Its amazing how much that looks like a tunnel through water...

As much as I love it and would like to use it in game, I'm not sure how well it fits as 'subspace'...

[Unknown Target]

Wow! That's really cool!
And Raa, that's exactly what I was thinking, about the tunnel through water bit But I think it's a very nice interpretation of subspace

[jdjtcagle]

dido

[Stunaep]

I say toss the fake glare.

[SadisticSid]

If I have a near-death experience and see something like that, I'll be very happy.

[DaBrain]

Wow, looks very good.
But on the other hand I don't like it when I imagine to fly through this thing with a couple of fighters and a capship.

This is not very helpful, but know it  needs something, I don't know what.
Something that creates a better "feeling".

Perhaps this can't be done with only texturechanges...


Edit: Don't missunderstand me this IS better than the old tunnel.

[J3Vr6]

I wanna see nipples!  I mean ripples!

[SGGWD]

Wow, realy nice LS.

[Flipside]

Regardless whether that 'fits' or not, it's bloody good work I think that Freelancer piccy inspired a little too much

Also, I get the wierdest feeling a Tardis is going to pass by any moment ???

[Turambar]

I think that the black in the energy vortex needs to go away.  but ive said this already.  why do you guys think that the black needs to stay.  I say that a gaseous blue / blue-white like clouds would be cool

[jdjtcagle]

It looks awsome!! Without the black, it takes away the subspace feel that we're used to

[Antares]

Can we have the maps for this one?

[Urban Cowboy]

I think the black spots provide a bit of enigma (I guess) to the whole thing. It gives you the impression that subsace could spit you out if it wanted to...

I don't know. It gives it that unstable feeling which I think gives the pilot something to fear when inside. Like if I'm not careful, I could get spit out and ripped asunder.

I think the glare effect should stay, but tone it down a bit if possible. Still looks a bit rough. I don't know if the watery image the tunnel presents is enough to pull off the ripple effect, but not bad. Other than that, I like the progress.

Oh, just noticed this...out of curiousity, what is that little dark gray spec in the upper right hand corner?

[SadisticSid]

That speck looks like a piece of space debris. How does that get into subspace anyway?

That's what I thought, too. It'd be awesome if you could see empty space through the openings in the walls. Like it's an actual tunnel through space, and not a solid tube like Turumbar keeps asking for.

I'm not yet sure if i like it - so I might toss this one completely.

I like it LS, the whole watery effect looks good for a subspace tunnel.  Of course, stills never show how things look in game when they're animated and moving.

[Setekh]

I'm liking it more, now. Can you post the files for this? I want to see it moving.

[Gregster2k]

ditto, hey LS can we have the files that produced that image? I like it, dont toss it!!!

[ShadowDrakken]

it's amost a shame the model doesn't have a bend in it, and then rotate around the long axis to give it an endless winding and twisting feel, rather than seeing a bright end

[Gregster2k]

Drakken, go to the original Subspace thread and read it. They tried, but it didn't work, they would have to destroy the translucency of the subspace tunnel in order to make it work, or worse. It's fine the way it is IMHO, any weirder and it may make subspace missions TOO hard to get one's bearings in...of course, bendy, weird subspace missions could be reserved for special situations I suppose.
