Question... is Sci-Fi Lab (https://www.daz3d.com/sci-fi-lab) textured to be apart of the interior Spaceship Antares (https://www.daz3d.com/spaceship-antares) interior sets such as:
https://www.daz3d.com/sci-fi-corridor-a
https://www.daz3d.com/sci-fi-corridor-b
https://www.daz3d.com/psi-medbay
https://www.daz3d.com/psi-barracks
https://www.daz3d.com/sci-fi-engine-room-a
etc?
And if not, can someone please advise what sets (if any) the Sci-Lab is supposed to be matched with?
Thanks In Advance!

I didn't think it was supposed to be matched with anything.
Unfortunately, Sci-Fi Lab does not use the same doorway structures as the rest of the Antares interior sets.
Ok, Thanks.

Looking at his gallery, he groups it with Ensk Station and the Sci-fi bases, but I don't think it matters. It's not like East/West Park where some sets share textures, so you have to buy several of them.
They do look a little different and I've never tried to use it with anything else, but I think it would work.
Good Catch! And it does appear to match those sets.
Thanks!

I think they work together fine, even though ther style is not identical. Here is a quick example of Corridor A combined with the lab.

Thanks for the render thd777.

That looks really good. I've been in a few military buildings where an annex or section was built decades after the original building. You walk through a door and it's like you went from the 50's to the 90's. So I'm pretty sure it could happen in the Sci-fi world. Plus I imagine a medical/science lab should be built to different specs than the rest of the ship. Having metal handrails sticking out everywhere and pipes and cables hanging from the ceiling may look cool, but it would be hard to keep dust free.
You fix this by using the same shader(s) on different parts of both sets.
And/or you use a greeble or any other prop and let it keep showing up in different areas. That sets up a feeling of uniformity.
Even just a color that stays consistent will bridge the gap between styles.
