Basically, an environment file that's just the time funnel from Doctor Who (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inBxTQwJ4dQ&feature=related#t=5m21s). Obviously it wouldn't be animated though. Would be great if this is possible.

One direction would have to be the red tunnel (future) and the other would have to be the blue tunnel (past).


I might have the time directions for them mixed up, I'm not sure.

Technically speaking, it's orange and purple, but you have them right.

It's the Doppler effect, objects coming towards you turn orange, things going away from you turn purple, due to the pressure applied to light.  This is the same for sound, just with pitch instead of color.

Uh-huh.

Also, light shifting is called red- and blue-shift, not orange- and purple-shift.

Lol, super bump for the point of arguing.

It's called red/ blue shift because that's what it would look like, if the planets could reach light speed.  Since this is impossible, it is technically purple and orange.  Imagine a colored hyperbola, with asymptotes being blue and red.  Since the lines of the hyperbola can never reach the asymptotes, the shape can never be red/blue.

it would be great to get animation

no

please get out if you are just going to argue, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about
colors are frequencies, the only "asymptotes" are zero and infinity
and purple is higher than blue anyway

I have my doubts that doing a color shift would work the way you want, but there is probably some stuff you can mess around with using clouds and the ground plane's shifting feature to make something interesting with particle fields going past.
