Can someone with this set post a render of the corridors, chambers, and doors this set has?

Are there any door in the middle of the corridor or are the only on the ends?

Thanks in advance!

    First view is straight on with the near wall dropped to see inside. Thjs is how it loads.
    Second view at a slight angle

    I recommended this set for the non-human look of the equipment because the chamber is not that versatile.

    Doors only on the ends

    The only textures included are a couple of reflections that you've seen dozens of times since poser 4.

    There are 19 mat zones.

    Unlike many similar sets, the exterior of the chamber has a very finished look.

    Since the door looks solid, I assume the entire door opens to the left and/or right?

    Can you please show the chamber as well because im a little confused by:

    I say not versatile because there is only one short corridor with end walls. The corridor is the only chamber. But the outside has a very finished look unlike many other sets like stonemason's Arc.

    The doors are two parts. They can be moved to the side but were meant to move up and down

    Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this set, but the equipment is the selling point, not the corridor. (Except that I already have plans to make a train car out of the corridor to be pulled behind the Spirit of Punk.)

    Oh ok. I misunderstood the promo description. I says Chamber/Hall I took that to meet it had a Chamber (i.e. room) AND a hall. I now see they are one in the same.

    Im sold if I can find a chamber I can fit this all to. But given all the other props included, Im hoping it wont be that hard.

    Thanks alot for all the renders and explanations.

    Madlab-3 Remix has a chamber and is alien themed with similar equipment.... and what I like the most about it... they fit both V4 and M4.

    Just to re-iterate, I think MJ007 is looking to create a bridge for an alien saucer, rather than the original intent of this product.

    True, but not JUST a bridge... im looking to create a complete alien saucer environment... INCLUDING a bridge but not limited to.

    Speaking of alien bridge, now that i have kinda found a decent setup (not to mention FREE) bridge, I think I am going to commission someone to give it the same look as Davorama's Z-Mech Set. I dont think a whole lot needs to be done, and i wish i could do it myself, but i dont anticipate this commisssion to be too costly.

    That looks like a variant Star Trek bridge rather than an alien set, and in any event before you can get someone else to modify it for you you need to make sure the readme or download site allow redistribution.

    No, my intentions is to have it retextured and some props from the Z-Mechs set added to it to give it the alien feel.
    Also, the bridge is a freebie so i dont necessarily have to redistribute it... whoever agrees to retexture it can download it for themselves.

    OK, what I meant is that you're NOT looking for a set of abduction/torture furniture, but are planning to use the props from z-Mech as sci-fi equipment.

    and BTW, the stuff I said about the lack of textures was for the chamber. Its PROBABLY true for the props, but I didn't really look.

    Oh yeah, that is definitely correct.

    I actually like the props and corridor "As Is". So im ok with it not having additional textures.
