Looks awesome!
Especially find the gas planet fascinating

You mention you had to make the background black because of transparent pixels. Are you referring to the problem with the blender glare node and it not influencing the alpha?

There is that -- that problem stems from an issue with premultiplied alpha which I have absolutely no idea why that's still a thing after all these years

#

but I added the glow in After Effects, not Blender

#

But like, this is the exact same thing made into a gif with no background

#

it has a cutoff for transparent pixels, because .gif doesn't support semitransparent pixels -- or at least, not the tool I use to make .gifs

I usually make my gifs with premier pro and then photoshop XD

#

not sure how alpha is handled there

#

but yeah gifs usually suck

#

yeah i dont think gif supports anything but cutoff alpha

Ooooo what is this for? I've got a project that seems similar but I haven't touched it in a while
