I created this short animation in Blender to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Beagle 2, the UK's lost Mars lander, touching down on the red planet.
I used Blender to model the lander itself based on the few publicly available reference documents, then textured it in Substance Painter. I then rendered it in Blender in a martian landscape, trying to depict it as it may appear now, 20 years later, with one solar array failed to deploy and two decades of martian dust accumulated on it.

Lovely. Really an excellent memorial to this mission and its scientists. Beautiful to look at. Take a bow.
Whow. Brilliant staging, great sound design!
wow indeed.
lovely piece, and sad to see he didn't live long enough to see the beagle found.
