Blueprints: Planet Express

[on:]

I've been wokring the past few days for hours on end piecing together blueprints.  They're not completed yet, but I was wondering if, with the collectiveness of everyone here, I can make this thing as perfect as possible.  Anyone who contributes a significant piece of information (room, placement, etc.) will get credit in the final product (which will probably be an interactive Flash document).

Comments/suggestions/questions, etc.  Give me everything you got.

Also, I'm only going for room placement and such right now.  I'll put in the rest of the props (furniture, doors, windows, etc.) after I get the rooms down.

JavieR:  I will submit them to you first after they're finished.  It is my hope that they can be an original section in your site (Although I suppose the term "original" is a bit untrue since there are already ship blueprints)

Here you go:

(EDIT) Also, before anyone asks, the greyed out parts are filled walls and/or undecided rooms.

Wow,
nice work there,
looks great so far.
Somebody also should do this in 3D 

[Reply #2 on:]

Very cool. How about adding the fireplace location to the observator? And even the epper floors don't connect to the hanger, you ought to indicate at least the outline of the hanger location in relationship to it. Maybe grayed out.
I'm going to scan a cross section view from the Futurama comics for you...
please stand by...

They're crappy scans but they may prove useful:

Wow, thats cool!

And somehow it seems right

[Reply #4 on:]

Well, honestly, I don't know if I want to go by what the comics say over the episodes, but thanks for scanning them anyway.  Which issue is that cross-section from?  I have access to high-quality scans so I can get them to see more detail if I choose.  The me, the comics make the building seem way too small.  I don't know, maybe I'll go by and add anything that the comics say after I complete it according to the episodes.

Also, I am thinking of doing this in 3D when I complete the blueprints, but alas, I don't know which program to use.  If anyone can steer me in the right direction for a good 3D modeling program...

I scanned it from a trade paperback Futurama Adventures.
I don't know if it was created for the TPB, or if it appeared in an issue. In the TPB, it follows the reprint of Issue #8.
I would go by the show as well.

Hmm... in the scans I have those pages aren't there...

Oh well, I'll just go by the show for now.  Thanks Cap'n.

Actually, pretty impressive, Fig.

Very nice work. 

[Reply #8 on:]

Thank you, Nasty.

On a slightly related matter, I was really very impressed at the awesomeness of the Adventure game that was in production and then apparently dropped off the face of the internet, and so, partially using my new blueprints, I drew the Employee Lounge in the style of an Adventure game.  Who knows, it may even be used in a future Futurama adventure game.

Hay, nice screen you got there 

i once used anim8or to model some futrurama
characters and buildings, it's free and easy
to learn. you can get it on http://www.anim8or.com/

see ya

That's cool!

Fry has an office? lol

[Reply #12 on:]

delayed comment there.

[Reply #13 on:]

 LOL. Yeah, I googled "Planet Express Blueprints" and found this thread!
I found some problems with these maps that are really bothering me, but it's been so long since this topic was started I decided not to say anything!

[Reply #14 on:]

That worked.

Still, these might come in handy...

[Reply #15 on:]

Fry has an office? lol

Well yeah, you see it in How hermes requisitioned his groove back, and future stocks, and some other episodes I think.

[Reply #16 on:]

Oh yeah! I don't think its really his though. maybe just an empty office that he uses sometimes.oh, and The second floor map is kinda backwards. The lounge is on the other side. Cuz the window faces toward the city, and the door on the left always opens to the conference room.

No it doesn't.

This blueprint forgets Scruffy's office (ie: the boiler room).

I once tried to do a blueprint, actually for an English project, but then I scrapped it and just went for the much simpler blueprint of Bender's closet apartment. Although that one can be tough because of seeming contradictions between The Cyber House Rules and Love and Rocket & The Devil's Hand Are Idle Playthings, with the orphan room (CHR) and Fry's room (L&R and DHAIP) being in the same place.
