See this? Thunder made it ages ago. Everyone demand that he make an animated one, right now.

Back in his room, slow and somewhat drunken understanding spreads across Thunders mind as he tries to cope with the concept of it being 2004...

I.. uh, yeah... why not.

You outta your New years stupor yet? As a non drinker I was modding since I got outta work yesterday morning and will beup till mon night when I go  back to work :p

  Anyway, yo Thunder if you are gonna animate the Wormhole that would greatly help our two projects out. Of course Star Trek overkills the wormhole but it's a neat vehicle for storylines. As for SAAB I don't think you EVER seem them actually use the wromholes, they are assumed to have just left or arrived via their version, what ever thier wornholes look like.

  Since DG brought it up can I asume he wants to adopt it for SAAB also? If so that's a cool idea. Who says worm holes HAVE to look different just because it's another universe?

   However if you do go through with this Wh animation Thunder and you like it can you share with with Retail Trek? Also could I interest you in helping with a super secret mission that is short but requires an animation of your caliber? ;7

Hehe, I guess any of my work (when it does happen - it's rare) would be fine for anything anyone else wants to do with it, as long as they give me credit for its original form.

My great problem is getting hold of a high resolution animation of the DS9 wormhole. Has anyone got any ideas?

Can you rip it off a video segment of the ds9 worm hole in action? frame by frame? or like is that the wrong way to do it?

I don't see why it wouldn't work - the only thing I'd need to do to get the video running is change the background to green (for transparency).

Trouble is, I have no experience in video encoding...

I didn't particularly want it for FS:AAB, I just found it and was struck by it's coolness. Doesn't matter if DS9 over-used it, since it's a fantastic effect :D
