Reactor texture

Hi guys,

I would like to create a reactor in blender for a short movie. I tryed to just use a emit texture + a glare in post prod but I think it’s not realist.

Do you have another idea ?

Thank you very much !


The image is already great!
To enhance it even further you can create a real (outfading) volume that emits the light so that it do not look so flat.
I suggest you having a look on this tutorial: https://cloud.blender.org/p/caminandes-3/#56c6da5cc379cf0079716873.

Note: Create something similiar as described in the tutorial only if you have a lot of computational power: it will significantly increase you render time!

The light effect for the thrusters is movie material!!! nice job!! You added an emit with a glare you say? I would be very happy with an artwork of mine such as this.
