet figure.
    Colour it as you please using the Surface Tab. [any textures must be in your subfolder under Runtime > textures]
    Using the Joint Editor, carefully adjust the bend, side and twist options as applicable.
    Then export out a .cr2 file to your subfolder under Characters under libraries under the Runtime in which you had put your geometries for the clothing in your subfolder under Geometries in the first place.


    Then close D/S and open it. Load the m4 blank and repeat using the whatever you're calling the jacket part ... and repeat ... deleting all bones not being used EXCEPT one up [probably neck] and one down.

    'cause presious kinda busy right now

    unless of course you have another presious in mind in which, nm.

    Which figures are you designing these for? My library only goes as far as V4 and M4. With all the computer problems I've been having, Genesis isn't an option.

    Just a quick request, if I may - I am in search of a phaser pistol prop of the TNG / Voyager / Nemesis era. I did not see one in the list at the beginning of the thread. Can anyone direct me toward such a prop, either free or for sale? I'd be ever so grateful! :) Thanks in advance.

    im building them for m4 and v4 . i figured you prolly wouldnt have any of your main v3 or m3 characters as security grunts but i also think that if for some reason i can get these to work out right as figures wardrobe wizard should convert them to be of use with the 3's
