This short video is intentionally

an artistic render

showing an unfolded,

animated 360° panorama

looking south at The Manor House

as we start to walk along

the 1948 high street.

Ai technology has been used

to colorize the textured 3D model,

add the storm effects and

animate the walk.

It should be viewed as a piece of digital art,

extending the boundary

of the original concept.

Creative Workflow

The original 3D model was meticulously created

and textured in Solihull, using Blender,

3D open-source software

developed in the Netherlands.

An equirectangular camera was used

in the 3D scene to capture and render

a 360°black and white panoramic image.

Reference images and maps were supplied by

Solihull Heritage Dept.

The base image was then enhanced, colorized

and stylised using Ai - Nano Banana Pro.

Developed by Google DeepMind in the US.

Animated using Ai

Seedance 2.0 / Multi-modal control.

Developed by ByteDance in China.

Upscaled to 4K using Topaz Labs in the US.

DaVinci Resolve, developed by BlackMagic Design

in Australia was used

to create the final video outputs.

We offer a completely optional

corporate and personal membership.

These donations help us

to follow our

STEAM philosophy.

Science, Technology, Engineering,

Art and Manufacture,

working together in perfect harmony

for the benefit of ALL involved.
