Just another LCARS

[deif]

hi
just another LCARS - Impulse Drive System. It's a result of the MSD graphics by the way. enjoy.

greetings from the swiss alps

[M@DM@X]

not bad, really like the work you guys put into these

[Captain Elgy]

Nice work deif. I especially like the diagram of the Impulse Engine, It looks very similar to something I've seen in the DS9 Tech Manual.

Great stuff, need I say more!! !lol

[deif]

just another lcars graphic!
it's a display of the stars on and near sector 001 based on real stars.
it shows clearly the problem of the missing 3th dimension in star trek graphics. e.g., *if you look on the 2d projection disk you will see babel (wolf 424) close to sol - but in reality it is 14ly away! but this will be revealed only in the 3d display.
all habited systems are marked with a 2ly wide sphere - blue for the worlds of the federation and yellow for indepentend worlds.
hope, you'll enjoy it.

btw. wish you all merry christmas and a happy, peaceful new year!

greetings from the swissalps!

[LCARS 24]

Very smooth!

BINARY STAR

[deif]

thnax. corrected version:

[LCARS 24]

Fixed. Good.

[Capt. Kaiser]

these are awsome Dief :)

[deif]

and here follows two more lcars graphics:
quantum torpedo modification and type 9 shuttle status. they are from a fan film project i'm actually working for.
hope, there are some people out there to enjoy it!

[Captain Elgy]

Looks really good deif, I really like the Nemesis styled LCARS colours. The Quantum Torpedo Screen is my favourite looks like something from the TNG Tech manual.

Good job, and nice to see you posting again dude!! !lol

[deif]

thanx for the kind words, capt.elgy.
like to visit this side and hope always, there will be a little bit more traffic....;-)
january is very busy time for me, so i had less opportunity to work in graphics. now I look forward to my holidays - skiing in the beautiful swiss alps resort....

Cool.... Quite literally!!

Emjoy the good life my friend, and keep those LCARS coming they look excellent!!. *:)

[deif]

by the way
a possible keyboard for LCARS consoles. nemesis colorscheme. enjoy.

[LCARS Studio]

Woa: Cool. I need a touchscreen for try it :-D

[deif]

yeah, simple things are always the best.
iwould love to see this wrking on a touchscreen.

[LCARS 24]

Love that Type 9.

And the keyboard. It reminds me of that photo of J.J. Abrams on the new Enterprise set but also the Atari 400 (1979), which had diaphram keys.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y247/LCARS24user/Atari.jpg

[deif]

that atari pic is gorgous! 1979 you said? looks like people in this time where much more enthusiastic in terms of future visions then today....

[deif]

and here is the lcars keyboard with the dvorak layout. soembody was asking to use this layout as well.

[deif]

important federation colonies #001
i was playing around with lunarcell under photoshop and there this idea was born: to *create a serie of the important federation colonies. first of all. Alpha Centauri iV, also called New Montana according to Mermory Alpha. Alpha Centauri was one of the first human colonies around 2060 in Star Trek and also one of the founding members of the Federation. Zefram Cochrane moved to this planet and named a lot of places there. in the 24th century New Montana is the place of the Cochrane Institute, the main science and developing center for warp technologies.

i will continue this serie occasionally and hope, you'll enjoy this lcars graphic!

[deif]

#2 The Vega Colony
and here follows the next major colony- the vega colony
"As of the 23rd century, Vega IV was home to over 5 billion Humans and served as a major trade port between neighboring star systems. Vega IV's nightlife is also known to be amongst the most festive and exciting in the Alpha Quadrant.
Most of the planets population live in the developed northern continent, whilst the southern continent has been left undeveloped so that scientists could continue to study the ruins and discover about the planet's original inhabitants." (FASA sourcebook: The Federation).
so i came to the reason, as an important trade point, the planet must have some orbital stations and made him the home of the federation office of trade relations.
hope, you'll enjoy it!

[LCARS 24]

That's beautiful, Deif. Calendars should look that good.

[deif]

thanx, bill. i appreciate that very much.

[deif]

#3 The Izar Colony
here follows the third colony file: the izar colony in the epsilon bootis system, a double star system with an orange giant and a bluewhite dwarf star. distance to the earth 210ly.. the izar colony was founded 2183 and in the 24th century it's known for his meteorologic institute and the starfleet tactical school.
i gave the planet one moon and a tiny ring, the remnant of a big ice asteroid, destroyed by gravitional forces. *a good place for tactical training, i suppose.
i hope, you'll enjoy this.

[LCARS Studio]

Very good deif!!

[deif]

#4 Casperia Prime

and here follows casperia prime, a wonderful blue and ringed world. casperia primeis also callled "the vacation capital in the horvian cluster". casperia prime was mentioned twice in DS9.
i gave the planet one moon "anula" and called the capital "riete nuovo", according to the real city casperia in italy in the riete area.
i hope, you'll enjoy it and more to come here.

[LCARS 24]

Nice. Isn't that where Bashir was going to go for a medical conference but was prevented from leaving by Section 31?

I keep using that duranium color #336699 to tone down some details of cutaways, but I haven't tried it on LCARS brackets yet.

[deif]

yeah, it's that planet you mean. it's also the same planet where jadzia dax and worf had planned to get married.
thanx for the comment, bill.

[deif]

#5 Cestus III
another colony from ds9 - cestus III . cestus is a planet near the border to the gorn hegemony and has faced several conflicts with them. in the 24th century, cestus gave room for a quarter million of displaced people from the cardassian conflict.
cestus reinvented the old earth sport baseball and became very popular with his basebal league. the cpaital is pike city. nanietta bacco from cestus III was elected 2380 as president of the federation of the united planets.
hope you'll enjoy it.

[LCARS 24]

All nice-looking planets. Ferenginar might be a challenge, because of the widespread heavy rain, and maybe constant snow in the polar regions, with a few clear spots.

I just looked at the impulse engine again. I guess I should draw them more like that.

[deif]

#6 The Altair Colonies

two planets surrounding the big white sun altair (alpha aquilae) - altair IV and VI - and belongs to the first colonies of mankind.

altair IV was several times mentioned in ST in context with medical facilties, so i gave them this facility. the planet became colonizied after the colonization of altair VI.

altair VI is regarded as an excellent shore leave location and an important planet within the Federation. it has ruins of an ancient civilization from high archaelogical interest.
as altair IV declared independence in 2267, a brief conflict sparked and ended by federation peacekeeping forces. in 2285, the government on altair VI continued to govern both worlds pending a resolution from the federation diplomatic corps.
the waters of altair VI are rich in natural minerals that are renowned for their medicinal properties.

as part of the kobayashi maru scenario at starfleet academy, it was claimed that the spacecraft kobayashi maru had just left altair VI.

i hope, you' ll enjoy this both worlds!

[deif]

#7 Deneva Prime
deneva prime is a planet located in the kap for-system and was founded at 2140. *the mineral rich asteroid belt provided a strong mining business and brought wealth into the system. at deneva prime federation researchers first discovered the energy-channeling properties of dilithium.
in the 23th century a disease striked deneva prime and decimated the population dramaticly. *
two denevans served as presidents of the united federation of planets.

hope, you'll enjoy this.

[LCARS 24]

I was just wondering how these could go together with something like the Bravo Fleet Trekiverse star map. One way is to show them as insets on a scrolling map. For a Web site, it could be done so that people click on a planet on the map to see one of your displays.

[deif]

if you have a concrete project like this, let mde know, what you need...

[deif]

#8 Mars Colony

last but not least we have to focus on our own solar system. there are two human colonies - one of them is mars.
mars war colonisied in 2103, got to soem confilcts and processes of independance. but at the end it became a meber of ufp.
the major and most famous facility on mars is starfleet yard utopia planitia at a geostationary orbit over the same anottated region of mars.

enjoy!

[deif]

#9 lunar colonies
the moon was the first aim to get colonisied in the late 21th century. as a major human settlement, luna falls under federation jurisdiction and protection. in the 24th century, there are over 50 million people living on the moon and it possess even an artificial lake called lake armstrong.
copernicus fleet yard is as starfleet facility in orbit over the moon.
there is presumably a large vulcanis lunar colony as well on earth trabant.

enjoy!

[deif]

#10 Aldebaran Colony

Aldebaran III is one of the earliest Federation-founded colonies.

The Colony was admitted into the United Federation of Planets in 2216.
Aldebaran is a major port for Federation shipping as an administrative and supply center.
In 2224, the Olympic Games were held on Aldebaran III.
The planet is also home to Starfleet's New Aberdeen Naval Yards in addition to several private shipywards. (Memory Beta)

enjoy!

[deif]

#11 Sirius Colony

Sirius III is a major cultural and administrative center of the United Federation of Planets. In 2364, the planet was a member of the Federation Security Council; its ambassador to the Federation Council was James Kara.
The Sirius Cybernetics Corporation originated in this system
Sirius III was also called Alpha III or Terra Four.

enjoy!

[deif]

#12 Sherman's Planet
sherman's planet is a m-class world near the klingon border and was colonisied by both powers federation and klingons. the planet has a population of 98 mio. humans, and 116.2 mio. klingons by circa 2380. besides having a split Human/Klingon population, the planet also has two capitals, Port Emily and Ka'Hat.

hope, somebody enjoy this!

[LCARS 24]

All very cool.

[deif]

#13 Tarsus IV
tarsus IV is a m-class planet in the beta quadrant, the 4th of five planets in the tarsus-system. 2246 it became famous after an incident, as an exotic fungus destroyed the half of the food supplies of the colony. in an act for which history has dubbed the governor from tarsus IV as kodos the executioner, he ordered the "less necessary" half of the colonists be put to death.
among the victims was hoshi sato, the 117-year-old inventor of the linguacode translation matrix, retired to tarsus IV to live with colonist family members. They, too, were among the executed. (source memory alpha and beta).

i hope, you'l enjoy this lcars-graphic too.

[LCARS 24]

I was with Hoshi at that time. We were both ruled "less necessary" and executed. I was around 300, and our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren were all away when that happened.

[deif]

LOL- you didn't look this age, bill....!
the information originate at memory beta. though, it's an interesting detail.

[deif]

as a byproduct from the grandeur pooltable i had to draw aoem detiails and used them for some LCARS graphics. here are the warp coil and the gravity generator.

enjoy.

[LCARS 24]

Very strong illustrations. I should add these and your impulse drive assembly to the LCARS 24 library, if that's okay with you.

[deif]

it' s a privilege to be in your lcars 24 library , bill. go ahead...

[LCARS 24]

Okay, thanks on behalf of all the users.

Here's how the gravity generator would be displayed:

http://img372.imageshack.us/img372/6384/gglcua4.th.png (http://img372.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gglcua4.png)

I hope that's accurate. I spotted this (it's from Star Trek: The Magazine):

http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/8985/grav20plating201sj4.th.jpg (http://img223.imageshack.us/my.php?image=grav20plating201sj4.jpg)

[LCARS Studio]

Good!!

[deif]

thanx, blll
that's the pics i was looking for....

[LCARS 24]

That article was scanned and posted by A.J. Halliwell on Joe's forum.

Here's the one I was actually looking for to see if there were any further relevant details:

http://www.lcarscom.net/ags.htm

That tells me to make one change:

http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm309/LCARS24/GRAVGEN.png

[deif]

looks great, bill
as you may have noticed, i augmented the generator with the sphere and tube at the outer section and annotated it as damping field emitter. that means, i've combined the gravitiy generator with the damping field system. i think, that both systems are based on graviton fields and therefore you can use the same generaor to generate both fields. just my considerations about this issue.

[deif]

and here follows the warpcore graphic from the Grandeur pooltable
enjoy it with the prevoius graphics

[LCARS 24]

Here's how the warp coil comes out:

http://img501.imageshack.us/img501/5792/coilsfmjf4.th.png (http://img501.imageshack.us/my.php?image=coilsfmjf4.png)

[deif]

another byproduct:
an alternate subspace scan lcars graphic. hope you'll enjoy!

[deif]

and there is on more byproduct of my work for the Grandeur project:
a LCARS display called "perimeter scan" with the USS Grandeur at the center. hope, you'll enjoy thiso ne as well!

[deif]

update:
i changed the titel of the LCARS display from "subspace inversion scan" to "subspace field stress scan" because of the "parametric subspace field stress sensors" onboard starfleet vessels. this is the display for that type of sensors....

[LCARS 24]

They're expecting me to make interactive animations of all these things?!!

[deif]

why not? i don't use fllash - i would like to do it, but haven't the money to buy and the time to learn the app. and the solution with keynote (apples presentation app) has to less possibilities.
if you need something special from me, please let me know - ai-files for example.

[LCARS 24]

Flash doesn't cut it for this. To be done right, it has to be programmed in C. And most people who try to even set up the programming environment for Windows (MinGW plus Allegro plus the various libraries) fail. I have that set up, and even then, I had to write software to make up for some of the shortcomings of those tools. I compiled an LCARS package with it, but Windows is really a bad environment for LCARS. My regular LCARS system is faster and smoother than any software you've ever seen, but the limiting factor is that it requires its own computer--one without Windows. Oh yeah, the Mac OS won't run under Windows, either.

But even so, my Windows-version LCARS, while nowhere near as comprehensive as the regular LCARS 24, is still faster than other Windows software.

If somebody wants to do that in Flash, and you guys are happy with it, that'll save me a lot of work.

[deif]

i^m not an IT specialist. but if you have written it in C, it should be possible to transscribe it to macOS X, as far i know. MacOS X is an Unix BSD based system. there should be someone, who knows how to do that ?

update
i was quickly going into the net and found this: http://cocoadevcentral.com/articles/000081.php
another statement was, if you use QT, you can use your applications crossplatform - windows, mac, linux. just trow my two cents into it.

[deif]

Planetary Data continued # 14 Nimbus III
and here is nimbus III, the "planet of galactic peace" - you remember ST V? yep, that's the planet....

[LCARS 24]

The planets won't be hard to put into an interactive LCARS display. The subspace scans have been done in Flash. You've probably seen them on Adge's LCARS Web stie. For cross-platform stuff, that would involve a lot of time, and I'd have to buy some more computers and possibly commercial software. It's not in the budget, expecially the time. For QT or the like, all my code would have to be translated and then modified to conform to its protocols--big job.

Adge's Flash VOY panels:
http://www.lcars.org.uk/lcarstemplate.htm?Page=lcars_Voyager_panels.htm

Your warp coil and gravity generator made it into the release of LCARS 24, which is up now and being downloaded.

# 15 Norpin V
Norpin V is the fifth palnet in the Norpin system and a famous retirment place. In 2294, Captain Montgomery Scott was due to retire at the Norpin colony but never arrived, because his ship crashed on a Dyson sphere. it's alos the home of the norpin falcon.
enjoy

[deif]

#16 Archer IV
Archer IV is the fourth planet in the Archer system, also known as 61 Ursae Majoris. It was one of two planets named after famous Starfleet explorer Jonathan Archer.
Shortly after the launch of the Enterprise (NX-01) in 2151, the planet was discovered by the ship while they were on a mission to explore a nebula. The crew did not know initially was that much of the native flora and fauna emitted a pollen with toxic levels of tropolisine. Prolonged exposure to the pollen led to humanoids having hallucinations and becoming extremely paranoid.
Because of the presence of the pollen, what would've been an excellent candidate for human colonization unsuitable for settlement at the time of Archer's inital survey of the planet. It would not be until the early 23rd century that humans were able to eliminate the pollen from the planet's surface, and settlement of the planet was able to proceed. By the mid 23rd century, Archer IV became a major Federation colony - with a population of approximately 700 million people.
The planet is the source of the beverage Archerian slug wine.

[deif]

I was studying the pulse phaser technology for a while and also working on a graphic. finally i finished it. here is my *attempt for a pulse phaser schematic. i hope, you'll enjoy it.

[deif]

i did changes on the graphic of the quantum torpedo after some reading. here is the result. hope, you'll enjoy it.

[LCARS 24]

Yes, I do like them, especially the quantum torpedo.

[deif]

#17 Inferna Prime
another important human colony: Inferna Prime. It's mentioned to be the domicile of the federal grand jury, so it seems to be important, isn't it? Inferna prime is 8 days away from deep space 9. with warp 6 or warp 8 it's a distance between 8 to 22 ly.

enjoy.

[Jay Gallego]

blimey some of the best lcars ive seen in years, gd job peeps

[deif]

as a byproduct from the big shuttle msd project this warp field aligment display derivate.

i hope, you'll enjoy it!

[Robert]

Very nice Deif... loved the way you integrate the "red colour" in your scheme. A great original design. Thumbs up my friend.

[deif]

that happens, when starfleet lift the veil over the classidied lcars files! a glimpse of unseen mysteries comes to the light: the lcars graphic of the stolen borg transwarp coil assembly, used onboard the first deltaflyer.
enjoy!

[Robert]

Beautiful graphic there...
looks very accurate and official.

Thanks for posting.

[deif]

the recently detected youngest supernova remnant in our own galaxy (about 140 years old) inspired me to another astrometric lcars-display. the supernova remnant is called g1.9+0.3 and the original picture is taken by the chandra observatory. enjoy

btw. merry christmas and a happy new year to all people here at lcarsc.com!!

[theCommander]

Very nice, Chief!

[deif]

:D thanx, commander
and happy new year to all!* ;D

[deif]

in my work for another project i had to draw several LCARS graphics. here is the first of them: the Lateral Sensor Array. a standard sensor array consists of a series of different pallets.
enjoy!

[Adge]

Deif, these are wonderful, crisp and a good colour balance. Perhaps we could use some of these for our project?*

Enjoy your skiing :)

[deif]

thanx adge
LOL - it's from our project...!! it's part of the science station from the Grandeur bridge - with different colorscheme, as you may know. if you nedd something, let me know.

i really enjoy skiing. we've very good conditions this year- much snow, cold and blue skies....

[deif]

and here follows two more gaphics:
a class II sensor probe schematic and the probe telemetry.
enjoy!

[theCommander]

:o Just incredible work, Chief!! I sent the Science station LCARS to Zack just about an hour ago, so I can't wait to see them in place. I believe he is nearly finished with the helm/nav station and a few others. Thanks!!

As for the Blackfoot Special Ops page for "our project", just refit it for the screen that Adge needs, then that's done.

Both you guys are awesome!

[deif]

and here is another graphic: the computer core. enjoy

[LCARS 24]

Good one, Deif. I'll have to put together a tech page for the computer core.

[Robert]

Amazing work again Deif,
Its like looking at a new version of a Tech Manual, with great resolution. I especially like the sensor array.
Keep posting those wonderful LCARS deif and thanks.

[LCARS 24]

I downloaded the updated quantum torpedo. That should make a nice LCARS 24 tech page.

[deif]

thanx bill

got your mail and the q-torp looks great at lcars24. like to say, that your database looks better and better each time i take a look there. thumbs up, man!

[LCARS 24]

Thank, Deif. It's No. 30 in the Starfleet section, a nice addition.

Quantum Torpedo, image by Deif:
http://lcars24.com/schem30.html

[deif]

and here follows another graphic, inspired by the TNG tech manual. for the specs i used the type XII quad phaser arrays as described for the ship, where i'm acting as proud main chief, teh USS GRANDEUR-A.
hope, you'll enjoy it!

[deif]

as a byproduct of the phaser bank element graphic this close-in weapon system graphic resulted - a CIWS is an autonomous point defense system to detect, track and destroy incoming missiles and torpedos at close range. it's an auxiliary system to the shields. the standard phaser assembly has a spherical emitter head and they are placed all over the shipcraft hull at strategic points.

hope, you'll enjoy it!

[deif]

just did some corrections on the two phaser graphics:

[deif]

in between just for practice another LCARS graphic:
this time a more or less simple from TNG: Star System Mira Antilia
hope, you'll enjoy it!

[Robert]

Wow, thats amazing work.

Not a big fan of TNG LCARS (especially early ones) but this is great.

Thanks for posting.

[deif]

thanx explorer
this graphic has inspired me and* i'm actually at work to use the same scheme for another surprise...... soon here

[deif]

and here comes the next graphic!
following the style of the previous star system graphic i did this one of the sol system. i used the nemesis colorscheme as well and followed the wikipedia informations about the planets.
btw. i used the "new" classification of planets and dwarf planets.
hope, you'll enjoy it!

[Adge]

Deif,

A very nice LCARS graphic indeed.* Was this to do with the orbital tracking you and I spoke about some time back?
Great work.

[deif]

thanx, adge
no, what we' where talking about was the idea to draw the LCARS spinner in 3D - i liked to draw the inner circle with the direction controls as a ball and was asking how to create it in illustrator. thanx anyway.

[deif]

and here follows two graphics more. they are linked with the pervious LCARS Star System graphics:
Mira Antilia V and Sol III.
hope, you'll enjoy it too!

[deif]

and again two more graphics:
the star system 40 eridani-a, also known as Vulcan.
enjoy!

[deif]

after a comment at scifimeshes i've changed the asteroid filed - the fuzzy line. here are the corrected graphics.

[deif]

as a byproduct from several graphics for the USS Grandeur project this graphic. it show's a control monitor of the matter stream surveillance at the pattern buffer in the transporter room.
hope, you'll enjoy it!

[Robert]

Wow,
I love that pattern degradation analysis graphic at the bottom left. The overall graphic is really nice.

As for the vulcan system, the second versions look way better. And I must say your work is getting more and more impressive.

Thanks for posting Deif.

[deif]

and here another two lcars starsystem graphics: this time tellar or 61 cygni. for the planetar schematic is usesd as basic the brilliant planet map from ace at the sfm forum.
hope, you'll enjoy them!

[deif]

did some corrections and changes on the sol system graphics. enjoy!

[deif]

and the next star system i like to cover is Procyon or Andor.* Andoria is a fascinating cold world, because it's the moon of a ringed giant planet in the system. i hope, you'll enjoy this LCARS graphics as well...

[Robert]

I really love these deif, they look so right. The early TNG feel but with a Nemesis color scheme make a perfect match.

Thank you for posting theses

[deif]

thnx, explorer

and here follows the fifth ans sixth LCARS star system graphics: the binary alpha centauri system (rigel kentaurus and quindar). it's also the fifth founding member world of the federation.

as you may realize, i've tried to combine scientific and fictional facts for this graphics. for the alpha centauri system i did several researches and i suggest to put al rijil as the homeworld of the centaurans (former humans) and centaurus -also known as the "alpha centauri colony" (centauran-terran-vulcan) together in the rigel kentaurus system (alpha centauri-a). this is also mentioned in johnsons worlds of federation.

then i suggest to localize "new montana" - the human colony founded by zefram cochrane - into the quindar system (alpha centauri-b) as it's mentioned in captains glory from william shatner. this clears some frictions about alpha centauri in star trek in an easy way.

hope, this makes sense and you'll enjoy the graphics!

[deif]

just another LCARS graphic:
an astrometric analysis with the "real" Taurus Molecular Cloud. I used a real and official astronomic picture of this giant real molecular cloud and starformation region only 140 parsecs away. thought, this region would be an interesting subject for starfleet scientific missions and therefore it would give reason for some nice LCARS graphic.
enjoy!

[deif]

an here is another graphic:
LCARS Terminal of the Enterprise-E from Insurrection.
enjoy!

[Robert]

wow,
I realy like that graphic deif...
Thanks for sharing.

[josh Broughm]

Nice!

[deif]

the previous graphic inspired me to do a library information terminal - in my favorised nemesis colorscheme, for shure - ;)
i used the description of "gravity generation" from the tng tech manual as text and my gravity generator graphic.
i think, this is a nice attempt for a LCARS information terminal and could used for other uses as well.
in between i hope you'll enjoy this graphic!

[deif]

as a byproduct of an actual project another LCARS graphic: a classified breen weapon display. enjoy.

[Kmpr´rak]

Breen weapon, not bad. Very interesting work from you!* :D

[deif]

i was working on this project:
Klingon Disruptor Cannon according to a sketch from John Eaves. here is the first attempt of the LCARS graphic i've finished already. but there is more to come soon. enjoy!

btw. will be away from next week on until end of October for long expected holidays. see you all soon later....

[Robert]

One word: AMAZING.
Deif, you've truely mastered this screen. The details are incredible. I don't know how you've done this. Looks like a 3d rendering yet I know you and your work and I'm ready to bet that you have drawn every details and lines yourself.

2 Future thumbs up my friend and thanks for posting!

[deif]

and here is the byproduct of another project: the intermix allocation monitor from an engineering station. enjoy.

[mtblillie]

Hey cool I like this variation of the intermatrix reaction

[Kmpr´rak]

Nice work. I like your Nemesis color style! :)

[deif]

as another byproducht of the Blackfoot WIP:

the advanced micro torpedo launcher in nemesis colorscheme. enjoy!

[LCARS 24]

I was looking at this thread on an XP box, and none of this shows up. Now, checking on a Vista machine, I can see what I was missing. Great stuff, Deif.

[Robert]

So much details it's incredible.

Is it me are you lighten up your Nemesis Colorscheme? 'cause it looks great!

[deif]

thnx, bill and explorer.

i didn't changed something on the colorscheme. interesting, how graphics can look different....

[deif]

i was inspired by an auction graphic and modified it a bit. here is the result: a LCARS monitor with a dilithium deposit analysis on a moon far, far away....,-). the moon was created with lunar cell and finalized with photoshop. for the lcars graphic i used a voyager colorscheme. hope, you'll enjoy it.

[Kmpr´rak]

Good old LunarCell........ Cool stuff, deif, nice colors and cool idea to use this topic you´ve seen!

[tap364]

Great work all around, Deif. You have a great portfolio of work. Thanks for posting!

[deif]

thnx, tap364. i have good fun to do this graphic stuff and really like to see , that others got emjoyed by them. and if i can stir some more graphic talents out there, that would be more then great...
like this forum too, because i found some good friends here. and with a little help from your friends you can reach heaven, isn't it?

[Adge]

Deif,

As always to your high standard, wonderful indeed.

Would you or anyone like to try this screen from Nemesis? A couple captures attached. Snaps taken from the corridor entrance into the Cartography room.

I have started but the LCARS info each side of the Enterprise E is un-readable, and I think will require some artistic licence.

[deif]

will have a look on that.
thnx for the screencaps, adge.

[deif]

well, here's another LCARS graphic: Astrometric Anaysis Briar Patch.

i bought a set of the TNG Movies 7-10 and was surprised how i was impressed from insurrection. this movie wasn't reall my my favourite but this time really faszinated me. so i started to draw this astrometric graphic. i think, this space region deserves a lot of attention from science.
the basic information for this chart derives from the star maps from geoffrey mandel.
i'm also fascinated about the nearby multistarsystem Castor and aloud me to plant a UFP research station named Newton there. more about this soon...

[Kmpr´rak]

Very cool, you know I like this astro stuff!

[deif]

well, i started this graphic a while ago and like to show you here the next version of this WIP.
Adge was willing to do the colorization of the disruptor cannon (thnx for your helping hand, my friend!). all what i had to do was the rest of the graphic - nemesis-style as usual,
hope, you'll enjoy it!

[Kmpr´rak]

To both of you, great joint venture, cool thing!

[Library Computer]

Very impressive as usual.

[deif]

just another LCARS graphic out of my long term wip-box:
an astrometric analysis of the real G 327.1-1.1 Pulsar, 29'000 ly away. i did a first grapic with the real pulsar in a composite view in optical, infrared and x-ray. the second graphic shows a intermittend wormhole which is combined with this pulsar. enjoy!

[j.anderson]

Nice work deif, you know I am a great admirer of your work.

[Kmpr´rak]

Hey j., congrats to your Bronze Star!

Deif, another piece of fine artwork. Long-term WIP-box, that is a good definition. I think I should rename my notice book!!! :-D

[deif]

and another piece out of my long-term wip box:
the argo buggy console from nemesis, enjoy!

[Kmpr´rak]

Hey deif, as always, cool stuff. Did you have an image after which you made your graphic? Because of the exact detailed work!

[j.anderson]

Great work there deif.

[deif]

kmpr_rak
that's the "original" pic i used to trace the graphic....

[Kmpr´rak]

Very cool, my friend!

[deif]

as a byproduct of my detail work for the cardassian graphic stuff i thought, soem of them need to be showed as LCARS graphics too.
so here are the deflector emitter assembly and the denfense shield from Deep Space Ninein a LCARS environment. enjoy.

[LCARS 24]

Looking good, Deif. Strong work.

[deif]

thnx, bill. i appreciate your kind comment.

[Kmpr´rak]

deif deif deif, where will it end with you? I do not know, but the one thing I know is it will be a very good place! Your work is so cool, always fun for my eyes, and also the rest of me!

Keep on rocking, my friend!

[j.anderson]

Nice byproduct

[Kmpr´rak]

^ It was the same with some fonts when I did another project. For the project I needed fonts or some useful elements, and "tada", there were some nice "by-products"!

BTW, sometimes very helpful!

[deif]

thnx, guys!
well, it always seems a pain, when it comes to the need to do extra stuff for a graphic. for the cardassian graphic it was all the stuff from the DS9 station. i was drawing around two weeks only for that, but at the end it was worth to do it. maybe we should call them "fruits" and not "by-products".....LOL!

[deif]

another LCARS graphic....
it's an office wall monitor from starfleet headquarters as seen in the episode "paradise lost" in DS9. it shows the global security net status during the dominion crisis before the war.
i used a free vector world map and added some details and hope, you'll enjoy this too....

[Kmpr´rak]

Excellent. If, then there are only minor differences!

[deif]

yep, i didn't like to trace everything from a screencap. so things looks a bit different. and there are always details you can't see them clearly to reproduce them accurate....
thnx for the kind comment

[deif]

another LCARS - two displays from the runabout danube-class cockpit. they are seen in the later version of the runabout at the rearward on both sides. hope, you'll enjoy!

[Robert]

Looks great my friend!

The only nitpick is the outer frame colors. At the moment, you have them as purple. And from the shots you have there, they do look purple. But I think it's probably do to the lighting. And reality, they are using the same "brushed silver" color as seen everywhere in Voyager and the later season of DS9.

[Adge]

Deif, Nicely done. I support Robert's obsevations.

[Kmpr´rak]

Fine work, my friend, very cool stuff. I would change the color of the frames, well, I think purple is okay, but it is too intensive. Aside this nit, great work my friend!!!

[deif]

that's why i love this forum: you will always get some constructive hints from your friends - and a lot of encouragment!! and here the saying becomes true: many eyes see more then only two!

i don't know, why i've been stucked with this pink color!?? the light scene on the shows do falsify the colors a lot and i was seeing only this pink. but you're right: it's brushed silver!

corrected pics attached.

[Adge]

Deif, Thats cool. I have an animated version here done a while back. http://www.lcars.org.uk/lcars_a302.htm

[Kmpr´rak]

Definitely better and more done after the original source!!!

[deif]

and here another LCARS display: a short range sensor scan, which reveals a nearby jem hadar attackship! let's split!

the graphic is based on a screencap from a runabout console. enjoy!

[Robert]

Looks great: Colors and layout. I might just lower the font size for the title... but hey, that's just me!
Thank you deif.

[Kmpr´rak]

Yes, the size is too large, in the original the small numbers are still next to the white top rectangle. And maybe the tabs under the title are too small. But aside, it is a good work!

[Picard]

Hi deif,

they look really great. Took it a long time to design this panels? How do you learn this? What is about the copyright with this LCARS graphics?

Thanks a lot for answering my questions

Regards Chris

[deif]

hi chris
it depends: i need some hours for some of the graphics, others will take days or even months. it was my job as designer and i loved it. then i was lurking all the star trek graphic stuff for years until 2006 i bought adobe illustrator and began to draw my own stuff. concerning the copyrights i appreciate the creative commons i respect them myself too.

[deif]

another LCARS graphic:

the revised keyboard. enjoy!

hi deif,
that means that your job is designer and the great Star Trek stuff (LCARS graphics) are your hobby? Please let me know it is possible to learn drawing LCARS graphics or is it only a job for designers?
regards chris

[deif]

^
LOL!!
designer was my first job, which i'm no longer active since decades....and yes, to draw LCARS stuff is my hobby. i do it for fun and to encourage people like you to start exploring your own creativity!
yes, you can learn to draw stuff like these. no problem. the only things which will be helpfull is your own imagination, boldness, a piece of paper and pencils. then you can start to develop your own projects with drawing sketches.
the next step could be to use a computer software like illustrator, photoshop (expensive, but professional tools) or more cheap solutions like inkscape (free open source vectorgraphic app). have a look to the tutorials here (http://www.lcarsc.com/forumdisplay.php/17-Tutorials) or here (http://www.okudagrams.com/forum/forum.php) (you need to register there as well to see the very helpfull tutorial videos). you may also download some of the freebies here (http://www.lcarsc.com/blog.php) and learn from them. hope. this was helpfull for ya!

regards

[Picard]

Hey deif,

thank you for your answer. I will think about it and I will try to draw my own LCARS diplays in the future :) This was very helpful! Thanks a lot ;)

regards Chris

[deif]

well, and here a rare insight into the confidential files of starfleet!!
i'm proudly present you the transphasic torpedo, the only weapon to fight successfull against a borg cube! here some explanations from memory bete:
"The transphasic torpedo was a very powerful weapon brought back in time from the early 25th century by Admiral Janeway. These torpedoes were designed specifically for use against the Borg and a single transphasic torpedo is capable of destroying a Borg Cube. (VOY episode: "Endgame")
The transphasic torpedoes work by delivering a subspace compression pulse existing in an asymmetric superposition of phase states. If one subcomponent of the pulse is blocked by shielding, enough others will still succeed in penetrating to the target to ensure that the majority of the pulse is still delivered. Each torpedo's transphasic configuration is different, randomly generated by a dissonant feedback effect, so there is no way for the Borg to predict the configuration of its phase states in order to shield against them. (TNG novel: Greater Than the Sum). In 2381, the USS Enterprise-E was the only vessel that had been fitted with transphasic torpedoes."

i really hope, you'll enjoy this LCARS graphic!

[j.anderson]

Nice job

[Kmpr´rak]

deif strikes back! Very cool idea!

[Library Computer]

Very cool idea indeed!

[deif]

thnx for all comments.

and here is a more or less simple LCARS graphic: the cloaking device control panel from the defiant bridge. enjoy.

[Kmpr´rak]

Thanks for posting, cool work!

[deif]

as byproducts of my runabout cockpit panels thread here a set of LCARS monitors. first the runabout primary system status display. enjoy!

[Adge]

Deif,

As always, nicely drawn and presented excellently.

[deif]

and more displays......
this time the warp drive related ones. enjoy!

[Library Computer]

Excellent work as always!

[deif]

thanx, lib!

[Felderburg]

A lot of nice stuff in this thread!

[j.anderson]

great work as always deif
