Accelerating 3D city animations with Shomen
Challenge
Creating an animation of downtown San Francisco in seven weeks
When a production company needs to create an animation of a street or city, it can take days or even weeks to gather all the reference data they need before they even start. The same can be true for scouting locations, with costly site visits causing delays or proving fruitless when the location is unsuitable.
Opportunity
Delivering an exceedingly detailed and accurate map
With HERE 3D maps, powered by AWS, Shomen got an exceedingly detailed, accurate map of San Francisco without having to build or measure anything themselves. With no site visits required, the animation artists were able to get started straight away.
Impact

Faster animation process
