my attempt at Perspective starship rooms, experimental

JimP

I saw the discussion on 3D starships and decided to look over Perspectives and see what I could quickly come up with. Note that I did this about 6 AM my time... I'm not exactly awake.

First pic is wide view, I used too big of a template. I used different wall types to see what they look like. The gray walls are listed as metal in Perspectives wall selector.

edited a few typos.

edit: maybe not so vague attempt, so I took the word 'vague' out of the subject.

close up of the room with furniture. I'm using the window as a multi-view screen . Food and dishes on the table.

A close up of the exits. Couldn't find a metal spiral staircase. The floor hatch is for a storage area, not drawn. The stairs should probably look better if they were an escalator.

JimP

a better closeup of the room. I think a good looking starship could be made using Perspectives.

Okay, I admit, I don't always see the obvious.

Some of the Annual Isometric Dungeon symbols work with this. The crates, tables, chairs, work just fine.

JimP

more detail. Mismatched walls. The different crate symbols... well, they came from different planets otherwise they would look identical.

Sorry, if I'm a it harsh here, but it doesn't really work as a starship interior - at least I would not recognize it as such, if I didn't knew it.

It can serve as a substitute of course if the important thing is the general layout.

JimP

Not harsh at all.

But I think with more correct symbols, it would work. I could use it now as a general layout method so I can keep track of how the decks fit together as you mentioned.

Lots of work needed on new symbols... no time for me to do that though.

For my starship site, the one big one I'm drawing, you've seen the 3D outside hull version in here, could have areas used as rooms for people who prefer caves for homes. I can use the Isometric Dungeons annual from this year to create those. Some of the crates above are from that annual.

edit:

I'm going to look over this page: http://star.drivein-jim.net/articles/50/deck-plan-changes and see if I can use Perspectives to better show the layout. Maybe work with Annual 8 as well. I'll be taking vacation next week, so maybe I'll have time to work on this more than just awhile this evening.
