| Post subject: | Interesting skybox concept |
At least, I thought it was kinda interesting. Have you ever looked directly at the sun for several seconds? Don't. It hurts and most likely isn't good for your eyes. However, I noticed that it does not appear to be static. When viewed with the eye (as opposed to a camera), the edge of the sun seems to warp and boil. I have never seen this type of effect anywhere, so I decided to try my hand at it. In the attached zip is a small map file to check out, if you're interested. The skybox texture isn't too advanced; it's just a static low-res rendering from Terragen, which I picked up from www.oldversion.com. To accomplish the appearance described above, I added a little yellow-orange smoke emitter that was placed just so, and the puffs were sized just right to add a little disturbance around the edge of the sun. Also, the wind effect from another in-level emitter seemed to emulate an off-shoot of a bloom effect. The brightness of the sun kinda "gravitated" toward nearby translucent particles to form larger blobs of brightness. Interesting, eh?[br]File: [url=../../files/public/1190162136_244_FT0___skyboxtest.zip]1190162136_244_FT0___skyboxtest.zip[/url] |
