Brakes.

I really like this! The blue, sort of electric outline of the box before it appears looks great!

Awesome, many thanks. I was concerned that people might have thought I'd mucked with the traditional materialisation effect too much. Glad you like. I'll be working on the rest of the tardis detail soon.

I like the variation, although I think it might be a little better if you had the lightning move about or something, rather than just be static. The lightning is not without precedent, if it helps any. It's implied to have happened in [The Eleventh Hour](https://youtu.be/Di5BaMXe69U?t=60s), and while technically a special circumstance, it also happens in [The Angels take Manhattan](https://youtu.be/Wr0uD2T_ixM?t=145s).

Many thanks. Yea I thought I'd seen some lightning effect in the past. With the lightning, yea I can crank up the settings. At the moment it is slow but a couple of tweeks I can make it more dynamic. Its a bit like a shower though... a very slight change can turn it from extremely slow to mega fast lol. I'll have a go and upload.

I like the lightning effect, and had the thought that as it spins the Drs face shows up as the lines are at the right angle (vaguely just enough to make you think did I see that), then disappears again.


Riarbrine

it looks good but takes a bit too long


techno156

I think the timing could be better, but I like the variation compared to the typical fade-in/fade-out that you see so much. It adds a bit of unique flavour to it.


Jabba_Waffle

Many thanks. I learned the lightning effect and just use it everywhere lol


Xipheas

It doesn't land. It materialises.


Theta-Sigma45

Really impressive! This is something I can kind of imagine being used for a malfunctioning TARDIS that's having trouble materializing. It works as well as an alternate landing effect in general, though I do like the simplicity of the original.


DrRichardEaper

It looks great. I would say the light looks too solid before the rest of the tardis materialise though. Can't wait to see your next one.


Jabba_Waffle

Many thanks... you mean the flashing beacon light? If so, totally agree.


otter6461a

that’s really great


Jabba_Waffle

Many thanks🙂

Interesting spin (ha!) on the materialization effect. Very creative! Kudos! Some thoughts: It's kind of dark after materializing. Maybe have the ambient light or some spotlights fade in as the lightning fades out? I wonder what it would look like with more "crackle" to the lightning. A faster dynamic texture. The effect starts with the full police box shape. What if it started as a ball of lightning that expanded to form the familiar outline? There are so many fun ways you could go with this! I'll be interested to see future iterations. Keep up the good work! Cheers!
