Hey everyone,

I finally finished this animation:



That Spacedock model goes wayyy back, I can't belive Scifi-Meshes still has the thread.

All done in LightWave, then composited in After Effects, and edited in Premiere.

I hope you enjoy it!

During pre-production of Stargate: Origins, the director showed the VFX Team my wormhole animation from 2015. I got asked to provide an updated version in 4K.



Done in LightWave 11.6.3 and After Effects CC

Here's the old version:

After years of on and off tweaking, I finalized the Kawoosh animation. It's all done in LightWave 2018 using a complex nodal displacement setup, with some post processing in After Effects.



It's the very same principle as in the breakdown video I did years ago. The secret lies in tweaking the displacement until it looks and animates like a water surface. The rest is created by reflections of a proper background image, and a luminous surface behind the event horizon.


Cheers,
Rob
