Narn Jumpgate

	Well, this is my attempt to recreate the Narn Jumpgate as seen in the 

ever-so excellent (and needless to say my most FAVE show of all time) science 

fiction television series BABYLON 5.



	This is my first attempt at recreating something from the show by myself.

My previous Vorlon Fighter ship replica (TVorlon) was done with the assistance 

of Dean Scott's excellent version, using it as a reference.



	Modeled in Lightwave 5.0, I can't guarantee that it will be fully formatted 

properly (or compatible) with previous versions, but there shouldn't be any 

problems. I have only used version 3.5 previous to 5.0. This was a bit tough to 

make because there have been only two very short scenes where Narn Jumpgates

where used. Not much to go by.... but I thought this was as close to it as one 

could hope for. 



	I have included four scenes I made up of the Jumpgate sequence for both

the Yellow (Entering) and Blue (Exiting) Vortexes. Two of them use the SpaceFighter 

object included with Lightwave(but not here). When activated, the Generators light 

up in sequence and then tear open a hole into Hyperspace. The Generator Panels 

light up according to what kind of Vortex is activated. (Blue or Yellow)  The Blue 

Vortex swirls outward while the Yellow Vortex swirls inward. 



	Please don't sue me WarnerBros., PTEN, or Foundation Imaging. This was 

made purely for a learning experience for myself and others and not intended for 

anything else. If there are any problems, please contact me.



This can be freely distributed as long as the original archive contents are intact 

(with the exception of Mike Meshew and his Lightrom CD's), there is no profit to 

be made (again with the exception of Mike Meshew and his Lightrom CD's), and 

that there is no broadcast of images made with this object. Also make sure that 

myself, Ron Thornton and Foundation Imaging get their credits due. Those boys 

are damn talented! (With the exception of myself.)



	Oh, and I almost forgot... a VERY special thanks to Dean Scott who has 

helped me so much over the last couple of years. His original Jumpgate inspired me 

to do this Narn Jumpgate. I never would have understood how to use the GRID 
texture 

with fall-off to do the transparent and black ends of the Vortex. Thanks as always 

Dean!



Any questions, ideas, suggestions, criticisms...
