I am still thinking about how I could get this effect. I don't know how to create a circular nurb-surface with these waves. Perhaps I could use the sculpt-surface-tool with a wavy picture? But what would I do if I want to animate it? Take a jpg-picture sequence?
I would be happy about every suggestion
..Best Regards

Yes, good advice! Particles could be really useful for the outburst of the wormhole at the begining. But what I ment with the wavy surface was the effect of the wormhole when it's fully established... I think I also had to use raytracing to get the reflections... mhhh...

. But that will take some time. I have to figure out how to make the wormhole-outblow effect with the particles and the wormhole-surface...Any suggestions for that task are really welcome!

.The Chevrons have at least the right rotation, but I am not sure, wether there have to be all 9 at the gate. I modeled after this (https://home.kendra.com/urania/starga...ic_xl-1210.jpg) scheme. There you can see all 9 chevrons. Normaly, in the pictures of the series one can only see the upper 7, the others are mostly covered as the gate sticks in the earth or something like that... If I could just remember the scene in the episode where they dumped the stargate into a sun....
Best Regards
