- TeMPOraL 12y agoNow that Interstellar brought this image of a black hole into popular culture, I expect many other movies and games adopting it.
- jacquesm 12y agoInterstellar? How about 'black hole'? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078869/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078869/
- TeMPOraL 12y agoI haven't watched that movie, but I did look at screenshots, and what I see is the bog standard black hole used by everyone everywhere. And I'm not really surprised - after all, Interstellar invented the black hole image this article was talking about, AFAIR it was for this movie that such rendering was attempted the first time ever - so for your reference to be relevant to my comment, we'd have to be dealing with some really serious time travel stuff. ;).
- hughes 12y agoThough not as precise as this implementation, there is an artistic impression of gravitational lensing in the game already[0] http://youtu.be/7txixfOI0tE?t=1m22s http://youtu.be/7txixfOI0tE?t=1m22s
- AlyssaRowan 12y agoExactly! I wouldn't be too surprised if they do… it looks doable. Although you might not want to get your ship too close to one with an accretion disk - it'll burn up. (If you do, at least use an all-black paint-job and look stylish.)
