  • torus blast wave – texture problem

    Posted by Graham Quince on August 16, 2007 at 8:04 am

    Hi everyone

    I’ve been trying to create one of those planetary blastwaves you see in almost every sci-fi movie.

    I’ve got a torus shaped quite nicely into a energy wave, but I’ve had a lot of problems trying to texture the leading edge to fade so that the inner side is transparent.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Try using a circular gradient in the alpha channel.
