Animate a Blender Nebula with Midjourney Video Mark Kingsnorth 2025-08-18 | In this video, I’ll demonstrate how I created unique nebula animations by combining Blender’s Nebula Generator with Midjourney’s animation features.Blog Post: markkingsnorth.com/2025/08/18/animating-nebulae-with-blender-and-midjourneyFirst the nebula is designed in Blender and rendered as a single still image. Then, we’ll feed that image into Midjourney to create a flythrough animation — and take it further by making a looped animation, which is *almost* perfect.Controversy aside, this workflow is a good way to quickly prototype ideas, explore creative directions, and produce something that’s both unique and visually striking.What you’ll see in this video:- How to render a nebula still in Blender using the Nebula Generator- How to use Midjourney to turn that still into a flythrough animation- How to extend the result into a looping animation- Pros and cons of using Midjourney vs. Blender Eevee for animationTry the Nebula Generator add-on for Blender: superhivemarket.com/products/nebula-generator?ref=361Animation Examples:cdn.midjourney.com/video/aef5427d-178b-4efe-881a-6d62194e5b2e/0.mp4cdn.midjourney.com/video/d8c99def-872d-4edc-8be8-f26b3fda07d3/1.mp4cdn.midjourney.com/video/e92ffdef-da9e-4415-932d-ceaa7a1fd77d/0.mp4cdn.midjourney.com/video/84c361fc-5b29-4f0d-b8db-fefdec779367/0.mp4cdn.midjourney.com/video/84c361fc-5b29-4f0d-b8db-fefdec779367/0.mp4cdn.midjourney.com/video/12911755-13e2-4aad-9d1b-f0ff5a7a5d4b/3.mp4Failures:cdn.midjourney.com/video/9701d0ca-7595-4b18-abc2-fffb290e4fd2/1.mp4cdn.midjourney.com/video/5387192a-5091-4603-bf61-a19cd06942c6/1.mp4cdn.midjourney.com/video/64e96b6f-e65a-47ca-b76e-827453ba600d/2.mp4If you found this useful, like and subscribe — and let me know in the comments if you’ve tried mixing Blender with AI tools for animation.
