rusty Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Hi again, I need to simulate the Aurora around the top of a planet. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Aurora_B...ace_by_NASA.jpg And with movement (green, white and red swirls with streamers shoup wardspwards): Ideas? Thanks! Rusty Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted March 5, 2012 Hash Fellow Posted March 5, 2012 The view from space looks like a cloud-like material applied to a transparent shell that is slightly larger than the planet surface. Quote
johnl3d Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 tried volumetric steam varied color swirl ... planetsteam.mov Quote
Darkwing Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 With all that abnormal shaped lighting stuff Robert and I were talking about in a previous thread, what would happen if you made the light a klieg, applied a dots rotoscope to it and turned on volumetric and had it go along some crazy path? Am I making any sense? Quote
johnl3d Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 this is another approach using an animated material on another shell over the planet newcolorplus.mov newcolorplus.zip Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted March 5, 2012 Hash Fellow Posted March 5, 2012 Here's a go at the curtain effect... http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?s=&am...st&p=366288 Quote
rusty Posted March 6, 2012 Author Posted March 6, 2012 Wow dudes!!! Lot of fantastic ideas!!! It will take a day or two to work through all these (I'm on V14c and can't open some .prj files). I may combine all of them! Thanks! Rusty Quote

Am I making any sense? Yes, perfect sense. In the space shots tiny streamers rose above the main curtains and this might create those. Thanks! Rusty Quote

Thanks, Rusty Quote
