It's not often that I can offer you an Altair IV planet tour. 3D artist Robert Bertie gained a lot of inspiration from the Forbidden Planet movie and managed to 3D model most of the iconic scenes that used to be static matte paintings in the 1956 movie. Check out his work here:

It's incredible how much work went into all of this and am honored and pleased to give you a tour while adding my own music. The scenes involve the arrival, mansion, study and - obviously - the ancient Krell machines. I am sure you're familiar with Krell patches, but it adds a new dimension to see moving images that started it all, without violating any MGM copyrights.
I used a bit of AI generation at the beginning to show you that AI still has to come a long way compared to the human skill of 3D modeling by hand. I am sure AI will be able to generate models and render scenes in a near future, but when it doesn't know about Altair IV, it's unlikely it can to a good job visualizing it. Robert Bertie's work stays really faithful to the original vision of the movie and I hope you'll enjoy the tour.
