Projection surface geometry and physical venue constraints were scoped using Rhino 3D NURBS modeling in direct alignment with fabrication schematics. While scaled 3D-printed mockups were utilized strictly for early-stage proof-of-concept and client validation, the core engineering relied on CAD blueprints to plot projector lens ratios, throw distances, and optical overlap zones, resolving hardware conflicts prior to site installation.

Pre-Visualization & Drone Choreography

Custom aspect ratios of the curved physical screen were modeled in Blender to establish exact digital viewport limits. Camera focal lengths and panoramic FOVs were calibrated within Blender’s virtual space, enabling full pre-visualization of drone flight paths and alignment with physical spatial boundaries before aerial filming commenced.

Offshore drone flight paths were matchmoved and camera-tracked in Blender, aligning real-world footage momentum with the virtual environment. Telemetry data guided the camera trajectory from Victoria Harbour toward the physical site coordinates, producing a continuous vector transition between live-action spatial capture and procedurally generated 3D geometry.

Procedural 3D VFX & Motion Graphics Compositing - Blender to AE

High-resolution drone footage served as the spatial reference baseline during compositing. To maintain accuracy, 3D camera tracking was utilised to integrate complex urban overlays over the matchmoved footage. Geographic data was also processed in Blender to generate a procedural point cloud city morphing effect, creating transitions between the live-action footage and the virtual environment. For the motion graphics, location introductions and contextual typography were crafted with premium metallic material textures and glowing light rays in After Effects, to achieve a cinematic finish.

Transit network data was proceduralized in Blender to generate dynamic vector geometry along CAD road outlines. Animation curves and time-remapping modifiers were then authored within Blender and After Effects, to synchronize the traffic flow visualizations with spatial audio cues, converting static transit routes into an accurate and multi-sensory data sequence.
