[WP] Hyperspeed!

Post by Aken_Bosch »

Hi all, back again with something new :)

This time exceptionally @1600x1200!!
So, in case, I won't have to rescale up all the images from 1024, next time :roll: ...

For those who never played X2 or previous games....ever wondered how the gate travel should look like?
Well, something similar :wink:

"Blue Shift"
[ external image ]

I tried to stay close on how it looked like in X2...only "pimped" up a bit :P
If only I could do something similar in motion :roll: ...LSD for everyone!

Originally born as a layer testing on CS3...never intended to end up this way...but it looked so nice :D

P.S: working 1600x1200 on a 15" is a real pain in the rear...someone willing to finance me a new 21"? Anyone, please? :P

It's always too sad to see that there aren't any replies for nice pictures...
Come one people! Comment this kind of good work!

Also there's a nice gallery of his on deviantart where I commented this pic.
Keep it up Aken_Bosch!

I like the hint of energy streams shooting along the sides of the tunnel.

Don't think anyone has done hyperspace as well as the original B5 though, loved that angry red fiery mass.

The ES and your own Blue funnel is a much more angelic tunnel of light sort of thing!

Picking the arrow shaped pointy Split Ships certainly helps the illusion -though it reminds me of a dart board - still very clever!

Never more than 98.8 percent sure about anything.

Thats cause X gates dont use hyperspace, its wormholes. :wink:

I think you really captured the feel of the X2 tunnels very well, but added in your own flair to make it even better. :D

Just a general comment about the stuff between gates in fiction. :)

I agree it is a good image. Very X2 plus, plus. I still miss the old tunnel although I appreciate it probably just added to load in times.

Yep...it was a really cool thing...the first two or three times :roll:

With all the traveling I did in X2, I'm still glad they put an option to switch it off :D

That was just a "tribute", but I really don't miss it in X3...even the much cooler hyperspeed animation of the old Freelancer, bored me over time...and it couldn't even be turned off :x
