Donny's Late TNG Era Interiors

Though we don't get as clear a look at them, there's also the status displays outside the escape pods, which can been seen in some of the screencaps here and here.

edit: ...one of which 137th Gebirg just posted above. It looks like the displays just to the left of the doors are probably CRTs. And for whatever reason, they've slapped the static plexi TNG door buttons right in the middle of the control panel.
After doing some screencap studies, it looks like the displays to the left of each escape pod doors are CRTs, and the leftmost display is this screen:

And you can see that the smaller "doorbell" static TNG door buttons are to the left of it. So there's both the larger doorbell plexi and the smaller one added to the same LCARS display.

The rightmost display seems to simply indicate the status of the escape pod, with both "Escape Pod Available" and "Launched" visible in the screencaps.
 
I wonder - does the Jefferies Tube on the other side of that wall curve like the corridor which proceeds it?
And if not - why not!? :biggrin:

Damn, I was antialiasing stuff way before that movie came out. Jaggie central!
 
Love what you did with those removable panels!
Must be just due to how big the corridors themselves are, but those Jefferies access doors look tiny.

What did I do? I just followed what I saw in screencaps!


The "handle" is a bit of conjecture, but you can see a circular disc underneath dying guy mid-assimilation, and there's a shot right after (that I don't have handy, pardon the pun) that shows Picard grabbing that same area and pulling his corridor panel closed behind him. The exact design of this "handle" is unknown, but I think I guessed well.

And yeah, I think the Sovereign tubes are the most cramped versions of the Jefferies tubes we've seen, so their hatches also follow suit ;) But rest assured, I measured appropriately using the schematics of the tubes publicly available.

Probably so it wouldn't be as feasible for the Borg to follow them into the tubes. Except in Engineering where they were holding their Rave

Great work on these!

Oh I wasn't doubting for a second that you created it as accurately as it'll ever be; it was just an observation of the cramped design and how much it contrast with the huge corridor, mostly notable on the wall end version. :)
 
If you do the Jefferies Tubes, note that some of the wall panels are the same as used in the Captain's Yacht in Insurrection and also showed up on Enterprise. Also, I think Enterprise reused the round tubes as well.

I just made note of both of those things yesterday when gathering reference for more sets! Thanks!
 
The Jefferies junction was also used rather extensively for Star Trek: Borg. While the video quality isn't the best, it was shot with a ton of light for the game, so it might be useful.
See here around 17:25 and for several minutes afterwards.
 
Fantastic work as usual Donny! When you first started this project, the FC - Nem interiors were close to my least favorite trek interior. To me they seemed so maroon - to the point it was overwhelming. But after seeing your amazing work on, I am loving them now!! You have brought to life details I never really noticed before.

Am I remembering correctly that the FC - Nemesis interiors (bridge, corridors and engineering at least) were struck and rebuilt each film (as opposed to being left standing like the TMP sets through the TOS films and TNG (more or less)? I though I read that somewhere but I can’t remember where. If so, they seem to be remarkable consistent from film to film (voyagers corridors in insurrection notwithstanding).

Hey, thanks for that! I'm definitely intimidated by the lack of reference for these Jefferies corridors, so any reference will help! The tubes I have schematics for, but there's shockingly little in regards to the "corridors".

Yeah, learning about these corridors has given me a new appreciation for them. To me, they're a perfect evolution of what was set before. The "hotel in space" look from TNG but more refined and robust. They have a regal luxury to them, fitting of the name "Sovereign" and a flagship. I particularly like all the hatches, those have been fun to figure out and model.

That would make sense, but I don't know for sure. The corridor sets consisted of two sets in First Contact: the bit outside engineering (yes, with a small second level, I've come to confirm) and the "main deck" which I've been focusing on in the images above. In Insurrection, this "main deck" is gone. The engineering corridor set is there, appropriately still connected to Engineering, but has been modified enough in layout in some places to suggest that the sets were at least in a deconstructed state between films. And a small stretch of corridor has been rebuilt outside of the bridge that lead to the observation lounge which served as a banquet hall in that film. In Nemesis, we can see that at least part of the corridors outside engineering were there, and the shootout scenes in the corridor towards the end of the film are possibly part of the engineering corridor set, but in a different configuration (and different Jefferies tube access) than we've seen before. So, yeah. Enough differences to suggest that the sets were in a deconstructed state between films. But I cannot confirm this.
 
ST9 has a great many quick edits in the corridor scenes: It seems likely that the extensive corridor network around the ST8 Engine Room was probably mostly dismantled in between movies, hence the additional use of VOY's corridor set
New sections seem to have been built for ST10 though
