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.
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.
Ouch, that's longer than I would have imagined.
Actually there are some metallic surfaces with reflections, so I guess this leads to longer rendertimes.
Probably, yes.
Amazingly detailed model. Never would have guessed these were two separate shots -- beautiful.
Thanks a lot, Steve!
This is great! Definitely captures that brooding structure moving through space look.
Thanks Jordan!!!
Don't know how I missed this but it's a beauty!
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.
Thanks! Much appreciated! :)
Why is Jo's text white? Looks a bit funny.
I have some dark theme, so all the texts are white in my browser, but Jo's font is different, larger and bold.
I often use a translator on the WEB and sometimes the copy-paste comes out too gloomy in this forum. To lighten it I have no choice to use white.
Forgot about the dark theme. So everyone using a dark theme won't see any black letters, and everybody using a light theme (such as me) won't be able to see the white text :P I guess the theme should address that.

I think it would be visible since the background is kind of a mid grey.
Yeah, I guess so. I overstated it a bit ;D

The theme can't address anyones custom colors, they just need to be aware of how they look. Using the default color (no color) will allow it to be light or dark depending on the theme. So select your text and hit the Screenshot_8.png button.
Though this sort of functionality could be implemented. Not sure if this is the only way, and seems way over the top: https://css-tricks.com/reverse-text-color-mix-blend-mode/
Probably best to just use a invert filter on dark theme
.invert {
filter: invert(100%);
}
