I've spent the last few nights modeling, texturing, and creating the graphics for the Enterprise-E turbolift, since I want my eventual bridge tour video to start out in one of the turbolifts.
This turbolift was a redressed version of the turbolift built for TMP, which was also redressed and used in TFF and TUC as the Enterprise-A turbolift, and GEN as the Enterprise-B turbolift.
We get to see an early version of the turbolift display graphic briefly in FC...
...but it was given an upgrade and featured heavily, and dynamically, in Insurrection. We get to see videos play on the screen of the turbolifts moving through a schematic of the ship, which was a slightly modified version of Doug's MSD.
I've decided (at least for now) to forgo creating the FC version in favor of the more elaborate version we see in INS (Note: I'm not going to do separate FC and INS versions of every set, the turbolift being one of those not making the cut. I'm reserving doing separate versions of just the bridge and, eventually, engineering. I may change my mind about the turbolift later...we'll see).
And here are some screenshots of the finished turbolift:
The turbolift features a working red alert indicator above the main display...
...and a directory you can cycle through (text is placeholder for now)
We get to see the very top portion of this directory in INS:
My guess it was created to cover the hole where this oddly retro computer monitor was in TFF...
The game Elite Force 2 featured the directory as well, albeit with a few extra "decks" per page than I could fit on the dimensions I came up with:
Annnnnd (trumpet sound) I've created a demonstration of the animation of the lift going from the bow of the ship to the bridge, which I will use in the eventual bridge tour video. You can see it below here, albeit without sound:
Later, once I flesh out more "decks", I plan on making the turbolift interactive, complete with proper videos of the turbolift moving through the schematic on the display.
