How Cityscape Digital created the images for Blue Abyss, the world’s deepest indoor pool

Cityscape Digital were recently appointed by Blue Abyss, the company behind the ambitious project to build the world’s deepest indoor dive and astronaut training centre, as their VR Partner.  Cityscape Digital are producing a VR model and support imagery for design, communications and marketing needs.

As part of this work Cityscape selected Corona Renderer for production of the still press images. Using the latest VR and game engine based visualisation technology, Cityscape Digital is enabling a rapid iterative design process, where the client Blue Abyss, the designers and stakeholders can collaborate in an innovative way. As the design evolves, key target investors, users and general public will be able to explore the ground-breaking new Dive Centre long before it’s built.

Cityscape Digital worked with Blue Abyss to produce a VR model for live presentations and roadshows giving a compelling first person experience. For the recent press releases, Blue Abyss wanted a video and a hero image to really capture the public’s imagination. The video was produced using a live export from Unreal 4 and Cityscape selected Corona Renderer for the production of the hero image for the main press release.

A Dark Jedi and a Renegade Princess by Jeronimo Gomez

Take a trip to the dark side! Even when 3D is just one step along the way, Corona is a powerful addition to your toolset. Jeronimo Gomez tells us how he used Corona’s rendering passes to create the template for his image, and then used photobashing and over-painting to give the final result.

Corona Renderer 1.4 Demo refresh

Corona 1.4 Demo Refresh

Corona 1.4 features some huge changes that transform both render times and workflow, making it almost like a different product.

For that reason, we have refreshed the clock on the demo – if you tried an earlier version and your demo expired, you can now try the demo of 1.4 and see just how far Corona has come!

Please note that this ‘refresher’ trial period will be 15 days for those of you who had an expired demo (new demo users still get the full 45 days). Also, this re-activation can only be done once per computer, so make sure you do that when you have plenty of time as you will be hooked once you start using Corona 1.4!

You can see all the changes in this release over on our announcement page – and now you can try those features for yourself even if you’d tested Corona before. Simply install Corona, and you can activate the refreshed demo period right from within Max. Enjoy!
