-
-
- Thanks for downloading my Babylon 5 JumpGate for Reflections.
-
-
-
- This archive contains ORIGINAL handcrafted wireframes
-
- that I designed to duplicate, with a very high degree of accuracy, the
-
- hyperspace vortex jumpgate generator seen on the Paramont science fic-
-
- tion series, Babylon 5. Enclosed is a fully assembled JumpGate, a 540
-
- frame render-ready scene showing the firing of the energizers and the
-
- formation and collapse of the vortex, and a sample rendered frame con-
-
- verted from a 24-bit medium resolution (square pixel - 640 x 480), low
-
- anti-a to a 256 color VGA GIF via Paint Shop Pro 2.02 on my IBM (taken
-
- off the Amiga in JPEG format, Q=30).
-
-
-
- The following unaltered files MUST be contained in this archive in or-
-
- der to be considered the orignal archive direct from the author ... no
-
- exceptions, no additions:
-
-
-
-
-
- JUMPGATE.DOC - This document.
-
- JUMPGATE.REF - The object.
-
- JUMPGATE.REF.MAT - The materials.
-
- JMPGATE1.GIF - 640 x 480 x 256 GIF format converted sample.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- The COLOR of the vortex is LIGHT BLUE (0, 170, 255) when ships EXIT
-
- the JumpGate and PALE YELLOW when ships ENTER. The vortex spirals IN-
-
- WARD (positive X fractal texture velocity) for entrances, and OUTWARD
-
- (negative X texture velocity) for exits. These colors are defined
-
- under Surface Color for the "Vortex" surface.
