Are you asking for the graph??
It's only a snap from your BH and a bit of photoshop...

Well I know you are working on it, so what I tried to explain is my preocupation for just reproducing this picture...

Well let's wait for your work... :wink:

Yes, of course. You can edit the addon as you like.


Great I will make a version with some little changes, when ready I want your comments...

bye

Your textures appears to be good. They may cause a small problem on the jets, however. Adding some graininess to the spiral will destroy the oneway movement effect (that's why I made simple, pure spirals). The grains will reveal the rotation of the tubes.

Cham, you can use these textures and models to make an amazing object - a gamma burst. Just put your model of a black hole with jets into a center of a huge, exploding star.

Here are official NASA movies about the physics of gamma bursts:

Would be amazing to see something similar in Celestia. I'm not talking about an animation of exploding star, of course, I don't think it's possible to do, but a frozen phase of its explosion would be amazing too.

Imagine: you see an exploding star in Celestia, you see jets... Then you make a close-up and what do you see inside the star? A black hole.

this is an interesting page. Thanks.

It's really fascinating.
