"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler" ~Albert Einstein~
There are old stars in space and they are on their way to the end of life.
To begin to die, the star will first compress itself and suck all surrounding matters it into its core.
This rendering competition is a chance to demonstrate the compressing process of a dying star at particles level.
This is a very useful "tool" to generate such random pattern that looks like realistic objects.
Generated by adapting what we have been provided during the lectures with some modifications. To demonstrate, the noise pattern was mapped onto several quads during test.
With approriate lighting effect, this is the image that was produced after rendering.
Matters are trapped into the dying star core. This is the image at particles level in the center of mass, absorbing everything that is surrounding.
