little fun

That looks lovely. Beautiful graphics.

Some feedback thoughts: I take it, this is an educational tour of the solar system for school children? IF so, I think its best to speed up the video a tad, it did try my patience as it slowly honed in on each planet. Also, labels and perhaps a piece of descriptive text in a corner to highlight main features of each planet? Some cosmic background music would be nice too.

But great work, Simon!

Heya Tej

Thanks for feedback

Yes its for a tour of the solar system for the kids I will be talking them though the main features of each object hence the timings but latter on the kids will be doing the narration for it but granted I could speed up the transition to each planet got carried away there I think lol

Simon, I think that's brilliant! One thing to watch out for - more perhaps by way of explanation rather than changing the video - is the way the outer planets - especially Jupiter onwards - are shown in a gibbous phase rather than full. That's an accurate rendition of course from a Voyager perspective, but from Earth it might cause a little confusion when you later on get to the explanation about the phases of Venus and Mercury.

You should record some of the kids' narration (give them a planet each?) and repost this here later!

Hi Andy

Thanks for the comments yes I was debating myself on whether to have the planets in full phase or not and would be an easy change as I just need to change the camera angle and re-render which doesn't take long except for the earth which because I added a little more detail takes a few hours to render 🙂 .

Kids narration is something were working on currently and hopefully should have them all in a few weeks time and I will defiantly re-make the video with that included and re-post it.

I'm a bit late but well done Simon! Look forward to the narrated version.
