SpaceStation

[Hannes]

Nothing really dramatic is happening here. I did a little kitbashing with some space station models I have, and tried to make a somehow realistic looking space scene. The planet and the station were rendered separately to have more control. Actually the planet background is a still image I moved in After effects using more or less the correct (camera-) movement you would see, if the planet was in the scene.

Cool, and realistic. The positive is that such scenes render fast without atmo or complicated reflections.

[Hannes]

That's true. Thanks, Ulco!! Actually the station itself took about 50 hours to render, but that's OK I think. 200 frames rendered Full HD with the path tracer.

[Dune]

Ouch, that's longer than I would have imagined.

[Hannes]

Actually there are some metallic surfaces with reflections, so I guess this leads to longer rendertimes. 

[Dune]

Probably, yes.

Amazingly detailed model. Never would have guessed these were two separate shots -- beautiful.

[Hannes]

Thanks a lot, Steve!

This is great! Definitely captures that brooding structure moving through space look.

[Hannes]

Thanks Jordan!!!

Don't know how I missed this but it's a beauty!

[Hannes]

Thank you!!

Very good animation quality. I like the movement of the space station and particularly that of the camera which adds dynamism and a graphic quality to the whole.

[Hannes]

Thanks! Much appreciated!

Why is Jo's text white? Looks a bit funny.
