This was one of the last ones to be made. Really happy how well it turned out though considering how simple the astronaut model and lighting actually is.

This was supposed to be like a "leaning tower of Pisa" pose but I'm not sure how well that came across. The sky is nice though.

I tweaked the program I was using to preview the animations to make some .gif files of the different sections.

I put an early version of the astronaut model in some of the shots and joked "hah, they look like selfies" and we ended up going with that theme.

@kieranhj.bsky.social wanted some "simple" UV lookup table effects for the part of the demo that he was coding. We came up with a scheme that allowed some shading and so I just had to add nice lighting and reflections and a bunch of advanced features. I'm really happy with how they turned out.

The other production I had a hand in at Nova 2025 was the Allstar Megademo for the Acorn Archimedes.

For which I made all the graphics and lookup table effects for the "Space Trip" section in #shadertoy.
