Screen Accurate Millennium Falcon Cockpit (CG Model)

Side note; not sure if it's been talked about already, but if there was ever any debate over the canon location of Luke's ESB 'medical' bunk being just off the corner of the main hold, TFA will settle it. Keep an eye out for it!
 
Thanks for sharing , excellent work
And I'm the same with my art , won't release it because I feel it's not good enough for viewing then continue to correct it TOO MUCH
Call it your Beta release and let it go LOL , stunning in case you weren't listening
Also it's a brilliant reference for us plastic jocks still living back in the 20th century ?
When can we expect to hear the special news ;) .
 
glad to hear it Ozzy. Thanks for the compliments folks!


ok, so I got really bored at work and starting dreaming up how I would approach the full interior of the falcon. That is, what artistic license I would take if I went for the whole deal. I started fooling around with the rough layout below, and did some more screencap research. I think I may have come up with a logical location, and layout, of the med bay that I don't know if I've seen done before, but correct me if I'm wrong.

as you can see from the screencap below, the med bay bunk is on a wall that's perpendicular to one of the types of rings that recur around the falcon in association with the padded rings:

It seemed to me that if you took one of the segments of the corridors, took out the outer wall and stuck the med bay into it, you'd get what you see in my layout.


here it is in the rough layout I came up with. I put a hatchway to an escape pod bay (which mirrors the ramp hatch on the opposite side), and then I put the medbay just beyond that, because in ESB we see three segments of the port corridors and we know there's nothing attached to them.

(please ignore the fact that the scale is weird and the cockpit corridor doesn't match. I'm just fooling around here with an interior layout, not trying to solve the ship of riddles.)

when I built a model of the new med bay layout, it fit perfectly. A render to follow

what do you guys think?

Just wondering if you had any (maybe even just one) measurements for your truly magnificent interior? Your work to date is simply amazing, btw. Thanks for all that you've contributed to this community!

reviving this a bit...

certainly feel a little more secure claiming "screen accurate" now...

there was probably something else I was supposed to be doing... huh... oh well.

anywhere, here are renders of a project that I started in 2010. This is the cockpit of the Falcon from ANH, warts, misaligned panels, and all. Everything in here has been stared out for countless hours, reexamined, rebuilt, fretted over, deleted, lost in data errors, rebuilt, rebuilt again for good measure.

more on the blog here

Finished it all one afternoon a few months ago, very suddenly. I wasn't even expecting it. I added a button, and looked around and kind of just went... oh... guess I... finished it. Then went and had a bit of a lie down.

now what? Finish the rest of the interior... uh, animate the blinky lights accurately? well, anyway, enjoy.

(big credit to J Maruska, who modeled the captain/copilot bucket seats that I used, and who's own excellent Falcon work can be found here!)

Yeah... I know that feeling all too well! ;)

Beautiful renders as always! You have always been a great source of inspiration! :)
 
I see you added the golden dice, but where are the cup holders? :p :lol :lol

Truly amazing work. Mind boggling all the detail is when it truly study it.
 
Hey - I just posted about this forklift!

http://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=272557&p=4175155#post4175155

on a side note, anybody recognize the little mini forklift in the background? I had thought it was a droid from the screencaps I was looking at, but one day realized it's just a plain old forklift. even has a steering-wheel... which just somehow feels out of place in star wars.

here's a picture of the real guy:

and here again in the left-hand background. Plus, I just love this photo...

Okay - this is a late response, but:

Hey CEC,

some ways back in this thread, someone posted fairly clear views of the boxes and levers in the upper canopy of the ESB cockpit, but I haven't been able to actually identify the parts that were used.

I've been working on a theory, as yet unproven, that in the ANH cockpit, some of the levers were recycled in the deathstar tractor beam set, and in Yavin base. The levers have some kind of large D ring shape attached to yet another C3P0 Leg Piston (notably appearing as the throttle levers in the Falcon's cockpit)

These two images show the lever I mean

and in this picture you can see the silhouette doesn't quite confirm it, but looks like it could be possible. I'm open to suggestions

just noticed that the same greebly is used on the roof of the Lars family landspeeder in ANH. FWIW.
