Okay, get your imaginations out and picture this small and fast animation to
be a vantage point near the Sun where a probe passes by. The outer shell
separates with a puff of instantly ionized gas as the camera changes to
filter light from the Sun so as to see the solar flares better.
Just trying this idea out to see where it takes me. Figuring I have to go
with quite a bit of artist license or it won't look any good.
TIA for viewing it.

That looks really impressive, how did you do the sun ?
maybe add some firing thrusters to the probe...
The whole movement (camera/probe) looks very pleasant, good work on that.
And please do a larger version too.

excellent work!, especially the flare on probe seperation, i think you might
be onto a winner with this one!
not sure if i like the way the sun changes tho....
and as chris requested - how about a bigger version :)

Very Cool! It looks like the two outer shell halves decelerate after they are
blown from the probe. They should maintain a constant velocity away from it.
On the other hand maybe they do, but the probe is moving away and getting
smaller so fast that its just an illusion. Anyway, great work!

As everyone else has said, motion is very natural, but change in color of sun is
not well explained.

Done, but I did a major mistake when fooling with clock in the glow portion,
you'll see if you look at it.
The Sun is something I had done earlier in a animation going from Earth to
the Sun at incredible speed. Well, pretending so. It's basically a layer
cake of media in spherical density_map using different patterns for corona,
flares, surface and subsurface. Not really much to it other than the
adjustments to get the right look.
I'm still planning it out far as how it would go. Idea is for this probe to
get there fast with as little time as possible in the hostile environment.
Low profile, rotating, liquid gas insulation, etc.

You're easy to please, it does have it's problems... most of which are
because of me.
I flubbed up the glow expansion. The idea is to have the camera iris close
or turn into a hydrogen alpha filter as it got more of it in view. Maybe
never be realistic but I thought it was the only way to show it as both
intensely bright and have flares on the edge appear.
512 by 320 is now here.

Not an illusion, I wasn't sure I could use linear clock with clockmod.inc
(thanks yet again to Chris Colefax) but sure enough it can be, it's simply a
case of choosing other than the ones available. Needed it to start with 0
at 2/3 clock, anyway I fixed that but messed with the glow expansion and it
now pauses.
Glad you liked.

Camera aperture closing or hydrogen alpha filter gradually applied or both,
think of it that way. However it never will be realistic since I need it to
look theatrical instead. I like to comply with reality, or try to if I can
but for one thing I couldn't be sure of it in this case.

Again, it is very cool, I just think you ought to keep the sun looking all the
time like it did at either the beginning or the end. Either way, you'll fool us
non-astrophysicists. With a change, the little voice says, "of course that
violates physics/ optics of viewing."
