How Narrativ Brought Gunwharf Quays to Life Using Corona and anima ALL

In a recent post on the Chaos blog, the talented team at Narrativ shares their experience creating a stunning visualization of Gunwharf Quays, a vibrant waterfront destination in Portsmouth, UK. The project required blending historical architecture with modern design, and Narrativ's team leveraged the power of Corona and anima ALL to produce visuals that capture the essence of the space while meeting the high standards of their client.
Here are some of the highlights:
  1. Challenges of a Complex Site
    Gunwharf Quays presented unique architectural and logistical challenges, including balancing new developments with heritage buildings. Narrativ’s approach combined creativity and precision to showcase the harmonious integration of old and new.
  2. Corona’s Role in Photorealism
    The team at Narrativ relied on Corona’s rendering capabilities to deliver lifelike visualizations. From realistic lighting to detailed materials, Corona enabled them to create photorealistic visuals crucial for client presentations.
  3. Seamless Crowd Animation with anima ALL
    A standout feature of the project was the inclusion of dynamic crowds, made possible through anima ALL. This tool allowed Narrativ to populate the bustling waterfront with realistic human movement, adding another layer of life and vibrancy to the final visualizations.
  4. Speed and Efficiency with Corona
    Tight deadlines were met without compromising quality, thanks to Corona's speed and efficiency. This allowed the team to quickly iterate while maintaining the high level of detail required.
  5. Balancing Aesthetics and Functionality
    The visualization needed to reflect both aesthetic beauty and functional design. Narrativ worked closely with architects and planners to ensure the project captured both the charm and practicality of Gunwharf Quays.
