For this project, my goal was to provide my spin on a visually realistic display of the Psyche orbiter’s first encounter with (16) Psyche, as if viewed by a nearby observer in space. To create this scene, I utilized 3D geometry from Peter Rubin and Maxar Technologies as bases for the asteroid and orbiter respectively. I then spent time detailing and texture-painting these models with my own take on visual realism before composing and lighting the final scene.
