Super Video

I see from your comments that you used Greeble for construction.Now there's a name from the past.Haven't played with that plugin for a year or two.

All Good Death Star models should use it

Especially if you create one to blow up along similar lines to your video.

Very nice work!
How did you do depth of field is it right out from Octane?

Bravo!

Actually I did not use Greebles. I had no idea what that was until I looked it up based on the comment. I just applied a city generator script within blender to a sphere. Maybe that is pretty much the same thing as Greebles, but yeah it does appear like the death star and has the same fate as well

@jmlepretre. Yeah all of that Depth of field is straight from octane! one of the best aspects in my opinion.

I didn't knew Octane came with volumetric light... that rays of light (and lense flare) are just beautifully.
Congratulations for your work.

Nice animation, I really love the AE work you put into this piece... turn out pretty good..

Any particular reason the video has Bulwark on it yet your user name is Bulwerk?

Very nice video and effects!

I thought someone might catch that. "BULWARK" is a more common way to spell it. I made the decision to change the name officially after I created my Octane user name. I should probably change that.

Congratulations for your work.

Rays of light look like a After Effects filter not volume light.

@ bulwerk
I noticed that you started this project in 2.49a judging from previous posts. Did you transition to the new version of blender when Enrico released a 2.54 export script, or did you stick with 2.49a?

Thanks!

Also, I want to get my hands dirty with AE. Would you mind just listing the filters that you used? How did you achieve the floating "dust" particles? I think your identify animation is beautiful!
