Wowowow, I'm fresh out of the donut tutorial and this completely blew me away knowing what blender can do and actually successfully doing it myself! I learned a lot, thank you !

Hi, I did it, your tut was easy to follow, tank you 👍 If I have time I will try to animate it 😊

[christianpearson]

That's no moon... it's only a perfect replica in blender 👏💯

[supercoolideas]

Why do I feel like I need solar eclipse glasses to make this 😂

[ramupuli]

Nice. It took me to finish in 3.30 hours.

[FlickerJab]

This is great, learned a lot of little tricks. I like your approach to creating the vignette, I've never seen it done this way before. Quick question, do you have any tips for minimize the gradient banding that happens after adding a vignette?

[HaydenToyHQ]

I also had this idea yesterday ?!

(Not angry )

[bababooey]

just a quick question pls answer me as soon as possible, when I try to add the moon at the end in the compositing the moon it self does not show but when I go back to layout I can see it, do u know how I can fix it?

[mcbkstudios]

Once we finish, after all the compositing, how do we save the final image to our computer? (never mind I just was rendering it wrong or something, I fixed it)

[swizzzle]

Thank you for inspiring me! I was gonna try this in blender but decided to do it in UE5 and animate it. It turned out great! I uploaded a video of it if you want to check out what your inspiration helped me accomplish. Great tutorial, bro!

[ramupuli]
