Howard Day's video: Fortitude Flyby 4K

Okay, the Sweeping Fortitude shot is done! I'm really delighted by the colors on this one, with all the nebulas. I also expanded my use of the gate flares, buy rendering outside the frame of the image a bit, and allowing some falloff out-of-frame to let the flares fade in and out a bit. Incidentally, the nebulas were made in midjourney, and re-colored and repainted a bit to get more the exact feel I was going for. I hope you all enjoy this! The original Fortitude class design is by Joshua Dworkin! 8K gallery of the Fortitude: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Dq60zKmu40quBWC-bTEcZ2dvyU7TNcsl?usp=share_link 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 1-2s 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.
