I picked up Big Medium Small's Astronova characters as soon as they came out but have was too busy in work to dive in. I finally had a chance at the end of 2023 and eagerly put together from some recycled Orbiter parts I had from an unused project ever since. I had some great input from other designers on how to work with the mist pass in Blender to create some better depth.

This was my first project in Blender 4.0 and I really loved the render speeds, a full 4k scene in less that 10 mins, including lighting, volumetrics, and compositing.
