Gamerprinter's Map Emporeum

[gamerprinter]

I've been trying to export all my Sci-Fi corridors objects to appropriate JPGs or PNG files at various resolutions for Roll20 and other Virtual Tabletop app requirements, plus add grids for printable PDF version of everything. Then starting to work on the gazetteer PDF with cover to make this into a product, but then I realize, I need a few more parts to make a more complete set. I plan to add more stairways, a few more chambers, and even decided to make some maintenance tunnels (narrow 5 ft-ish tunnels with partial obstructions along the way from various systems and conduits). Although these could be stand-up narrow tunnels to walk through, just as likely these could require anyone in the tunnels to have to crawl through... almost done!

Quick add-on to the set. I just created a 3D model of a ventilation fan, both top view and sideview - in both Star Warsian and Rust Bucket themes. I cannot think of the number of science fiction movies that feature crawling through a ventilation system, and having to negotiate around a spinning fan.

I don't know if this is too much (or too specific), but thinking what I can add to my Sci-Fi Corridors map object set, how about a mag-lev tram station for traveling across vast space stations or industrial complexes? I used my large chamber to base the design around, then created the mag-lev track and tram in 3D, and in both themes.

Someone suggested I do a stuck tram, which I told him I'd planned to add an empty section of tram tunnel, and a mag-lev tram that has taken damage from a loss in magnetic power - broken glass, some dings, and the tram has rolled onto the door side slightly preventing the exit doors from opening. I added an escape hatch on the roof. Also in both sets of tunnels I included a jeffries ladder tube on one side as a form of egress out of the tunnel.

"There's only one more level to look for the xenomorph - the sub basement. It's half submerged in toxic water and largely collapsed."

"There's a sub-basement in this complex, as if I'm not already lost down here!"

Working on a multi-level, small space station map run by a crime syndicate (yakuza). This is the market level with many corporate chain stores, as well as a brothel, casino, shadow bank and some offices (lawyers, accountants, employment agents). There's even a diner catering to alien cuisines - note the non-standard alien tables. There's even a "New Navy" store featuring uniforms and flight gear for star ship crewman. There's a red shirt sale going on!

Next space station level complete - the Station Security and Hospital level (hospital on left side, security on right). The same holding cells as the station brig are on the bottom of the hospital side which serves as isolation cells for long term disease patients. Both are fully capable, triple A status facilities. The yakuza HR department hires the best qualified physicians, security officers and staff.

Next level of the space station is complete - the Maintenance Level. This one was easier, with less stuff, and larger equipment to take up space. The chambers on the bottom end serve the workers with a break room, latrine, management, parts department with a large 3D printer, and tool room. The chambers on the right side include shops for power plant, bridge controls, life support systems and robotics. On the left side is an airlock docking bay, weapon systems, avionics and drive systems. I used rusty textures to imply corrosive fuels, lubricants and cleaning solutions regularly used. 3 ship's boats are under repair in the main central area.

I'll get back to the station soon, but... someone had me create an RV as a private commission for a home game. Essentially a modern government agency that deals with supernatural investigations called ABSEC (Abnormal Security), a division of DHS. See the top view on the bottom left, that's the actual size of the exterior. Think of the interior like Dr. Who's police box, its bigger on the inside than out. There's high tech and magic-tech systems on board. Grid is 5 ft. The second image is untextured 3D model side and top view - what I started with.

I just completed a hand-drawn, isometric map for a first time publisher based in Beaufort, South Carolina - the City of Four Strong, in fact, is located where Beaufort sits. This is an alternate history setting. This is an English settlement that has inter-married into the indigenous population. I just finished this map about an hour ago...
