We continue to defy the market slow down by donning our 3D hard hats and remaining extremely busy on a number of engineering projects. These have included a construction sequence and an educational/informative video of a 63km future pipeline which involved helicopter flights for the team. We have also expanded the team as we diversify in preparation for future challenges.

The team are beating the winter blues by working on projects in California, Cyprus and Ukraine. As we develop our service offerings to our clients we have developed a unique way of visualising full construction sequences. This entails showing the full build of a project which is then linked directly to the project schedule.

You can take the team out of Liverpool……but not the projects.
This month we had the pleasure of developing an interactive 3D model for Liverpool’s newly opened Echo Arena.  The venue provides conferencing facilities as well as hosting high profile concerts and events, including the MTV Europe Music Awards 2008 no less! Our interactive arena allows customers to plan and visualise their future events from the comfort of their offices.

We’ve also been busy developing a Masterplan for a commercial development in the South of England, this included modelling a hotel, 15 individually designed buildings and a Porsche dealership.

Neat3D, producers of 3D visuals and animation services, has successfully completed their integration into MWH - one of the world's largest providers of water, environmental, infrastructure and energy services.

The agreement sees Mark Wynne remain at the helm of the business he founded in 2004 by now leading a new MWH business unit. Neat3D’s impressive portfolio includes St Pancras Station, several nuclear facilities and a number of large building development projects around Europe.
David Smith, MWH's Director of Business Strategy commented "We are delighted to have Mark Wynne and his team join MWH. There are complimentary skills between MWH and Neat3D which mean we will be able to offer an even better service to our local and global clients".

Mark Wynne commented, “MWH has a fantastic global presence and we hope that our innovative and creative skills can help grow further business to the benefit of our clients. I think it is important in this present day to have a diverse capability and MWH clearly has expanded that now by bringing Neat3D onboard”. The MWH Neat3D business unit will operate from the MWH UK Office at Dominion House, Warrington.

Again talk about diversity; the team has completed a series of set design 3D images for an international daytime TV show, which was then followed by 3D medical animations for a pharmaceutical product. And then a very exclusive set of images and animation for a prestige development in the North East of England. This might go down in our records as one of our most random months for producing 3D visuals and animations yet!!!

Another Win..!!! 3D images for the new Faro Airport in Portugal for Chapman Taylor Architects and has just heard they have successfully won the contract…Lets hope we get the chance of site visit. We have produced over 40 still CGI’s for an exclusive night club, London. Followed by 3D visuals for a very interesting project, which is seeing the construction of properties being built into the side of an old quarry site!

A stunning 3D cut-through section visual which highlights the technical aspects of the St. Pancras Station has featured in a double spread of the Architects Journal Magazine. We have packed our cases and sunglasses as we’ve been producing 3D CGI’s for a variety of developments, based both at home and as far afield as Bucharest! So just how did the team manage to get a night of poker in the name or research? Well, it’s for the new project we have completed for a new poker club in central Manchester.

The images and animations we worked on for the St Pancras International Station have been used in the BBC six part documentary “The Ł800 Million Railway Station.” This shows just how useful 3D CGI’s have been for assisting in the design and marketing of this project. And now the team is back in the green-screen studio filming for our new animation for the New Brighton Redevelopment Project.

Images of impressive 5 star offices have been the order of the month at Neat 3D. We have produced a stunning fly-through of the new offices for Kuwait Oil Company Design Headquarters. Alongside this, the team have been working with distinguished property and housing developers to create 3D visualisations of luxury homes and chic apartments.

As Liverpool's 800th Birthday celebrations commence, Neat 3D studio are happy to be part of Liverpool's regeneration and modernization – and with our home city getting a bit of a facelift we thought it's about time our website did too! So this month we unveil our new look website with an updated portfolio of animations, photomontages and 3D visuals.

This month Neat 3D have produced a number of 3D CGI's to illustrate the new champagne bar at St Pancras International, which will appear in GQ magazine in the GQ Men of the Year Issue. Also this month some of our 3D artists flew to the Siggraph conference being held in San Diego. The conference showcased innovative new technologies and techniques in 3D modelling, animation and interactive media from some of the worlds leading companies and individuals.

Neat 3D is going global this month-with our workload taking an international perspective! Our commission by Bechtel to render amazing 3D visuals for a new motorway project in Azerbaijan is being modelled by the team in Neat 3D's Liverpool studio.

As the kids prepare to break up this month, Neat 3D goes back to school (kind of!) producing 3D visuals for new educational schemes, along with producing a virtual 3D city with our massive array of 3D residential housing scheme images, we are heading for a very chaotic month!

Neat 3D are coming over all CSI this month, as we are producing an accurate 3D reconstruction of a fatal accident within the construction industry, which will eventually be used in court to illustrate the outcome of the incident to the jury. This reconstruction shows yet another use for 3D modelling and 3D animation.

3D Residential Developments and 3D house type models have been the order for this month. Our clients have been busy submitting planning applications and selling off plan with our 3D visuals supporting them. The 3D models have ranged from specialised bespoke designed houses through to large greenfield 300+ dwelling developments.

Another exciting month at Neat 3D with the 3D facial mapping work we completed for the new BBC1 show Gene Detectives being aired this month, and with our new commission to produce 3D CGI's and Animations for EuroStar and the new St Pancras International Terminal we are busier than ever!

This month has been a busy one at Neat 3D, with architectural images and dominating all of our 3D artists screens. From 3D images, photomontages, animations, flythroughs, walkthroughs and verified 3D visuals, our clients are finding more ways that CGI's can help them sell off plan and market their projects.

We start the New Year by welcoming new 3D modellers and visualisers to our Liverpool 3D studio. Whilst the rest of the team got on with developing some fantastic 3D CGI images for a series of overseas developments and animations for construction projects a little closer to home, others jetted off to a 3D conference in Monaco, where Europe's leading 3D companies gathered to share knowledge and expertise in 3D modelling, 3D visualisation and 3D animation.
