Hi Scratchers!

I've created a black hole simulation that goes beyond just visual effects.

Project Link: View Project



Technical Highlights:
- It actually solves approximations of General Relativity equations to calculate light bending (gravitational lensing).
- This is NOT just a coordinate LUT-based warp; the paths are calculated.
- I use a lookup table (LUT) specifically for the accretion disk texture mapping to maintain performance while keeping high visual fidelity.
- Rendered entirely with 100% Pen.

I tried to balance scientific accuracy with Scratch's performance limits.
I'd love to hear feedback from people interested in physics or 3D rendering!

Nice to meet you! I'll check it out!

BUMP!
