These are my results after following the "Create a Black Hole in Blender" tutorial by Iridesium. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5naMFeWTBeY The only post-tutorial changes I made were spinning the accretion disk, adding a starfield in the background, and adding some camera shake. I don't think the camera shake makes any sense from a physical perspective, but I think it looks neat and I don't want to wait for it to render again, so it stays! Oh, and I added music from Incompetech, of course. Took a bit over 4 hours to render all 60 frames on a GTX 1660 Ti Mobile. Then looped the animation 9 or 10 times to get 24 seconds of video. Cycles, 192 samples, 1920x1080 resolution. Volume Step Rate set to 0.02 or 0.03 maybe? I dunno. The background starfield is NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day from 2011-4-22: "Virgo Cluster Galaxies" https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap110422.html Music: Stay The Course by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5048-stay-the-course License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license
