Moonbeam
Created in Blender in collaboration with PBRMAX, Moonbeam unfolds as a two-part story. The first scene follows an astronaut ascending misty temple steps under soft lantern light, while the second reveals a quiet shrine bathed in a single shaft of moonlight. PBRMAX assets brought depth and realism to the materials—aged stone, worn wood, and carved walls—helping light become the main storyteller. The goal was to create a sense of wonder and peace through stillness and contrast.

"Working with PBRMAX allowed me to focus on lighting and tone rather than texture building. Getting the moonlight and lanterns to blend naturally was the toughest part, but once it settled, the whole scene felt grounded and alive."
