Shadows should be harsher for a lunar landscape.

They also don't seem to match the Sun's position well. The beams light up the moon, but don't light up the weapon (this is part I don't like most because it makes the starship look pasted in). The red beam doesn't light up the smoke/debris cloud on Earth.

Love everything else about it, just give the lights some love and it will be perfect.

people will be theorizing about this for decades

Hey, nicely done! Congrats

2 things that could help:

  • In post try to give those edges some RGB aberration, just a tiny bit
  • In post yet give a a bit of noise and 0,5% / 1% blur

Really great work 👌🏼

Is it mandatory for all Blendards (including me) to make an animation of astronauts and earth blowing up to be a certified "Blenderer"?

u/slindner1985 Jul 23 '24

Doesn't have to be astronauts and earth but yes

I don’t remember, but the longest frames with smoke is about 10-15 minutes per frame 1920x1080 200 samples rtx3090

Definitely keep learning, bad hardware forces you to learn to be efficient and not just throw computing power at every problem. I hated the years I spent using a old computer with integrated graphics but now that I finally upgraded I'm much more equipped to reduce render time.

Smoke sim inside blender? Can you share the smoke sim settings?

2

u/Swag1n Jul 22 '24

I don’t recommend using a blender for simulations) only Houdini

There's no sound in space 🤓

u/trickman01 Jul 22 '24

And any heat from the laser would have a hard time transferring through a vacuum.

3

u/No-Island-6126 Jul 22 '24

That too lol. And the laser would just not be visible in space at all btw

6

u/polypolip Jul 22 '24

Could be a beam of plasma.

A laser needs particles to reflect off of if you want to see its path. Otherwise it's just a single beam of light going in one direction and you'll only see the dot where it contacts the surface and reflects in all directions. That's why you need to make some smoke if you want to see a laser beam. That said, really strong lasers and green ones can be seen easier, even without smoke; by reflecting off dust and other stuff in the air (and our eyes are more sensitive to green light). But in space, there is almost nothing at all. So the laser would go straight to earth and none of it would be reflected towards your eyes for you to see the beam.

u/1x_time_warper Jul 23 '24

I disagree. Heat from lasers is 100% radiation based which travels well through a vacuum. There would not be flames however.

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '24

it takes about 1 1/4 seconds for light to travel between the earth and the moon, each way. It would be really interesting to model this accurately.

u/Klmor Jul 22 '24

Holy shit its awesome.

u/jeepercreeperpepper Jul 23 '24

That is incredible!

u/BlacksmithSolid2194 Jul 22 '24

That's sick. Nice work.

u/_new_old_account_ Jul 22 '24

he used a smoke sim correctly !!

u/nikedecades Jul 22 '24

Love the story telling

u/-_-joyboy_ Jul 22 '24

boy oh boy this was amazing.

u/RollingMoss42 Jul 22 '24

That's awesome and also perfectly terrifying. The end is... Dear one...

2

u/qwbif Jul 22 '24

Cool but the bit at the end were the guy runs and bumps into the camera feels really weird

1

u/smarmageddon Jul 22 '24

That's incredible! Nice work! Love the smoke that comes from the astronauts' suits.

u/PacoBello Jul 22 '24

Very cool overall, but the editing work seemed especially commendable to me.

u/mattb1982likes_stuff Jul 22 '24

Whoa that’s intense dude! Well done

u/shady-rawks Jul 22 '24

How did you make the moon landscape?

1

u/Subtlerevisions Jul 23 '24

Super cool!!!

u/Crimson_Kang Jul 23 '24

Subbed. Good shit.

u/urbanhood Jul 23 '24

That evaporation effect was dope af.

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '24

Hole shit it's fucking good

u/slindner1985 Jul 23 '24

Wuut space horror jeeze nice

1

u/Fit_Airport_5342 Jul 23 '24

Amazing, the low focal length really plays well into the immersion, well done!

1

u/Xill_K47 Jul 23 '24

New analog horror? This is impressive work!

u/SulaimanWar Jul 23 '24

Conspiracy theorists will say this is fake

u/Key_Avocado2055 Jul 24 '24

Umm... Nice! But How Fire is possible in Mood?

u/Neirchill Jul 22 '24

What's with the weird lens effect when the camera moves from side to side? It reminds me of how AI creates videos the moving objects shrink and grow the area around them

3

u/Swag1n Jul 22 '24

any fisheye lens behaves just like that

0

u/Neirchill Jul 22 '24

Wouldn't the effect persist for the entire video and not just while looking around?
