Modeled, rendered, and animated in Blender 2.81 with Eevee. Music and sound added in Premiere. Each model uses Principled shader and procedural textures, with two animated cameras and particle effects in the scene. Render time was only around 6 seconds per frame @1080p resolution on my RTX 2070 workstation.

Cool - and dramatic ending too!
Thank you. The animation was obviously created in service of showing off the models and shaders, but it needed some payoff at the end there to hopefully keep it from being too boring. Glad you like it!

Ohhh, I'd love to know how you got that Starball to dissolve down to an Ico Sphere at the end. Very cool indeed!

Thank you, Miss B! The effect was accomplished with particles, as you most likely suspected. I'd make a tutorial but there's already dozens of videos out there which show many variations of the same technique. Here's a link to an easy one: Dust in the wind dissolve tutorial
The Icosahedron was just a separate object I hid inside the starball which revealed itself as the dissolve effect reached the end.

Ohhh, I should've realized that's how you set it up, but now that you mention it, it makes perfect sense. Thanks for the tutorial link, as I'm going to go check it out.
