📋 About This Mod
Compatible with 9. 0
This mod gives the in-game anomalies a new and enhanced visual effect which mimics the gravitational lensing effect around a static spherical blackhole (or wormhole). It derives from the blackhole effect I created for my previous mod Singularity Burst Cannon. I managed to get rid of most of the workarounds in that mod so now the effect can integrate into scene more seamlessly.
In principle the lensing shader/material in this mod can be applied to other objects such as bullets, planets and Jump Gates.
A compact visual overhaul for anomalies in ToA, adding a new effect to wormholes and other in-game anomalies. With 147 endorsements and 6,080 downloads, it's a modestly popular cosmetic mod for players wanting a fresh look without gameplay changes.
