A >small< ship, but still no stars to steer her by

[classicdrogn]

Since the momentum is in that direction I'm currently working on the bridge, having fiddled with the carpet pictue and cloned some areas to make it square with the focal point (well, the round part of the musical note, but it's the obvious place for the captain's chair) closer to the center and imported it on a plane since Blender has a no-massing-around import addon for that, and now I've given it a big old sun-hat of a domed ceiling which I'm about to start cutting up and recoloring into the sunburst pattern. To that end, I found a couple better images of the Buffalo NY council chamber roof, in these blog posts:

They've got different sky light conditions that bring out diferent details in each image, and there's lots of other pretty snapshots on each post so I'll just leave the links here.

I'll see about rendering it when I finish or get tired and stop for the night, though the foward end looks a little tight around the viewscreen at the moment since I haven't cut up the floor plane to lower it from the highest, aft platform level. The dome fits into the space much better than I feared it might and looks good even bare, so plenty of cheer around here.

edit: A third source has one that's even better for my purposes, but not quite as pretty overall: http://bluedharma-blog.tumblr.com/image/48668976263
