the ship i jsut threw in  sadly i lost the textures for it ages ago - i'll get around to redoing themsemetime might fix up the ship abit too  i imporved since i did it

anyway i  was jsut creating a wormhole effect - while i havn't got the timeing on it jsut right or rather the timing on its opening just right yet - its not to bad

and for a still its pretty cool

 also its not visable from behind or the sides =) took me ages to work that one out believe me - well a hour or so anyway

so you can drive a ship into it  and front the front lookign down the hole the ship si there from the side its hidden in subspace =)

hehe its cool

[Gloriano]

wow,very nice

[Ashrak]

thats a VERY nice wormhole....

[karajorma]

Very impressive

[mikhael]

The wormhole rocks. I do wish, however, that I could see more of the ship.

Man, it sucks when you lose textures like THAT!

Nice looking wormhole

So where's the worms? (okay, just kidding)

[Beowulf]

I'm about to wet myself. The frieghter(!) and the wormhole(!) are awesome. Keep up the excellent work!

Somone make the subspace jump holes In Fs2 look like that.

The rays cheapen the original image. For some reason, IMO, random rays make things look lame, but ordered ones make it look as if it was actually being seen through glass of some sort.

On the other hand, the wormhole more than makes up for it. Care to share the image?

you want a rendering of he worm hole without a ship in front of it or you want the scene and mesh?

aboutthe rays hmmmmmm  i thought they were wuite subtle lol ut maybe try taking them downa  notch next time

[Taristin]

You'd be willing to share the mesh? That'd be great, since I have absolutely no idea how you made it, but love it none-the less. I'd love to make renders of that caliber(sp?).

It's amazing how much talent this community has.

[KillMeNow]

do you use lightwave? if so once i got teh scene finished i'll send it over

[Taristin]

Unfortunately, no, I don't. But I'm fairly sure 3dex can convert it to cob, no?

[KillMeNow]

well the mesh by itself is nothign special - its the proceural textures and effets i've appled ot it that amke it look cool - its also using weight maps and transpareny gradients and fall offs so i doubt it would come through

if you want some stills of itfor the background of your renders jsut ask and i'll jsut make them for you

[mikhael]

Save the material as a preset, KMN, and post the preset file with any maps that it requires. Anyone who uses Lightwave will be able to use your preset without much difficulty.

Well, then thanks for the offer anyway. Eventually I'll have to learn how to duplicate the effect in PS and TS (TS does allow for layering maps)

[DragonClaw]

Nice. But can't you just double-side the polygons so you can see it from the other side? Mine works fine like that...

Love the 'energy pulse' look thing to it... Little nickpick though... on the bottom left of the image you have wierd blue lines, bug?

mine

[Ashrak]

yours is a cone .... or something iwth fractial noise and a gradient.....even I can make that
