Sunrise - Computer Screen Saver

Sunrise is a looping space animation built around the quiet perspective of an astronaut floating above the Moon, watching a fully procedural Earth rotate in the distance. The planet, its clouds, atmosphere, and sunlight are all generated through the procedural shading and Geometry Nodes workflow I learned in class, where we explored how to construct complex, customizable systems without relying on external textures. The Sun is constrained to the Earth’s rotation to replicate a believable sunrise, while the cloud layer drifts independently, giving the scene a subtle sense of life inside an otherwise silent universe.

The piece is also a personal homage to Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, especially the moment where Lucy finally reaches the Moon: beautiful, vast, and devastatingly empty without David (her lover, who sacrificed for her dream). That feeling shaped the mood of this project: the idea that achieving a dream is extraordinary, but standing at its summit alone gives the victory a quiet, bittersweet echo.
