This is the Forever Grid.


I hooked up a script to the grid properties and away it went, off into the distance....:eek: I may try to find a way to animate this effect.

lol, that's interesting mrbones. :)


Might be interesting to hook it up to an object that you want to go out of view with perspective. Like a fence, or railroad tracks or something. I would think that it would go all the way to the vanishing point wouldn't it?

Great idea Dele, It could have many purposes when you start to think about it in all dimensions.. I was thinking that maybee it could create some dazzeling patterns like a 3d spirograph, or black light poster patterns. Then I started thinking about Tron's light bikes...Should be no difference to do this as a texture on a surface or with a normal map/.would also be great to simulate the movement because it (the forever grid) was continually expanding and moving outward with no end in sight, past the vanishing point of perspective and further beyond....the railroad idea sounds good too
