The Moon - CG Recreation

Artwork Finished Projects

In this project, I attempted to recreate the Moon accurately in Blender (Cycles), using image maps from NASA, and real values for the Sun. I also tried my best to recreate the well known shot of an almost full Moon from the Apollo 8 mission. Photoshop was used to compose the final renders.
