Watch Singapore rise from a fishing village to a modern metropolis, building by building. For Channel News Asia, Pixeldust told the story twice: once as an architect’s blueprint and once in photoreal 3D over real footage.
In this series for Channel News Asia, Pixeldust provided viewers with a fast-forwarded 3D animation of the architectural transformation of Singapore over the past several decades. From a modest fishing village to a sprawling, modern metropolis – watch buildings come to life piece-by-piece. This VFX approach combined real footage from Singapore with 3D animation to build the modern city above its humble village roots.
Two ways to watch a city grow
One version tells the story as an architectural blueprint: clean line drawings that sketch Singapore’s growth block by block, from a modest fishing village to a sprawling modern metropolis.
The realistic version combines real footage of Singapore with photoreal 3D animation, so viewers watch the modern city rise piece by piece above its humble village roots.
