Stargate Activation - Better Kawoosh Effect

This is the same animation as in the "Stargate Activation in Maya", but I have updated the "kawoosh" effect and tweaked a couple of other things to make it look better.

@airsoftman121 Thanks. You may want to check out a couple of my other videos: "Stargate Dialing Sequence" and "Stargate Dialing Sequence v2.0".

is it an dynamic ocean you have used to make the worm hole or what?

I used a phong material with a fractal set as the bump map. I set the Amplitude to 0.573, Threshold and Ratio to 0.000, animation radio button checked, and I created an expression for the Time attribute. For the animation I used this expression: fractal1.time = (time-7)/6. Experiment with the expression until you get one that you think looks best. Then just texture it to your liking.

The Kawoosh is a little bit to long, but otherwise it looks great. :D

Better than some other ones i have seen here at Youtube. ;)

the kawosh is not really that good i like the gate texture but you should realy improve the kawosh...

Kawoosh: - 1 Star

Gate Texture: + 2 Stars

DHD Texture and Model: + 1 Star

Closing Effect of Event Horizon: + 1 Star.

That gives it 3/5.

Still you did a very good job. :)
