Spacecraft, meteor fields, planets and asteroid belts were created in Softimage|3D, with planetary textures and maps out of photoshop. Realistic lens flares were shot in the studio utilising a second unit at the shoot.

Composites were created in Henry by Russell Masters and Steve Tedman.

Particle fire balls and meteor fields were created by Stuart White.
