My Earliest Space Video From Over 20 Years Ago
I created this video using POVRay in the 1990's showing a spacecraft being sent to divert a comet using a nuclear blast. I didn't use a modeller, I hand coded all the scene files, all the animations, and even wrote an asteroid generation system that started with a cube and subdivided it into polygons.
It has several obvious mistakes (like keeping the fairing around for no reason other than wanting it to look cool), and lots of wasted time panning around the object, but bits of this animation still ended up getting used in a TV show.

Did you ever make a voiceover version like your comment from 4 years ago was considering?
armagheddon?, more like armaghetton amirite? :-p
Throw back Thursday isn't for a few more days, but great video. It's crazy to think about how much work went into that and the tools we have now to do this sort of thing automatically
