| SOLAR FLARE MOTION TEST - Test render of the sun for MK1. Animated Perlin noise shader applied to the orb for color/texture and displacement. The flares are comprised of 6 particle systems (2 for the surface flames, inner flares layer and outer flares layer). The NURBs sphere (for the orb) is a surface emitter of points that emit tube (sw) particles (with a particle cloud shader) for the actual flares. The point particles emitted from the surface are pushed back in toward the orb by radial fields, creating the arcing loop shapes. Turbulence fields with expressions animating the z-phase used for randomness and secondary animation. Orb and flares composited, and glow added with After Effect/Shine. |
