Visualizing the Future and the Past
The UK studio See3D (
www.see3d.co.uk
)
uses Blender as its primary 3D tool and makes extensive use of the
VSE and composite node system to create stunning animated visualizations of a wide variety of places, products,
and processes. Their clients include corporations, academic research institutes, and government organizations,
and their portfolio features sectors on construction, renewable energy, urban renewal, and heritage visualization
projects. Recently, their depiction of the construction of the Pontcysyllte aqueduct was featured as part of the
BBC's
Hidden Histories
documentary series. The project was commissioned by the Wrexham Town Council,
where the aqueduct is located, to support their bid for World Heritage Site status for the aqueduct. The video it-
self is a beautiful example of historical visualization re-creating the process by which Britain's longest and
highest aqueduct was built more than 200 years ago. You can see the video online on the studio's website at
