Akyazi Engineering
Here is the interior of the engineering section of my Akayzi class USS McCook. It closely follows the deck plans from the book Ships of the Star Fleet, Volume 2 by Todd Guenther, but I’ve made minor deviations to fit my slightly altered version-
Main Intermix Shaft-Facing Fwd
Close-up- Main Intermix Shaft
Close Up of Main Console
Engineering: Facing Starboard-Aft
Early Experiment with Intermix Plasma Textures
How did you do the interior of the warp core? I’m looking to do that and I’ve yet to figure out how.
At first I used Photoshop to create some interesting patterns (not sure if those images are up) but eventually I used a freeware program called Apophysis to create some neat abstract fractal images. I altered the images further in photoshop to get the colors and textures I wanted (actually inverted them I think to turn the black to white) and then just used them to UV map the cylinder at the center of the intermix shaft. It might even be possible to render an animation of some sort for the same purpose, but I wouldn’t know where to begin with that.

This is where I got the Apophysis program. It’s been forever since I used it though, and it took a LOT of experimentation.
Edit: I put up the earlier image with the older intermix plasma texture. I actually still like that one very much and use it in other engineering areas.
Wonderfully done. Do you have anything of the bridge done that you could post? I would love to see that!
Thanks again. I never finished the bridge I started for the Akyazi class, but I’ll see if I can scramble up a few of the images I might have done early on.
