How this was made. Every frame was rendered, generated or written in code.
3D
• Blender
• Poly Haven + ambientCG: free CC0 models, materials and lighting
Screens
• Every HomeView screen is a web page (HTML/CSS/JS), captured frame by frame in Chrome and mapped onto the 3D glass
Images + video
• Midjourney stills: the house, porch, snowman, bedroom and family photos
• Midjourney image-to-video: the capsule descent, the splashdown and the doorbell feed
• NASA astronaut photos: the aurora, Chicago at night, an orbital sunset. NASA Black Marble for the orbit map
• Depth Anything V2: a depth map so the simulated snow falls behind the snowman
Sound
• ElevenLabs: the voices of the kid, Mom, Siri and mission control, plus the sound effects
• Score: "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" (public domain), composed in code and played on CC0 orchestra samples (VSCO 2, VCSL)
