Howard Day's video: Behold the Shangri-La 4k Flyby

After seeing that shot in Picard of the Titan-A that called back to the close, swooping shot of the Refit Enterprise, I felt challenged to do the same with my model of Bill Krause's Shangri-La. I also figured out how to do gate flares in AE, and this was a test of that. The original Shangri-la class design is by Bill Krause! https://www.instagram.com/admiralbuck/ As always this is rendered in 3DSMax 2022.3, using VRay 6 GPU Optix. I'm using a 4090 RTX. Render time averages were 1m30s and 2m30s respectively, with about .25s-.5s for post effects application per frame. It's 500 frames long at 24fps. Post in After Effects, using Sapphire by BorisFX for the lens flares, and Red Giant Looks for the color correction.
