Total Eclipse of Stanton (in 4k)

[mr-hasgaha]

This is in-game 4k (3840x2160) footage from alpha 3.7 of a total solar eclipse with Lyria (moon of ArcCorp) passing in front of Stanton (star of the Stanton system).

I asked Utho Riley to create the custom score with some rather specific direction and requests. Once again, he nailed it. Does anyone think the piano melody after totality sounds familiar?

ReShade was used in-game during recording to enhance the effect a bit; specifically Bloom, AmbientLight, MultiLut and a few others.

I was pretty surprised to see how the total eclipse was pretty accurate to real life!

Beautifully captured @mr-hasgaha !

Also Utho did a magnificent job with the score!

Dudes....seriously. Too much raw talent combined in that vid. You guys need to work for CIG

Thanks! There could definitely be more VFX work put in to make it even more realer but this worked well enough.

coooOOOOoool

Thank you

Utho's score always puts my videos in a completely different class. I can't say enough about the guy.

Wouldn't that be fun

Spectacular, was this in real-time or sped up as a time-laypse?

Wow, I wander if we will have some sort of in-game news for this kind of event, so une could log in and see them in real time...

So beautiful !

Wow! Spectacular!

Correct me if I am wrong, but the planets don't revolve around the sun, so you had to do a "fly-by" from a distance? How much footage (time-wise) did you take?

Thanks. It was sped up a bit

Maybe. I think if CIG had orbits, sizes, and positioning set up to create eclipses, it would be fun to have watch parties in game.

So beautiful !

Thank you

Correct, planets and moons ROTATE on their axis (day/night cycle) but do not ORBIT a star (for planets) or a planet (for moons), yet. So yes, I was moving to film this from a considerable distance with the longest focal length possible (aka "zoomed in"). As for how much footage... between mistakes, errors, etc; a lot.
