A picture of our latest visualisation

Dylan · Post by **Dylan** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 7:25 pm

Hey friends!

I wanted to share a picture with you of our recently finished visualisation. It's for a monument in Dordrecht, the Netherlands, showing the various states of the buildings from 1572 through 2007. Our team of five at Paladin Studios spent about a month on it.

Here's an image of the monastery in 1572. It's all real-time stuff too, meaning that you can walk through the 3D model (instead of pre-rendered animation).

Hope you like it!

Wow! Can I walk through it online?

Dylan · Post by **Dylan** » Wed Sep 05, 2007 5:43 am

I'm me!

And I've done nothing to the Fanaticism, it's still what it is!

And sadly no, no online version yet, but there will be one soon. The viz will be featured at a exhibition in September and October, afterwards, it will be available to everybody!

Looks great mate, What engine powers the viz Dylan ?

where's the litter? where's the chewing gum? where's the dog poo?

I CAN'T LIVE IN YOUR STERILE WORLD. AAAAAAHHHH.

(very nice)

More importantly....where are the hookers???

It is supposed to be 1572 right?

Cheers Ob, but what do you think of the viz?

The engine we use is trusty Quest3D, it's the software packet we around we set up our company, in a sense. We like it a lot.

Besty, I do agree that it would look nicer with a bit of poo here and there. We'll keep it in mind for our next one!

No hookers, unfortunately.

It would be fun to have hookers evolve into something else from 1572 to 2007... any suggestions?

Anyway, I appreciate all of your comments! I installed the viz on a touch screen info kiosk kind of thing (whatchamacallit), that's a real cool way of experiencing it.

Stay tuned for the downloadable real-time version!

(Or rather, just continue with all of your respective wonderful lives, and then at some point I'll post the link here for your checking pleasure.)

with their pimps driving around in flying cars. You know the 21st Century's gonna have flying cars all over the 'hood.

Hmm, that second picture looks pretty anachronistic for 1572. What with the plate-glass windows and mass-produced bricks and other whatnot.

Oh yeah, and that streetlight is a dead giveaway.

That's probably because it is a picture of the situation in 1912!

We have 1572, 1586, 1756, 1781, 1912 and 1972, if I'm not mistaken. Was pretty cool, this project, was finally able to actually make use of my study again (archaeology).

I like pimps in space cars!

Who doesn't?

I'm guessing the 17th Century was a dark page in their history that they prefer people not to know about... what with the time-travelling pimps in flying cars, or "Ye Orbes!" as I believe the locals would have called them had they spoken like 20th century people poorly mimicking their English contemporaries.

Dylan · Post by **Dylan** » Thu Sep 06, 2007 5:42 am

Most likely, yes.

Oh, and I noticed I missed out poor 1630. That's not a very nice thing to do. Sorry, 1630!

Very pretty!

(and so is the city)

I'm glad you left out the pimps.

Nice work Dylan, though flying robot pimps would improve it.

Indeed, I think we can safely rule out the idea that politicians came about through intelligent design...
