ETR1000 Virtual Mockup
The famous italian design brand Bertone Stile was looking for a real-time interactive visualization of the interiors they were doing fot the ETR1000, a next-generation high-speed train launched by Trenitalia. The available softwares on the market were not enough powerful nor effective in order to show an entire train segment in different design solutions. So they aked us to provide a custom solution.
For this complex project we used our MESH platform: we developed custom hi-res shaders and production pipeline in order to convey the feeling of a real mockup. We scanned the real leather and plastics and found a way to translate them in digital materials. The required details were extreme: for example, check the seams along the leather of the seats.
In several months of production, while the design team at Bertone Stile was still developing the final interiors, we made 5 train segments in 2 material solutions each. The final scenes counted 16 millions of polygons but were still interactive, featuring animated seats, tables and doors. The virtual mockup was judged by Trenitalia very convincing and as effective as a real one.
