Pulsar Design Simulation

PULSAR!


Oh boy, this one is a cool one! And as far as I know unique!

Here is a low-res video:






For a hi-res video (so much cooler) click here

Obs: To make it spin open the "Pulsar Rotating" file and set the Orbital Cam On, also type in 245 degrees. Higher values will make the pulsar spin faster.

Here is the download link for it.

No it's all dust!!

See the faint stars passing by in the background very fast? That's my light, I had 2 so all sides were illuminated.

So what you see is the video of the orbital cam spinning around the pulsar.

Can't really manipulate dust like that, so I manipulated the universe.

oh i see.

why did you use dust instead of a 3d model?

Because I wanted to do it manually. I find this game to be a challenge. The program lack many features, and I enjoy overcoming them the way I can.

Plus I'm in a dust frenzy. Manipulating a lot of dust lately. I'm getting really good at it. ;-]

Added some extra sim colors to the rar file!

Wow. That's quite incredible. It's fun to see creations made with Universe Sandbox that I hadn't imagined was possible.

And as a suggestion...
You might want to make the rar file a zip file as not everyone has rar tools (but zip is built into windows)... or just make it a folder as you can download a folder as a zip automatically with skydrive.

Indeed. And was quite easy to make too! Sometimes the simpler things are the nicer they apear to be. :)

About the rar, you are probably right. I'll zip'em up.
