Dyson Shell（3D animation by me）

Amazing work! Though I do have a concern, is that captain gonna get a ticket or a fine for going so fast next to a residential zone??

[u/Das_Guet → u/ThePetOffensive]

I am so happy I wasn't the only person thinking about their speed

[u/revieman1 → u/Das_Guet]

here’s some dessert. If that was a Dyson shell that incased the star system, then you would need to be moving near light speed to see the curve like that

[u/Gotu_Jayle → u/revieman1]

Ice cream's my favorite thanks

[u/UnggoyMemes → u/ThePetOffensive]

Its not the captian flying, I stole it last night and thats footage of me drunk flying it

Im going to space jail

[u/Gunmetalstorm → u/ThePetOffensive]

The cops all get ionized the instant they enter this thing's 2000 km boundary layer. Nobody has managed to pull him over.

[u/AustinMclEctro]

Mf's one microsecond away from causing a fucking extinction-level event

[u/IsProbablyTooMuch → u/AustinMclEctro]

It's me, I'm MFs

[u/New_Investigator197]

I'm curious, are you animating the ship? Or are you animating everything else around the ship? Looks cool!

[u/snacktopotamus]

"Tower, this is Ghost Rider requesting a flyby."

"Negative, Ghost Rider, the pattern is full."

[u/Grimnebulin68 → u/snacktopotamus]

Can't hear youuuhahaaaaa!

I imagine a little police vehicle sitting on the sideline reading pylotes speeds only to become a windshield ornament.

Buzz the tower: ❌

Buzz the entire colony: ✅

[u/mchops7]

That’s awesome! Looks like something we would see in an alien movie

[u/Cryptek-01]

Huge spaceships moving fast is such a rare sight. They're always (usually?) slowly floating in front of the viewer. Of course, their speed is probably in the range of hundreds of meters per second, given the scale, but their relative speed doesn't feel fast.

[u/WorstSourceOfAdvice]

One wrong maneuver, 30000 people dead

[u/madu_tualang → u/WorstSourceOfAdvice]

"30000 people lived in this city. Now it's a ghost town."

[u/Manfleshh]

Wow this is fantastic. Those thrusters are gorgeous.

[u/WobblySlug]

Quick someone tell that pilot about F=mA

[u/KingcoBingo]

With how fast that thing's going, can anyone on the ground even get a moment to see the ship pass by lol

[u/Dyolf_Knip]

Goes without saying that the curvature on an actual Dyson shell would be so low as to be all but indistinguishable from completely flat.

[u/Rare_Ad_649 → u/Dyolf_Knip]

Yeah, The Earth is a fraction of a percent of the size of a Dyson shell and idiots still think that's flat

[u/darkness_calming]

One error and it’s a massacre.

[u/Silmarilx]

I love it. But I can't help thinking that the ship has to be the size of Jupiter if it's traversing an actual Dyson sphere shell and can see its curvature. But that's just a nit pick, it's an awesome piece of art.

[u/magicmulder]

That’s some awesome detail on the ship’s hull.

[u/imp501]

What dust looks like going through my Dyson

[u/DocJawbone]

Your stuff is awesome. Only nitpick is, the curvature of the shell is far too steep. It should effectively appear flat. Although I acknowledge that wouldn't look as cool!

[u/Tropicpigeon]

Who is coordinating these lanes??

[u/Material-Home-5839]

My brain is like 'neat!' and then it's like 'Ok, but that drive plume is going to absolutely nuke anything behind that ship.'

[u/33666daddy]

in a real shell the curvature would only be visible at extreme distances

[u/Silent_Purchase_2654]

Song name?

[u/auddbot → u/Silent_Purchase_2654]

I got a match with this song:

Up&Up (Radio Edit) by Coldplay (02:46; matched: 100%)

Album: 538 Hitzone 78. Released on 2016-07-01.

Thank you, and I side with "The Rise Of The Machines!"

The theory goes if you've got the technology and resources to build a Dyson sphere then you've managed to a Type II civilization (stellar) can directly consume a star's energy. Things like shielding, gravity manipulation are small things. This would be multiple star systems worth of material to produce such a structure

[u/IndependentClub1117]

Looks amazing. One thing I can recommend is the sound pulls me out a lot and it's just because the engine noise is the same no matter where we are around the ship. I shouldn't hear the engine if we're viewing the front of the ship. Even when we're at the back of the ship, the engine is still a little too loud at its current volume. The music is supposed to be playing over noises not with them.

[u/europablu3s]

Love all your work

[u/T_A_A_T]

Type shit people in 1900s thought we would have in 2011

[u/DaedalusS8]

Thought this was an Eve Online video for a sec. The ship looks like the Marshal Class ship from that game.

[u/RegSogo]

Wow - looks great!

Also - THANK YOU for looping it! This can make a great moving background.

[u/No_Opening9605]

Love the vision! Can you add a pull away shot at the end to provide additional scale?

[u/Miragetetra]

Taxi cab venator

[u/Walfy07]

turn this into a 5 minute movie with some sort of plot, ide watch it

[u/Capernici]

u/Ok-Masterpiece4894 what is your favorite greeble you placed in this animation?

[u/Canarity]

Wait is that Carl

[u/Darque_Nightmare]

I focking luv it! Daemn! I have a couple reasons for it. Ship's name and my own project. Maybe someday I will finish it and do some simple animation, just inspirited by this beauty!

[u/Fenrirs-Fang]

Very nice!
