Hi Everyone, it’s been a long time since I’ve polished off my gold plated Blender keyboard and whipped out something ‘just for the fun of it’.
But when the competition to design a ray-gun came up, what could I do, I was practically frothing at the mouth to get to the computer.
Well here is my entry, Please create an account and vote for it (either good or bad, it is your choice), don’t forget to vote for the others you like/dislike.
In this case the lightning, and the glowing brain were both UV textured objects.
The lightning was a simple jpg found on the net, and then edited to be transparent in Photoshop. In the submitted animation, these bolts are flickering, this was achieved by animating the textures “transparency” value to randomly flash on/off. 3 different objects with this texture applied (and different animation timings) make the final animation look a little more random/real.
