ReAnimate is a small design digitisation studio based in Wellington, New Zealand.
Services are performed at different physical scales for the purposes of built object and environment recording, remanufacture and storytelling. Reverse engineering for automotive, marine and aerospace applications, reality capture and heritage information modelling (‘HBIM’) for real estate, sites and structures.
PURPOSE
ReAnimate is a for-profit sole trade business, however, aims to return a proportion of value back into the community through time, sponsorships and/or donation such as Wellington Heritage Festival. Through this, the aim is to encourage the circulation and knowledge of the value of historical stories and the collective heritage of our society, which is often thought of secondarily to economic progress and material consumption.
EXEMPLARY PROJECTS
SERVICES
HBIM & Reverse engineering
HBIM stands for Historical Building Information Modelling, which is the process of documenting existing sites with 3D model elements and data attributes. Reverse Engineering involves smaller, complex systems and can be documented for preservation or reproduction. Examples of HBIMs can be found here and here, while design digitization examples are here and reverse engineering here.
Interactive visualization
‘Interactive visualization’ refers to an interface for your data that represents multiple datasets (models, images, animations) accessed from a central location, potentially extending into game engines and virtual or augmented reality. See examples of interactive visualization here and here.
Reality capture & advisory
ReAnimate helps site custodians capture and use reality capture data. Site photogrammetry, using handheld and drone devices, produces lightweight files for storing and visualizing information for purposes like condition monitoring, storytelling, and education. Check out examples here and here, as well as a blog post explaining the photogrammetry process here.
