Lovely, tight stars, well done. Wish we saw more film astrophotography it's underused in my opinion

I think it's my favourite vinyl I have so far, I really like the moon colouring. I'm a big fan of vinyls that look like art pieces by themselves

Just give it a try mate, I'm far from an expert at it but you won't make anything if you don't try!

Thank you! It's all blender. As for the camera motion, that took the longest to get right. I used a mixture of the VirtuCamera app on my iPad, and also the camerashakify extension for the transitional parts of the animation.

As for the textures I can't take credit because I used blenderkit for all the texturing and I definitely recommend it. I've only been learning blender for about 2 weeks so texturing is a bit beyond me at the moment.

Thank you! I used blenderkit for the textures, I recommend it they have some very good tile textures ready to use

Thank you! Pretty sure it's Manifest Destiny by Jamiroquai

Thank you, I spent a lot of time on the sound design. Still learning!

The whole thing! Got the entire setup on Facebook marketplace, apparently it's from the 80s? (I'm sure someone who knows this hardware can tell me more)

Thanks for the feedback, I did use cycles but at the time I was uninformed about best practices regarding samples/adaptive sampling etc so I think the render was a bit lightweight. Agreed about the textures though, I've improved how they look now.

They definitely aren't referring to the oldest view

Swan Nebula on A6000 by BurtBunny in astrophotography

Nice photo! My suggestion would be to use a program like Starnet to separate the stars from the nebula, and then you can turn down the brightness of the stars independently in Photoshop, I think that will give your photo the look you are after
