Creative Services: 3D Animation

3D graphics are a constituent part of other graphics, videos, touch-screens and so on, but they are worth a mention of their own. We’ve used this technology regularly in the past and now with the advent of true photo-realism more possibilities are opening themselves up.

Historic buildings, once in ruins, can be rebuilt; machines can be animated; quirky characters developed. ‘Rat Cousteau’ a be-snorkled rat (that isn’t what he’s really called, but we thought it was funny when we developing him!), tells visitors to Gladstone Pottery museum about sanitation, (or rather the lack of it), during much of the 19th century. The video runs in a reconstructed sewer and the rest of the sewer is extended using 3D graphics on the video screen.

James Watt’s beam engines are animated at Papplewick Pumping Station to show how they function and some of Watt’s clever inventions. As we built this engine from James Watt’s original drawings we discovered his measurements were a couple of inches out, but we wont’ tell anyone if you don’t!

We asked for something to attract children and were told we could have a talking dog! How could we refuse? Added to the dog, we got an animated officer too. It all works very well. The smiles on the children’s faces tells us all we need to know.
