Process & Development
I sourced two original medium-format photo scans from NASA’s Apollo Archive, removed scan and image artifacts, and ran the images through an AI upscaling algorithm for higher resolution textures.
I then used photogrammetry software to create a rough model and generate textures.Finally, I brought everything into Blender for cleanup, export, and some glamour shots.
