TenCate - 3D Animation about cleaning aqua textile

Client TenCate Services
Understanding benefits and application through visualization

TenCate AquaVia creates solutions to protect natural resources and thus build a more sustainable world for future generations. One example of this eco-responsible commitment is TenCate GeoClean®, the result of 10 years of R&D. TenCate GeoClean® is an autonomous, maintenance-free and environmentally-friendly solution for the management of runoff water. It is an aquatextile layer that cleans runoff water as soon as the water infiltrates into the soil, so that harmful substances such as oil and grease leaks do not end up in the soil. Biodegradation takes place in the aquatextile layer through the binding of hydrocarbons. However, how can this complex process and its application be explained in such a way as to make the benefits visible? C4Real came up with the solution: 3D animations.

How do you make a complex operation visible?

The solutions: 3D Animations

To explain the principle of how GeoClean® works and what the benefits are, C4Real has developed a 3D animation. The 3D animation helps us to understand the value of this solution for our living environment, enabling us, for example, to enjoy beautiful pure, natural water at our leisure. In the 3D animation we follow the journey of a droplet into our current world, where we travel by train or car and leave behind traces of oil and fat. In order to explain how the GeoClean® principle works, a 2D animation has been inserted, in which the breakdown of oil and fat by bacteria is shown in a realistic way. In this way it is possible to visualize a complex process that cannot be seen with the naked eye. There is no voice-over; this is one of those times when a picture says more than a thousand words. The graphics have been developed in 4 languages (NL, EN, FR, GE).

Significant impact created by conceptual thinking

The process

C4Real's working method has a concept phase and a production phase, preceded by an analysis. After all, to create the right animations it is important to understand exactly how the product works. A special feature of this 3D animation is its very extensive concept phase. The pure effect of the product in the strictest sense of the word is embedded in a 3D world, a model in the form of an island as much as 10-15 km wide (!), showing the possible fields of application of GeoClean®. By following the droplet's journey in this world, the whole story becomes clear. After all, the greater goal is to contribute to a more sustainable world with GeoClean®. It must be said that a lot of conceptual thinking was needed to achieve this impact. In terms of time, in this instance it accounted for half the assignment (normally the concept phase takes about 25% of the time).

The added value of 3D animation

The end result

The added value of this 3D animation from TenCate GeoClean® is that the higher goals of TenCate AquaVia are clearly visualized. TenCate GeoClean® contributes to a sustainable living environment where people can enjoy clean nature together. How the principle of the aquatextile layer works is explained in powerful visual language in the 2D animation.

This 2D animation was also delivered separately (short film lasting 1 minute and 32 seconds), so that it can also be used in presentations and on the website. The long version lasts 2 minutes and 21 seconds. The film will also be shown at trade fairs and on social media. What is clear is that the principle and advantages of GeoClean® are visualized in a unique, impressive and distinctive way. This makes sales talks a whole lot easier!
