[Da_elf]

made this with suggestions from chris. its done with 3 displacement maps moving at different speeds on a torus with a 360 degree twist.

huh 3 displacements ? you mean a mix/blend with 3 maps?
maybe you can explain a bit. it looks realy cool!

[TRGraphics]

Very cool. Please tell us more!

[percydaman]

you should state which codec your using if it isn't one someone would automatically have. I couldn't watch it and I have both divx and xvid. Which I assumed you were using.

[percydaman]

Oh and neat animation.

[Da_elf]

yeah, when i say 3 displacement maps i mean 3 maps used in a series of mix maps then the whole mixture is applied to a single displacement map. so more or less the ring never moves, only the maps. i know it would give trouble with motion blur since the blur would only go in and out and not around however i didnt need blur on this one.

Nice one Elf. Looks very cool.

Oh indeo video 5.10...ewwww
