Just thought I'd play around with making a video of the stealth frame.

See if you can tell when the stealth generator is on.

Hmmmmm ... seems like you were turning it on and off more than once. I didn't think you could do that so quickly.

Nope. I just turned it on and off once. The rest of it is space camouflage. That's the only hint I'll give

Sigh. No. Not inverted faces.

Light reflected on the surface of the ship. The surfaces are angled just like you see in aircrafts like the F-117A.

Probably a better resul when light is reflecting away can be achieved by a curved surface.... there will be always a little reflection (so no total camouflage) but it will be way less visible.

Very nice work.

I think you turned Stealth on and off just a little before the end of the Video clip....Very nice indeed....

Stealth field was off for most of the video. I turned it on and then off again after about a second, near the end.

In this case, the stealth field actually makes it more visible, as internal or hidden surfaces are now transparent, reflecting light.

All I did was use a starfield texture on the ship. If there's no light reflecting directly into the camera, it totally blends in.
