lol, ubuntu is linux

knowing you, hackintosh it.

ok, looking at that screensaver again, here's how they did it. Multiple curved ribbons that are randomly generated and create a glowing type wormhole when bunched together.

problem is i don't know if it was doable. I was thinking a hybrid actually using the glow as the base and having the flow be modeled. But thats for another time.

Umm, thats what I was inferring...create a wormhole model. Btw, space is not an issue with cleo.

hmm, actually it might be possible to do something like that....but i fear it will look bad.

if it weren't for the darn 2dfx, we could have something like this Even if the rest of it isn't as good as ours (well, coils might be better then vc's), the wormhole is def better.

so true...oh well

lol, oh. Then it'd look flat

what rotation?

And that gives something like this Ignore the plasma. I haven't set it up with the speed yet.

Thinking of ways to start the animation. Thought of this, but then also forgot that it was going to look the same no matter what. So back to the VC way

settling on something like this

More like if anyone wants to see the object ids used when the flying delorean objects aren't defined..... At least that'll be fixed next version.

eh, nighttime's not the best compared to the other one.

Wrong wormhole

hmm, looking at those again, it seems the vc wormhole is the closest to those. The SA one I was playing with is nice, but it tapers off too gradually making it seem less bright. The VC one was bright and then almost immediately tapered into blue. Oh well, more playing around later.

Not really. If anything, I'd say I'm going for these types of wormholes http://www.outatime.it/ritornoalfuturo/fra...x.php?cs=181125 http://www.outatime.it/ritornoalfuturo/fra...=221550&p=2 http://www.outatime.it/ritornoalfuturo/fra...=108950&p=3 Or maybe these two seen from head on http://www.outatime.it/ritornoalfuturo/fra...=642150&p=3 http://www.outatime.it/ritornoalfuturo/fra...s=15800&p=2 Or maybe a few other seemingly less complicated wormhole variations http://www.outatime.it/ritornoalfuturo/fra...=585450&p=3 http://www.outatime.it/ritornoalfuturo/fra...s=15925&p=2 Oh yeah, looking at the lightning scene again, they had both plasma trails on visibly here. Just saying. Was going to say the coils were off, but they were on on the previous pic, so I'm blaming the lighting for drowning out the coils. http://lnx.outatime.it/util/frame.php?cs=580175

nope. GTA never used 3d effects. Always 2d sprites.

well, you can't have that shape in the movies then, because like i said, its a 2d effect so no matter what angle you look at it, it'll always look the same, as in like, if the trail aimed, right, i'll always aim right even if the cars aimed forward. I think I'll just keep my sphere, lol.

well, how do you make one using just spheres? The very question that made me just make what vc has. If only it were like some other games where it is able to make like a sphere with a trail.

maybe. I was just thinking of having like spikes randomly poke out from the wormhole.

oh yes its possible....the problem being that it'll curve the same way across the screen no matter what. I can build it using many particles, it'll just look not that pretty.

yes, but it animates at where it was, so to the user, it'll appear to lag.

why can't we get this? http://www.outatime.it/ritornoalfuturo/fra...x.php?cs=126275 T_T looks more like this now http://www.outatime.it/ritornoalfuturo/fra...x.php?cs=126000
