Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted March 5, 2012 Hash Fellow Posted March 5, 2012 This isn't quite what Rusty is looking for in his other thread but I'll show it none-the-less... a fly-over of the Aurora curtain effect. Basically two gradient combiners are used to fade out the top and bottom and in the middle is a turbulence combiner, stretched vertically and animated in the chor to move through the mesh of the curtain to give it the undulating look. AuroraE000.mov PRJ done in v17 but it will work in earlier versions Aurora06_animated_flyby.prj Quote

NancyGormezano Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Ooooo nice. Could also vary the colors and if ya add some bones here and there, animate the vertical scaling of the patches, and overall shape for more dynamics. Quote

Yeah, there are a lot of variations possible. this is really just the bare bones with tons of potential. Quote

AuroraE000.mov PRJ done in v17 but it will work in earlier versions Aurora06_animated_flyby.prj That's KOOL! If I can figure it out (I'm on V14c and probably can't open the .prj file) I'll likely use it! Rusty Quote
Zaryin Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 Yeah that's pretty awesome. If you add more turbulance and change the opacity, maybe add some reflection, you might have a good "mirage" effect going there. Quote

MMZ_TimeLord Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Excellent effect! If put in the right angle with enough overlay and darkened down a bit, would really look like the real thing! Thanks Robert!!! Quote
