Bringing Futuristic Aerial Delivery to Life with 3D Visualization

Client’s Overview

The aviation and mobility sectors leverage innovative solutions as time and daily innovation continue. Using forward thinking, our client was able to envision a prototype of aerial delivery vehicles that would help to speed up logistics. Pushing into a new exciting digital experience with Autodesk’s innovative creative tools.

According to the Space Foundation, the global space economy will be worth US $570 billion in 2023, up 7.4% yearly (in line with a five-year compound annual growth rate of 7.3%), driven mainly by the commercial sector. Specifically, the positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) subsector accounted for approximately 47% (US $209 billion) of the commercial total of US $445 billion. This market is predicted to increase by 155% by 2035 and may be the primary emphasis in the coming year.

The Project

The project focused primarily on the production of a 5–6 second 3D animation and a series of high detail conceptual flying vehicles capable of lifting heavy household appliances or construction equipment from the ground to the rooftops of skyscrapers.

The UAVs will act as a marketing tool and a vision for future use cases in construction, logistics, and maintenance.

The Approach

The pros at Chetu decided to bring this idea to life with a collection of creative tools offered by Autodesk. Their cinematic team used Autodesk Maya for graphics focused on realistic UAV imagery.

Unreal Engine, Adobe after Effects, and Adobe Premiere Pro were all indispensable for post-production and final video output.

The Impact

With quick stakeholder engagement and investor interest, creating functional, realistic animation visual concepts useful for those needing a marketable product took time. With a cinematic-style asset delivery, Chetu offered their client a credible representation of aerial delivery for urban environments.

At Chetu, we leveraged Autodesk-powered workflows and advanced 3D modeling capabilities to help streamline the approach, reduce development cycles, and enhance concept validation. Thus, we helped the client align more effectively with fast-changing trends in urban mobility.
