this is another example of why we need a new mod...
this thread should have been locked after the first reply,but its three pages long.

Three pages long? One to me... Ah, the wonders of 40-posts-a-page. Second page and it's a huge thread.

Anyways :

There are many ways to make a tunnel... too many perhaps...

First you can do the usual d=atan(d) movement for a (mostly static view) illusion.

Or you can try the trick in Degnic's "Pipeline" (Right preset/author?) and do some stretchings to simulate a less static view.

Or you can use an rx-dy (Not rd-xy!) movement and make it into a texture and add some transes. (Tuggummi - Putki)

There's also a more complex solution involving raytracing (Read : Raytracing a tunnel). This is by far one of the best solutions (Yes, a bit slow and one bad edge...), but gives you the most freedom in camera movements/rotations. The only problems are figuring out the DM (Just do a little study) and figuring out the right texture.

The last (But certainly not least) is using an SSC, with either the 2D or 3D approach - Both works nicely, but the 3d one is much better.
For a 2d approach, I recommend objects moving in and out (sync+wrapped movement) to give that 3d illusion.

For 3d, you're home free... Until you run into the lots of problems...
You can use a dot-only SSC and texer it so that you can clip the points behind the cam easily and without stray lines (Nic01 - Dot Warpin').

If you want to use lines, you'll either need to use a lot of points for up-to-date clips (Otherwise, ugly lines and ugly edges)... You *can* just clip it, but it takes some work to get the clipping right.
You can also cheat and confine the cam into one view (Nic01 - Just a Tunnel), and with the right tricks, it can make up for the lack of cam movement.

Hope this helps.

uh..Hi Ishan, and welcome to the forums..as I have already told sometime before and I am telling it now too ( after a bit of modification ) that, every n00b who is stupid enough to ask questions without searching the forums gets scolded here... 😁

Ummm ... who's the real dumbassess in this thread?
The guy who's asked an innocent enough question? (I don't care whether it upsets you or not??)

Or the "tools" who spend fk knows how long crapping on, typing pages and pages of useless dribble about how to use a forum properly, we're sick of hearing your shit etc... trying to defend it by saying it will SAVE THEM THE TIME AND HASSLE OF DEALING WITH noobS and Noobish questions???

Some of you spend more time correcting useless questions than you do talking about avs. Report your goddam whining to the mod and leave the forums clear of uneccessary shyte!

Heres an even easier method. Just type in:
Please search the forums before posting unneccessary questions.
And then leave the thread. derrrrrrr.... that took me about 10 seconds to do.

Hmm...let's see...

You just took about three minutes to bitch about people taking three minutes to bitch about stupid questions.
Who's the real dumbass in this thread?
I think you just answered your own question.
legohead#
It took you three minutes to read four paragraphs? I took me 30 secs to write which will hopefully save me hours of plucking through your ranty drivel.

Hmmm... I think it would've taken you longer to crap on about what a major dude is/isn't then rant then find and download a graphic with dumbass on it... deerrrrr....

for your information, i happened to be browsing the "funny-assed pictures thread" in gd at the same time. <edit> saw the dumbass picture and thought it was appropriate. dammit i hate trying to make posts on 4 hrs of sleep and 12 hrs of wake... </edit>

and it takes a lot longer to type than it does to read. the fastest typists i know read twice to three times as fast as they type. i type relatively slowly, but then again i'm usually on a really loud keyboard so i kinda have too...it'd take me about a minute and a half to type that all up, but when you're thinking about what you're typing at the same time it takes about twice that long. hence three minutes.

pwnt.

I think all n00bs do the same fault at least once not to search the forums (me included when i first got here).

I agree that it's anoying to read the same questions every week again, especially if it already has been discussed many times before. On the other Hand, what if we'll once have discussed everything in here? Discussing something twice can be fun too.

@ Ishan, you'll have to admit that it's fun anyway, to watch Atero getting in rage 😛 don't take it too personal.
[Ishan]#
ya i guess it was fun but really it got too hot to call it fun :0
now guys (specially atero and phaze) i hope you are not mad at me anymore 😛
