'Space: 1959' A Retro Space Odyssey

Here are some shots of the lunar recon rocket model I made. Modelling in Blender, texturing in Photoshop and Painter.






Next up are shots of the compositing and editing of effects in Blender. All compositing and video editing except for one or two shots was done in Blender.




The ships, stars and planet were all rendered to layers, and then composited together with effects added. The planet was originally rendered in Cycles, but the atmosphere haze looked horrible so I came up with a fix. I found out how to render the planet with refraction in Eevee and then copied the planet layer, put it behind the main layer and applied a blur to the back layer. Instant atmosphere haze!
The attitude jets were done by Adam Palmer and were added as a render layer in the editing process.
