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.
