Natel Energy

Highlighting clean energy with 3D animated videos.

It was important to accurately portray the functioning of the hydroEngine™. We utilized particle data representations and translated these into particle systems that flowed through the blades of the engine. In order to show the flow of water, the movement of the water was represented via the bubbles in the water.

The resulting video told the technical story in a clear and concise manner, aiding their sales and marketing teams.

Project Description

Context

Visually communicate the process of clean hydropower production to educate the community and media on the advantages and groundbreaking techniques used in Natel's sustainable turbine technology for generating renewable energy.

Strategy

Take a unique 3D animated fly-through camera perspective to follow energy production through the hydro process. Make the viewer feel like they are inside the turbine and facility, experiencing the fish-safe and efficient design firsthand.

Impact

The public and press were able to get a full picture of the innovative technology while exploring Natel's hydropower solutions.

The Work

Natel Energy wanted to portray their groundbreaking hydropower technology using a product demo video. Their clients were having difficulty visualizing the way their new technology was functioning and they needed a device to explain the unique movement of their engine. The hydroEngine™ was carefully modeled and textured in 3D to replicate the technical specs of the actual engine. Then, working from scientific fluid dynamics simulations, we replicated the flow of water through the blades to show how the moving water created motion in the hydroEngine™.
