Teun van der Zalm has finally presented amazing results of his experiments with nebula forms.

For the last 16 months Teun van der Zalm has been creating nebula forms using particles controlled by physics. The artist has finally presented amazing results of his experiments and you don’t want to miss that. He has shared a series of videos that perfectly captures the spirit of endless space clouds.

A cloud that veils one of nature’s secret places. This is a stellar nursery, a place where stars are born. They condense by gravity from gas and dust until their temperatures become so high that they begin to shine. Such clouds mark the births of stars as others bear witness to their deaths.

These simulations built from particle physics could be used for games (VR, for example), films and series that rely on VFX and fulldome planetarium shows.
