I do. Incredible, to think that you did that in just about 2 months' time!

Wow, that is really cool! All POV-Ray?

Yes, very impressive! I especially like the atmospheric
light effects and the water waves.
Two minor nitpicks:
Some camera rotations look a bit distorted to me, e.g. at 6:10.
Possibly a projection effect due to wide angles?
Even dense asteroid regions usually have distances of hundreds
of thousands of kilometers between individual asteroids, but that
is a common misrepresentation in popular science fiction as well ;)

Great :)
I like your destination planet. I think that's the most alien habitable
world I ever saw, while been strangely beautiful.
I concord about the asteroids. I must add that a space flotila would
very probably travel with the various ships separated by at least 100Km.
When you travel at over 300 km/s, such a flight formation can be
qualified *tight*!
But, then, you no longer have anything to see... and visualy, that's bad.

thanks! :)

Well, I did use some (reworked) older work. The planets (both earth and
the alien planet) for example are based on a planet-generator I made
years ago. The lensflare was also designed years ago.
And also, most objects used are *extremely* simple. I think none of the
scenes took more than 3 days to render, for sometimes up to 750 frames.
I also used different tricks that allowed me to use a lower
AA-setting, like mipmapping, scaling things way too big to be realistic,
and using extremely simple textures for far away objects.
But still, I'm kinda proud of the result :)
cu!

Almost all POV-Ray. Obviously I used some photographs as backdrops for
the first few scenes, and also the glowing of the "wormhole" was done in
PP using Blender (I could have done it with POV-Ray though, but it would
have taken longer and looked worse).

the water is simply a plane with a moving granite normal :)

I agree, I probably should have redone that scene, because I also don't
really like the ground texture, or the lens flares there.
Oh well, maybe I'll do a remake sometime. Seems to work for hollywood
these days :)

I suppose so.

I know that :) But if you want realistic space scenes, they're gonna be
quite boring :)
So it's more of an artistic choice rather than a real mistake :)

Original concept was way more alien, but that would have taken far too
long :)
