Black Hole - Heroes Comic Con Autumn 2025
As a 3D motion designer at Whojo, I worked on an ambitious project for Heroes Comic Con Brussels, Autumn 2025 edition. As part of the introduction video for welcoming actors to the Q&A stage, I created this black hole scene in Blender. Taking inspiration from Interstellar's black hole, I created a multitude of materials for each layer of the black hole, and rendered the scene in Cycles.
I'm very grateful to have worked on such a big project. Seeing it on the big screen was truly rewarding.
A look at the various shaders I created for each layer of the black hole. Mostly based on procedural noise.
The singularity itself makes use of a refraction shader. While the event horizon and accretion disk are a mix of emissive and volumetric shaders.
For the dust field around the singularity I created a noise-based volumetric shader, which becomes a lot more clear when getting closer and lower towards the event horizon.
A clearer look at the nebula around the black hole, which was eventually toned down a bunch for the final render.
