The client requirement was to create a 3D model for generating a wide range of visual assets. This would be an animated artist’s impression of this groundbreaking technology and would also provide a set of b-roll animations to become feature sequences, visual elements (static or animated) for presentation and explanatory purposes. The need was to make it look realistic and demonstrate its scale to help people understand the vast size of the platform. It also helped to establish the branding on the platform so that the logo and the platform begin to be widely seen together. We worked directly with engineers throughout the project to maintain accuracy and there were several review stages. The model includes numerous sub-models to illustrate details such as fences and air-con units. For the animation, step-by-step storyboards were created. Renders were prepared for day, night and different weather conditions. There were experiments with wave movements.
