Watch a Timelapse of the Death Star Construction

Check out this very cool video showing the construction of the Death Star from Star Wars.

Outside Hollywood made the video and had this to say about it.

This is a personal project that I worked on with my brother. I enjoyed watching a little bit of Death Star assembly in Rogue One, but I wanted to see more. I came up with a very simple method of revealing geometry with Lightwave’s instancing tool, and then started building the underlying parts of the fully armed and operational battlestation. Since there was a lot of procedural animation, I was seeing a lot of interesting shapes appear that I hadn’t planned, but the thing that really pulls it together is the new score by Ben Botkin.

Thanks to Mike for spotting this one.
