    Hi, Everyone

    This is my first post here and new to PI.

    Is there a way to create or edit a true convincing vortex or a blackhole type emitter
    like the one you see on the movie Blackhole from the 80s.
    I need to creae something like this for educational purpose.
    Does anyone has a tutorial or a link on how to… with this matter.

    I also would like to know if PI will one day will become 3D.

    Thanks.

    Wow – that’s wierd. Last week i was going through all of my old files, and found this one from 2001 – I think it was when the program was called still Illusion, and it was version 1.1. I considered trashing it, but I didn’t…

    This should get you started. Make the stage bigger for the full black hole to be seen.

    Hi Aharon,

    Thanks for the file.
    Was excatly what I needed.

    Now about PI becoming 3D when you think this will happen.
    Would like to see the blackhole in 3D.

    Thanks again.

    You can’t see a black hole. 😉

    We’re planning 4.0 to be 3D, but don’t expect that until 2008.

    Don’t worry — when it does go 3D, there will be a way to stay in 2D mode if that’s what you prefer.

    Is there a way to get this Vortex Blackhole emitter to be compatible with PI SE? I have 3.0 at home but at work I use PI SE.

    Thanks!

    The file in that zip is an ipf, meanings its an 2.0/SE file. Should open up in SE just fine.

    Thanks Elvis. I must have been doing something wrong like actually looking for the file instead of opening a project.

    Thanks again for the fast shipping on your training CD. I received it two days ago.
