Surfing on Solar Flares

Dec. 8th, 2025
Production Log preview

We are currently working on the last major pieces of effects on the film. The background creatures are finally getting their textures and the final frame compositing pipeline is prepared.

This week I made a setup for our solar flares. The suns are being sucked in by the black hole, so we needed a setup that integrates the manually animated flares and the volumetric render of the suns. This will still need some tweaking, but it's a great starting point so far.

It was a shorter week because of visiting the Breda Games Week event, but I managed to do some fx design and started giving the background creatures a texture painting pass!
