New screensaver (WIP)

[sekinoss]

Hi everyone. I'm currently doing making a screensaver based
on the dialing computer. It shows the idle gate screen, and has
some animation here and there. It is largely based on the 4/5/6th
season dialing computer. The screensaver is still a work in progress,
so feel free to drop any comments or suggestions. Have funn.

Ok currently halfway thru the outgoing screen. No comments ?

I've always wanted a screen saver of the event horizon on the Stargate. That would be an awesome one.

Here's a early screen of the outgoing wormhole display.
There are still stuff missing though, for example the
sgc spin thingie and some numberss.

I found the SGC spinning thing on the net early. Think its the one you mean

Good work keep it up.

hey this looks really cool
but also consider the screensaving part of your screensaver i.e the "grid" seems to be planned to stay on the whole time.

i really liked what i saw! it looks very clean and smooth graphicalwise

[TechnoWraith]

Look great so far. I'm kind of hoping to see the chevrons lock in and see some graphic of the gate opening. Whatever you have planned, I'm sure it will look good.

[sekinoss]

Wraithwarrior yes thats what I was lookin for. However I couldn't
find one that has a smoother spinning animation, so I decided to
render a 3D one my own (using yours as basis thank you), and now it looked
quite decent and has nice spinning animation.

PlaZ not sure what you meant by grids are on. I'm planning to have
the screen saver idle and activates outgoing worms randomly (and
maybe later have incomings as well). It'll have the basic animations
based on the screens from the show. In some bits however, I have
to improvise a bit as some portions I believe were never shown on
screen (for example the outgoing wormhole shutting down).

Here's a pic of the current build. I've changed the color to match
the later seasons dialing computer. Not sure which one is better
though.

wow
that preview looks great


about what i was trying to say: i meant those greenish lines when i used the term "grid". that outline seems to be on screen in that exact color all the time. all the pixels should have some sort of color variation.

Erm... because maybe people are curious?
As Bart12 said many months ago when he resurrected it:
