This is how we are small and lonely… People, STOP THAT MADNESS. (And let’s embrace our home planet instead 🌍)

Technical Note

This is my first render which I played a lot with composition, to level my art up to more epic and atmospheric style.

• The Laniakea Supercluster is done with multiple particles, by following these steps:
  1. Make the main shape with Skin Modifier or Geometry Nodes.
  2. Generate the guidelines with particle hair.
  3. Convert the hair to meshes.
  4. Generate particles on the hair mesh.
• The Milky Way is done with particles, and a turbulence force as well, to make the hair a bit more look attracted to a specific point.
• For the Sun, I generated flares with a volume shader by following Samuel Krug’s Solar Flares tutorial.
• Composition is done with Blender’s compositor, Davinci Resolve, After Effects and Premiere Pro. (Premiere Composer made it easy.)
• Planet textures are from https://www.solarsystemscope.com/textures/.
• Overall, Iago Mota’s Particle workflow tutorial helped me a lot.

I originally tried to make The Laniakea Supercluster with Geometry Nodes. But, I found that particle system is still better for this kind of thing, because the shape is more manually controllable with it.
