They had the ability to easily manipulate the virtual camera to travel around the structure and provide viewers with many different angles and perspectives. A &#8220;virtual camera&#8221; is the point of focus or point of view of the animation as determined by the animator working &#8220;inside&#8221; the software. Trinity artists also included accurate imagery of the equipment involved in the construction process such as the vehicles, a crane, picker, and more. Details in the environment such as the realistically rendered sky and foliage generate stunningly pleasing visuals as well. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3D renderings have the potential to provide viewers with a unique experience. In this engineering animation, Trinity&#8217;s artists manipulated certain materials, in\u00a0order to clarify information. For instance, they altered the color of certain items to make them stand out or draw attention to them. They also applied transparency to certain items so that viewers were able to observe the interior of the object and easily understand the process in a way that cannot be accomplished through live footage.<\/span><\/p>\n<div aria-live=\"polite\" id=\"soliloquy-container-2511_1\" class=\"soliloquy-container soliloquy-transition-fade  soliloquy-theme-base\" style=\"max-width:960px;max-height:300px;\"><ul id=\"soliloquy-2511_1\" class=\"soliloquy-slider soliloquy-slides soliloquy-wrap soliloquy-clear\"><li aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"soliloquy-item soliloquy-item-1 soliloquy-image-slide\" draggable=\"false\" style=\"list-style:none\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"soliloquy-image-2526\" class=\"soliloquy-image soliloquy-image-1\" src=\"https:\/\/trinityanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/EDIT_6-4-960x300_c.bmp\" alt=\"EDIT_6\" \/><\/li><li aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"soliloquy-item soliloquy-item-2 soliloquy-image-slide\" draggable=\"false\" style=\"list-style:none\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"soliloquy-image-2514\" class=\"soliloquy-image soliloquy-image-2\" src=\"https:\/\/trinityanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/EDIT_13-960x300_c.bmp\" alt=\"EDIT_13\" \/><\/li><li aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"soliloquy-item soliloquy-item-3 soliloquy-image-slide\" draggable=\"false\" style=\"list-style:none\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"soliloquy-image-2520\" class=\"soliloquy-image soliloquy-image-3\" src=\"https:\/\/trinityanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/EDIT_5-7-960x300_c.bmp\" alt=\"EDIT_5\" \/><\/li><li aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"soliloquy-item soliloquy-item-4 soliloquy-image-slide\" draggable=\"false\" style=\"list-style:none\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"soliloquy-image-2521\" class=\"soliloquy-image soliloquy-image-4\" src=\"https:\/\/trinityanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/EDIT_4-8-960x300_c.bmp\" alt=\"EDIT_4\" \/><\/li><li aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"soliloquy-item soliloquy-item-5 soliloquy-image-slide\" draggable=\"false\" style=\"list-style:none\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"soliloquy-image-2527\" class=\"soliloquy-image soliloquy-image-5\" src=\"https:\/\/trinityanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/EDIT_16-1-960x300_c.bmp\" alt=\"EDIT_16\" \/><\/li><li aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"soliloquy-item soliloquy-item-6 soliloquy-image-slide\" draggable=\"false\" style=\"list-style:none\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"soliloquy-image-2528\" class=\"soliloquy-image soliloquy-image-6\" src=\"https:\/\/trinityanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/EDIT_7-3-960x300_c.bmp\" alt=\"EDIT_7\" \/><\/li><li aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"soliloquy-item soliloquy-item-7 soliloquy-image-slide\" draggable=\"false\" style=\"list-style:none\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"soliloquy-image-2529\" class=\"soliloquy-image soliloquy-image-7\" src=\"https:\/\/trinityanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/EDIT_9-2-960x300_c.bmp\" alt=\"EDIT_9\" \/><\/li><\/ul><\/div><noscript><style type=\"text\/css\">#soliloquy-container-2511_1{opacity:1}<\/style><\/noscript>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several steps are demonstrated in this animation for the construction process of the Sahara Sand Source system. The entire animation is narrated illustrating each stage while the visuals follow along with the narration. First, rig matting is laid down on a flat and compacted surface. The next item, known as the skid is displayed being transported on the site by a semi-truck which is unfolded on top of the rig matting. As the animation transitions from step to step, the materials smoothly fade into place, omitting the unnecessary visuals. Next, the bucket elevator tower is stood up using a crane and picker. The twelve freestanding silos are then put in place along with the units distribution system. Finally, the system is brought online with a power unit, an electric generator, or a local power source. Once complete, the system can be loaded with proppant (a solid material, typically sand, treated sand, or man-made ceramic materials). Since Sahara&#8217;s silos are separate, it allows up to 12 different proppant types to be stored on site. When loading the sand, Sahara has a drive over system which allows trucks to unload up to five times faster than traditional methods. In the animation, the truck is displayed driving up to the unit, opening up the bottom hatch and going through the process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The system lets the operator know the silos current capacity. During live operation, the pressure pumper instructs the Sahara field operator to start moving sand onto the transfer belt or directly into the blender. Since the transfer belt cannot be seen, Trinity artists apply transparency to all other items only displaying the sands path. A large volume of sand successfully flows through the unit and can be stopped at any moment. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2519\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2519\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2519\" src=\"https:\/\/trinityanimation.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/EDIT_8.bmp\" alt=\"This is a still image from Trinity's engineering animation demonstrating the Sahara Unit, a proppant storage and handling system.
