Advice on creating wormholes.

I would like to create wormholes effect like you would see in either the show Sliders or Dr. Who. Does anyone know how to do that?

    Oh, I saw "wormholes" and thought 'Star Trek' ... 2 cones points together but make the centre area not closed ... so one funnel leads to the next.
    Texture images do most of the illusion though. Something nice and spirally.

    Don't recall watching Sliders nor much of Dr. Who so ? about those.

    A cylinder perhaps with textures and set to spinning?

    @Patience- a worm hole on Sliders, think of a Stargate without the architecture around it, just the portal floating in mid-air.

    Okay ... a round plane, possibly double paned for texture effects? [i.e. a squished cylinder]

    Thanks. I came up with something. I'm going to use the image from the stargate circle.

    camera inside an appropriately textured torus should do it

    I would use this Prop http://www.daz3d.com/hero-fx-xtreme
    With these Textures http://www.daz3d.com/kaleidoscope-for-hero-fx

    Or any of the similar sets from the store.

    Use something like this:
    http://fr.cdn.v5.futura-sciences.com/builds/images/thumbs/9/9ede4ccd2e_19448_LorentzianWormhole.jpg
    or the primitive Torus
    and play with shaders?

    This new product comes with an effective-looking swirling portal:

    Lots of gravity and probably some exotic matter.

    Or a Stargate, or a TARDIS, or a Vortex Manipulator (Fresh off the wrist of a handsome young Time Agent... I said off the wrist!.), or a radiation wave while executing a slingshot maneuver...

    :)

    just bought the time-assassin.

    Thanks for the help.

    ...don't know why I took the subject line literally. Like colliding particles and creating ACTUAL black holes literally...

    Either Daz is working you too hard, or you have too much free time. I haven't figured out which. lol

    maybe you can use the large Hadron collider somehow?
    I saw a star collapse but she was drunk on stage :lol:

    Not a wormhole, but I like the idea of rendering from inside of the torus. Need to experiment more with different shaders and sizes.
    Daz Studio 4.6 Pro render.

    I created an animated texture set of a Dr. Who style wormhole that works really well, simply played on a geometry plane that's used as the background.

    Free download at Renderosity....

    Dr Who Wormhole Animated Textures

    Here is a Daz Studio 4.8 Iray rendering using the animated textures...

    Oooh... that's particularly nice.  What texture did you use on it?  Looks kinda like water.

    OK, that's been a few good examples:  Time for some more practical advice.

     

    HOW TO CREATE A WORMHOLE:

    Ingredients:  Two black holes, large, widely separated.  Two very large buckets of negative energy.

    Blend the two buckets of negative energy into a barrel stiring until no more sparks are seen.  Carefully separate the now uniform and fully synchronized energy back into the two buckets.  Have a friend take one of the buckets to one black hole and you go to the other.  Then simultaneously (Note: because of time dilation effects around black holes it's up to you to figure out how to know when "simultaneous" is) both of you dump your negative energy into your respective black holes.  Back away quickly.  If nothing happens then do NOT approach.  Just label a three light year area around each black hole as "Dangerously Unstable", and try again elsewhere.  However, if you were successful then you can wave to your friend at the other side of the wormhole and open your interstellar toll road.

    Leather Gryphon, you forgot to account for time dilation... by the time you marked a failed wormhole "Dangerously Unstable", three to seven thousand years would have passed. :D
