Nebula Fly Through - Blender Experiment 02

Nebula Fly Through - A Blender Experiment - UHD 4K - 2160p

Drift aimlessly through the center of an endless nebula as a passenger on a ship lost in space. Will your ship and crew make it to the other side? Will you survive? Will you suffer from space sickness?

Stare at the center of this video for 20 seconds and then quickly look at something else. If done correctly, you will likely see your world bending and twisting right before your very eyes!

This video is the result of following a free Blender tutorial produced by Aidy Burrows at CG Masters.

After following the tutorial, I played around; changing settings and tweaking things until I had created something pleasing that was a little different from the nebula produced in the tutorial.

Creating this scene involved animating a camera to fly through a nebula created from an array of transparent planes which have had a "tweaked" noise texture applied to them.

The animation was rendered to individual png files representing each frame. These files were then pulled into Sony Vegas Movie Studio for the final render to which I added the title graphics.

Staring at the video for too long could make you motion sick if you are susceptible (be warned). At the very least, if you stare at the center of rotation long enough and then look away, the things you look at will twist and bend. It's a rather interesting effect all by itself!

The tutorial video is called "Nebulae Cloud Flythrough in Blender | Free Tutorial" and I highly recommend watching it if you are interested in generating 3D nebula and/or clouds in your renders.

The tutorial is a free segment from a more than 12 hour professionally produced VFX course offered by Aidy Burrows and Gleb Alexandrov. The series is titled "Space VFX Elements: the Ultimate Guide to Creating the Galaxy in Blender" and it will guide the student through the creation of "quasars, gas giants, planets, black holes, asteroids and more."
