Oops, that was me.

Also, remember, that is the TV show layout, not the movie layout. The Dorm area is a bit different as is the catwalk.

if you want I can send you the floor-plan and cutaway from the RPG

I think there are parts of the ship we've never seen.

Yes, please post here, Tensen01.

For my Virtual Serenity project, I've had to do a lot of theory work as to the sizes of things - while the blueprints are great, they tend to fudge in a few areas.

The best advice I can give relates to the engine room. During the build process for the map, I redid it about two or three times. What I basically realized is that while this may not have been how the set was physically built, it was intended to be a perfect circle, with the engine at the center of it. In terms of the modelled map, it works incredibly well - you get a real sense of depth in the room. The circle is 18 feet in diameter, and the foot of the door is about six feet from the bottom of the circle, just so that you know where to place it.

The ceiling on the bridge/cockpit slopes a bit before it hits the main window slope. It's only really noticable when you look at the area to Wash's right - you can see a slope. It was awful to model, but not near the pain that was modelling the "windshield."

In the fore hallway, remember that you've got the crew quarters dropping down beneath them. This is probably the most "fudged" part of the show between the actual sets and the digital model. Also, I see you have the dining room elevated from the hallways - in reality, right next to the doors in the dining room, it is level with the hallways, and the actual area of the dining room is dropped about a foot or two.

While I haven't started work on the lower deck, it looks like that the estimation of the common area space is spot on - it is the same width as the aft hallway, the passenger quarters extend three or four feet deeper into the bulb than the engine room.

As I've got the entire upper deck basically designed in DOOMEdit, I can stitch together a side view of it and send it to you if you'd like. E-mail me at virtual.serenity@gmail.com if I can help in any way.

Moonlight, they changed the elevation of the Dining room in the movie, it's now higher than the aft area and level(or lower) than the Fore.

I'd rather not post the pictures as they're copyrighted, but anyone who wants them leave your e-mail. and I'll send them to you.

Oh, is this going by the movie Serenity or the television Serenity?

If it's the movie Serenity, you're correct. One of the main reasons why I decided to not do the Virtual Serenity project based on the film version - the changes to the dining area didn't make sense to me. Well, that and the cargo bay would have driven me up the wall.

Basically, in the film version, there's a small set of stairs that go up to the dining room from the fore hallway, and there's a small cut section in the dining room on the aft hall side that goes down the same number of steps to the aft hallway.

Oops, forgot - could you please send the pictures to the address in my first post? Even if they are for the film Serenity I might be able to use them.

I haven't been able to find a pre-movie Serenity graphic to really see the differences between the ship designs, but the movie version seems more streamlined and "cooler." Maybe I should go with that version, especially since the changes have been noticed.
