Presentation
AI Sat Update
Overview
Starmind is the animation and render work I produced for SpaceX's AI Sat update, presented by Elon Musk — visualizing a next-generation satellite built to carry compute to orbit.
The brief called for a design language distinct from Starlink: a modular payload bus, deployable radiator panels, and a solar array built for density rather than reach. I handled lighting and the orbital hero shots for the presentation and the renders featured on spacex.com/spacexai/starmind.
