Description: This project is one of my favorites because of how awesome it is. After watching Interstellar and seeing the black hole in the movie, I went searching to see how it might be possible to create something like that. After watching a few tutorials, I was able to finally make a blackhole. The next step for me was to create this same blackhole in Eevee, so that I could animate it in real time. The way nodes work is slightly different for Eevee and Cycles so that’s an ongoing process.

Description: This project shows the progression of my work with the Hypershade menu in Maya. This shows not only what I made, but how I got there. Each orb is a slight improvement to the last. One thing that I wish I was able to do is place the corresponding node map under each of the orbs to also show the progression there.
