How do I spawn a rift in a specific area?

[1noden]

Hello!
I'm trying to make art, with a temporal rift in it, but frankly, temporal rifts are waaay too hard to draw.
So I'm trying to just greenscreen a rift, or render it as a transparent image, but I have no idea how to render one so spawning one and green screening it is my best option

So how do I spawn a rift? 

Or... render the rift shader in a way that I can use as a transparent PNG.

thanks!

I'm not sure that you can spawn them...if you can, I don't know how. But for snipping a rift from an image and pasting it into a different picture, you could probably just take several different screenshots of rifts in general(preferably without much detail in the background). Select whichever one looks the best, cut it from the image, paste into the new image and then blend/fade the edges of your cutout so it looks a bit more natural.

However...what I would recommend doing instead, since you indicated you were drawing the image--stylize the rift instead of trying to copy the design exactly. One of the advantages to drawing is that you get to "cheat" by adjusting details as you see fit. Maybe it's a literal tear in the air, or a simple zany-looking doorway, instead of the rust-colored swirlies that we see in-game. Or maybe it looks like something else. The key is to fit it to the style you're drawing in, and use a design that looks like it could believably be spawning horrors from another dimension.

Cool! I will probably try some of these options, thanks for responding, even if you don't know how to spawn a rift.
I ended up just finding a rift, then placing a greenscreen background around it, I used green creativeglow blocks and just rendered the green out.

I will probably try to draw a rift for my final image though....
thanx :3

Oh snap, I didn't even think of that, that's a great idea! Good luck, and hope the drawing turns out well for you!
