Went back to the vidcaptures and tweaked the model quite
a bit. Hope it looks better now

The ring itself looks like the real thing (uh, prop) in the movie. It
looks like it has been partly buried for support. I don't remember
seeing the red lights in the movie. The bumps in the movie looked
smaller and more dense, but I have not watched it in a while. I have my
own tape of it, so I might look sometimes.
How about putting it within the pyramid or in the military building on
Earth? How about trying to make the pyramid spacecraft and making an
animation of it blowing up? Maybe #undef could be used to make the
pyramid object go out of existence.

It's been some time since I viewed the move, but I think the gate had a
little more red or yellow to its color. Right now it looks like a very
big car tire. I think the ripples in the gate proper should sort of
radiate from the middle, but I can't recall how they looked in the film.
Also, the ripple look as if they are reflecting rather than emitting
light. Otherwise, an interseting interpretation of the gate.

Well, in the movie, and in the series, the chevrons (red thingies)
lock one after the other, lighting up red. When all chevrons are
set, the stargate open with the watery sploosh effect.
Of course, it does not look exactly as the fiberglass prop, just
close enough.

Hm. I got some good columns of egyptian style. Next weekend ?

hm. And cause a parse error ?

Nah. It's a grayish, greenish, blueish kind of steel color.

Ouch, that hurts! :-) I have to work one the finish to include the
veining and the wear-&-tear of a million years old artefact.

In the movie, it look'd like a pool with a 500 watt spot in it... which
it most probably was. In the series the horizon is CGIed, and it looks
pretty much like that. Due to artistic licence, it is sometimes almost
transparent, sometimes it shines but is opaque, sometimes is reflects.
I hope this isn't going to degenerate to a trekky kind of argument
about the geometry of the warp bubble for speeds above warp 7.5 :-)
I should use media for atmosphere and have the rays of light shine
in the dust or something.
Best,
S.

How do you get the chevrons to move while being buried in the sand?
There's also something not quite right about the chevrons themselves. I
can see that the jpeg compression did them a lot of damage, but even
then...
If your p.b.i. archive goes far enough, there were reaaaaaaaaaaaly good
images of the Star Gate in the NORAD facility posted here about a year
ago. You might want to take a look at it.

Also, if you look back through the animations group, HE Day did an
amazing animation of the cloud thing that comes out of the gate when it
opens (again about a year ago). I don't remember seeing it ever
attached to an image of the gate though. Maybe that would be a good
thing to do?

You have certianly done your research. My memory of the file is
obviously faulty. The clip you posted showed all kinds of chips, etc.
Are you going to try to add them to the model?

It looks excellent, but there's one slight problem. In the image, you see
seven quartz crystals, evenly spaced. Their spacing suggests that there
would be an eighth or even a ninth crystal on the part of the ring that's
buried.
