What it is
A 16-minute Blender tutorial by Iridesium on building a black hole in Cycles. It covers a black hole material using Layer Weight, a photon sphere, and a volumetric accretion disk built from noise textures, with colour and density adjustments and a final render.

I'm trying my hardest to follow this Iridesium tutorial, but every time I try to render it, it doesn't render the Emission Color nodes. Tutorial The Accretion Disk creation 5:03 [this video] The accretion disc material [this video] he later posted it in another video .blend file [LINK]

Recently followed a tutorial in blender: [this video] Which is about making black holes in blender using Volumetrics and noise textures for the side ring and layer weight for the inner hole in Cycles. However, when rendering, there is no colour, and the texture is messed up Heres how it looks while viewing, and the other is the rendered proudct [LINK] [LINK] I have no idea what is causing this problem
Cites Edward Wang · 2021-10 · Blender Stack Exchange · on “Black hole behind glass”
I made a black hole following this tutorial [this video] , and I want to put it behind some glass. However, because of the way the shader uses the facing node from the layer weight (at least I think this is what causes the problem), the black hole disappears when glass is in front of it. How would I fix this? This is in Cycles. Here is the black hole shader (the accretion disk is a separate object). [LINK] This is how the black hole looks normally. [LINK] And this is what it looks like with a plane of glass in front of it. [LINK] [LINK]
