Bike route video animation was a prototype project thought up and executed by group of three students. Under the mentorship by Arctur d.o.o. and governmental project, they conceived a plan to make tourist destinations more attractive and better presented to tourists with a goal of making it affordable by the use of supercomputer. The answer was a stylized 3D animation with additional data presented in 2D format. The 3D animation would give tourist better understanding of the route and the additional data would benefit professional bikers. Given the popularity of animation and the render cost of low poly design, the video is the mix of both worlds to appeal to younger audiences as well as families of tourists and stay affordable. Data presented in the video varies from route difficulty and dangerous route segments to photo opportunities and landmarks. Both are expressed in either 2D graphics or enlarged 3D objects. Route was converted from GPS data to 3D object via script. Low poly design and automatic GPS to 3D conversion allow for mass production of animations in short time. Final goal was to present the use of a supercomputer in making of such material. Actions taken by the students (low poly design) and the power of the supercomputer shows, how we can shorten the delivery time and lower the cost of mass production of advanced promotional material. Supercomputer time was generously donated by Arctur d.o.o. (https://www.arctur.si/solutions_and_services/hpc/) Created by Arctur d.o.o.
