NASA: High-Fidelity Technical Modeling & Animation
NASA technical modeling and animation that represent launch vehicles and their systems. These assets bridge the gap between complex CAD engineering data and museum-quality models for public exhibitions.
The collaboration resulted in a fleet of models that serve as the visual benchmark for the Constellation program. 3D scale models allow viewers to see inside the mission, including hardware and equipment usually hidden by fairings. By producing the Ares I and V in identical scales (1:100, 1:144, 1:350), we provided a direct visual reference for the massive scale difference between crew and cargo launch capabilities.
Rapid prototyping: Utilization of 3D printing to achieve complex geometries that traditional machining cannot replicate, specifically for intricate internal parts and equipment.
High-fidelity finishing: Each model features authentic NASA livery, high-visibility markings, and professional-grade coatings.
Modular engineering: The 1:100 scale modular variants were engineered with precision-fit joints to allow for repeated assembly / disassembly, highlighting the internal stage-to-stage connections.
Data-driven animation: Digital assets were developed to provide a transition from physical models to digital media, ensuring consistency across all NASA platforms.
From modular trade show pieces to 4K digital renderings, these assets provided a visual identity for NASA’s flight hardware.
