With many thanks to Oshyan who kindly rendered this for me in HD after I edited some various settings from the last one.

Updates are; Ring shadow added, planet radius a bit bigger, soft shadows enabled, moons shifted around a little, rings form and sharpness taken back to their original settings(as seen in The Grudge.tgd in file sharing) and some various other settings that I won't bore you with.

Oshyan tried hard to keep a good balance between render time and quality, unfortunately, it would have taken far too long to render with ample settings to remove the slightly popping moon-shadow on the planet face but I'm very happy with the resulting render. Looks much better than the first, mainly due to the rings, which I softened up far too much in my first video in this thread.

Cheers, Oshyan! And cheers for looking, everyone else! :)

That looks very nice :)
One thing isn't really correct to my eyes and that's the stars shining through the rings and saturns' shadow.
Can't quickly think of a way to fix this though.
Nonetheless it's a great animation, still :)

* EDITED *

Replaced the HD links above with this one; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uL4Bu_qoVfc
This has a new aged-style intro/outro, there's no difference to the main animation.

Cheers for looking! :)
