The Homecoming

'The Homecoming'. #3D, #Blender, #Gimp

Nope, not an AI image, although Blender's default denoiser makes it look a little bit like that.

All I wanted is to visualize a Black Hole according to this tutorial:

Too bad, I only could slavishly follow the instructor's manipulations, withough clearly understanding what's what. Still I've altered a thing or two both whilst doing the noodlework with GeoNodes and afterwards in GIMP.

Eventually ended up with something quite obviously reminiscent - and inspired by the art of Max Hay and Stuz0r, albeit much more simplistic.

No 3rd party assets used (save for slavishly copied black hole).
