      • As we nerds say, spaceships + a black hole or a quasar in the background = pure unadulterated awesomeness.

      What a surprise to have this one for free !
      The camera facing trick is a great idea, made me feel stupid not to have thought of it before. Blackrainbow’s technique for Gargantua could probably be simplified with this.
      There is one thing I would improve about your effect though : since a wormhole like the one in Interstellar is a portal (shortcut) to another part of the universe, we should see that other part (another environment) in the sphere instead of the reflection of the current environment.

      This would look really awesome and could be easily achieved with the same trick you use here at 1:37 : https://youtu.be/he2hGB4n-nw?t=97 (I guess you plugged the reflection output of a texture coordinate to the vector input of an environment texture and used it on an emission shader that you added to the glossy, or something similar).

      Very nice of you to give this one for free !

      Assuming it would lead to a nebula or a galaxy with different colors, it could look really awesome and be easily achieved.

        This IOR using facing thing is really cool, also nice that it works on so many inputs. Which my renderer had that, i cant reproduce this image until that part. All the rest i got covered. I just cant stretch the IOR to the borders of the mesh without such thing.

        PS if i understand the blackhole correctis what you see is actually way past the hole at the back, the ring around is actually al light behind it which is warped around the hole. Its very technical stuff, the link is posted show some other crazy ass render. I see youve posted there already

        • Caetano Veyssières

          Sorry, I did not really understand your reply. Why can’t you reproduce the effect ?
          What do you mean by “black hole correctis” ? Is it about my idea of showing the other part of the universe inside the sphere ?
          What link with other crazy ass renders are you talking about ?

      • I love the silky smooth gravitational lensing in this one, and a hint of a star beyond. Well done and thanks for sharing, that’s always appreciated! 🙂

        • Nittu

          Thanks bro for your reply. It means a lot to me.
          I’m amazed by your talent. I’m a newbie to Blender, but your tutorials makes me to do more creative stuffs. Keep up the good work. 🙂

      Just like the SFX in Star Wars! Wait! The stars look better! (I hate these white star wars stars!)
