3D Communication

R&D

Filling the knowledge gap between two separate groups, bridging together distinct disciplines for a common goal of collaboration.
3D communication is way of conveying an idea or concept using 3D illustrations and animations.
We can break the barriers between disciplines and explain the esoteric with the use of 3D communication.

Using 3D assets, the viewer is able to connect on multiple layers with the subject, because it looks like what they are accustomed to seeing, is accurate, and therefore engaging.

Traditional forms of communication solely relying on linear 2D storytelling, rooted in video presentation or slideshows tend to lack something, and tend to miss making a lasting impression on the non-linear spatial makeup of humane thought and memory. Assuming your audience will stay awake for your presentations, the low level of engagement precludes useful recall. For the transfer of critical information, this becomes an issue.

Our approach combines, visually stimulating 3D models, narration and call-out text to inculcate the message. Being able to use 3D models allows us to control what we want the viewer to focus on. With a model it is much easier to concentrate areas of focus by muting certain materials in one place, or being able to completely remove walls, cut through objects and clutter. In this example we created an animation that illustrates how this water filtration system operates.

The animation and illustrations were used as part of trade show exhibit, and later integrated into a marketing piece.  The scientist did not want to give away certain details, but did want to communicate that this water cleaning system is easy to install, cost effective and is the best alternative for hot tub water filtration.

Safety & Orientation

Currently the oil & gas industry lacks engaging training animation materials. We were approached and challenged to create a safety training animation that would finally engage the rig workers, and be used as part of their normal procedures.

This animation was part of comprehensive media piece that also introduced rig visitors and service personnel to the oilrig. To this date, anybody visiting the rig must watch this video before entering. This animation / video clearly illustrates the unique features of the CDR2-AC (Coil Tube Drilling Rig), its fire exits, muster areas, warning areas such as the pipe shed, cellar and rig floor.

Rig workers watch this video as well as go through their ops manuals during pre-job meetings. Being able to see the parts and cutaways helps the rig worker visualize what is outlined in the ops manual; this is useful even for workers that are familiar with the procedure, because it provides an opportunity for review and discussion

Engineering Presentations

This oil and gas company was developing a method of inserting a rigless ESP (Electric Submersible Pump) that will not require a full straight pipe rig for retrieval and maintenance.

They needed to illustrate how the pump can be serviced with just a wire line service trailer and wire line truck. The animation further illustrates how this electric submersible pump can be retrieved without tripping out the entire length of straight pipe. The system developed by the Artificial Lift Company, allows the pump to be retrieved through the production tubing, thereby greatly reducing operating costs.

Obviously this effort to develop this technology by the well-completions group required much funding by the operators, so this animation was useful in describing to the executives what the technology is all about and why it was a project worth funding.

At res3D we take pride in making sure that our models are accurate to each job, are modeled after actual equipment to be used. We do not stock our clients projects full of stock models and graphics.

Corporate Presentations

When a regional director or group project manager needs to make a presentation to upper management, boards or executives they usually have to share the their audiences attention with other managers; it therefore becomes important that the presentation is quick, concise and makes an impact.

Sometimes the information is very complicated, site images look cluttered and are difficult to understand, and graphs packed with information take long to explain. Engineers presenting the materials are brilliant, but not so great at public speaking; all these things make the time the managers spend doing the presentation that more critical.

Res3D is able to tailor the presentation to fit the needs of the presenter keeping in mind the audience.   We can insert animations into the clients PowerPoint, or Keynote presentation, provide individual slides, and create a full-featured animation with narration and text callouts.

Forensic Modeling

We can provide forensic models and animation as well as the interactive displays to present the models to arbitrators or juries.

Raw engineering data and graphics tend to be difficult to read by non-engineers, therefore the renderings and animations compliment the engineering data, providing a recognizable visual reference.

These graphics are used to complement the attorneys arguments. Whether communicating with a judge, jury or arbitrator having supporting illustrations will help elucidate the esoteric.

When the presenter has a finite amount of time to make a point, using renderings and animation will help shorten the presentation and give the presenter and audience a point of reference.

Accident scene reconstruction based on engineers data combined with accurate vehicle modeling helps tell the story, helps depict the chain of events during collision. With animation we can show deformations of modeled components based on the original drawings.

The models are based on a combination of 3D laser scans, scaled photographs and drawings. The process starts with a series of scans of an intact vehicle. A second series of scans is done on the damaged vehicle. Each of these series will need to be stitched together to form a complete data cloud. We can then insert this data cloud into a 3D software to attain measurements and apply meshes to represent the cloud.
