Started with a sphere.

Shader properties
-distortion intensity
-distortion panning speed
-fresnel control
-HDR color intensity values for fresnel
-distortion texture (RGB)
-distortion mask for changing distortion flow directions.

Took free online skybox for space background to fit theme and give visual depth.

Created new shader to apply to single plane. Takes a straight line and then curves the uvs into a spiral. Shader has control of inner/ outter spiral colors, speed, number of rings, etc.

Added VFX graph for northern and southern magnetic polls. Took some artistic liberty in creating something unique vs a real life reference for this effect.

Added another vfx graph to juice up the rings. This was done by creating a ring geo in Maya and then using Houdini to generate point data. Then in VFX graph I set position based off point data while adding turbulence / velocity over lifetime

Lastly I grabbed some free asteroids off the asset store to complete the project.
