“AR Solar System” - A mini augmented reality project displaying the major planets of our solar system. Using Blender, I created the Sun and each planet, as well as keyframed their individual orbit animations. Textures were provided by Solar System Scope based on NASA elevation and imagery data.

Models were imported into Adobe Aero, where they were anchored to an art image I painted on Clip Studio Paint to serve as a base for the planets to hover over. Basic user instructions were added to the bottom using InDesign, as well as a QR code to access the experience. Upon completion, the image was printed on 5”x7” matte cardstock to serve as a fun mini solar system art print.

 

Try it for yourself!

A little note: Downloading Adobe Aero is not required. The experience usually loads on its own within a few seconds.
