To exemplify the RenderMan NASA Art Challenge, I created this image using many assets from Polyhaven and NASA, using the latest tech in RenderMan 27 and XPU stylization. Kubrick inspired, of course.

I have the privilege to art direct and mentor artists during the art challenges, both technically and creatively.
Check out the brilliant work that artists are doing in the RenderMan art challenges:
