Party Planets

So this was supposed to be my New Year's submission, but now that a week has passed, who cares? Oh well, it was a busy holiday period for me and didn't even get started on it until the last day of the year. Plus several changes of mine also threw me back, as did a long render time. But it was all worth it even if late since I haven't seen anything like this before and figured wouldn't it be cool to see it

At first I was just going to fill the balloons with all kinds of space phenomena - including galaxies and nebulae too. But somehow I liked choosing more solid-looking objects for them instead, so I went with the contents of the Solar System plus a few other things to fill up some of the extras (after all, I had to have 15 balloons in celebration of this year ) The balloons and some other things were modelled in Cinema 4D, everything was textured and rendered in Vue using my own textures as usual and there was a little postwork on some of them in Photoshop to compensate for certain effects that were just not practical to try and replicate in 3D.
