Galaxy Loop

A fairly simple, looping animation of a galaxy-looking-thing I made quickly for projecting onto the set of a live performance.

Tech Stuff:

I rendered out 4 single frame passes from Maya 2008 which were:

Star pass 1 - Particle system.
Star pass 2 - Paint Effects stars.
Galaxy pass purple - 3D Fluid Effects creation.
Galaxy pass orange - Same again... but orange and some other tweaks.

Then I did the animation and star twinkling etc in Eyeon's Fusion 5 compositing software.

Rendering only still passes and then doing all the animation in 2D was the key to getting this done really fast!

Eww sorry about the feral compression killing the first 4 seconds I'll try and get it working better. :P

@EssieP не важно.

@xmanmarkk what do you mean?

[xmanmarkk]

@EssieP Remember whirlpool. It must be faster.

[EssieP]

@xmanmarkk Er, no it shouldn't. That's why the dark matter theory was thought up.

There should be a core to the galaxy though and the starts need to rotate along with the gas clouds

[xmanmarkk]

In the center rotation must be faster.

Very nicely done
