    Here you go.

    Hopefully this will get a bit more attention on this shape.

    Why thank you. If you don't mind my asking, what do you use to make these?
    I'm adept with 3d Studio Max, I just haven't had time to play "make blocks" or "Export as .GIF" in a long while.

    Cinema 4D for modeling and rendering.

    Photoshop to combine the rendered frames into an animated .gif

    I'd like a version of Corner A with the split on the other diagonal. It would allow us to do longer 45 degree half-block ridges, which look wrong with Corner A (see ridgeline in structure at back of image)

    Guten Morgen.
    ist es möglich animierte Texturen erstellen, welche dann auf die verschiedenen Blöcke gemalt werden könne wie die normalen Texturen?
    Ich denke da an Cockpits oder Computerbildschirme/Displays.

    YES!!
    Animated would be great, but even static, emissive textures of instrument panels and computer screens would be lovely.

    anything that helps to make CV cockpits look more like cockpits / bridges would be nice

    Let's not limit it to CVs. Larger SV/HV builds and even bases can be enhanced by the suggested textures/blocks.

    more seriously how about --

    -- a medical crewman you could add which when talked to accesses the medical part of the help page
    -- an astroation officer you could add which when talked to accessed the planetary and galaxy maps..
    -- a gunner that could give access to the ammunition data
    -- a logistics officer that could help you refill your ammunition
    -- a communications officer that you could access station services through - if you talked to

    -- and of course aceess to Alternate point of view devices (cameras) i can fit outside the ship - for parking and outside view

    -- ie not new content but more lore friendly alternate extra ways to access information on your bridge... and customise a crew.

    -- more complexly .. allow acess to numbers like height, planetray distance - shield etc so we can make our own lcd displays
    possibly wityh a few if/then statement -- or alarm on/off light that can be ligted if they fall outside certain ranges.
    - and obviously a programable danger klaxon

    --- though admitedly for SVs - i prefer to run less interface so i can atually see what's going on.

    ok ... i meant astrogation ... uuhm think it used to be used in ye olde sci-fi books (probably short for astro-navigation methinks ---- verily so)
    (and was in wookipedia as well )

    Define astrogation. astrogation synonyms, astrogation pronunciation, astrogation translation, English dictionary definition of astrogation. intr.v. as·tro·gat·ed , as·tro·gat·ing , as·tro·gates To navigate a spacecraft. as′tro·ga′tion n.

    "Forbidden Planet", 1954. One of my favorite movies. In fact, I just watched it again two days ago. Never let it pass without a watch besides owning the DVD.:)
