About The Mysterious Pearl 3D Theme Park Ride

Ang Mysterious Pearl ay isang 3D theme park ride na nilikha para sa isang ocean park sa Shanghai, China. Pinagsasama ng ride na ito ang isang walong-minutong stereoscopic animated film sa isang gumagalaw na sasakyan. Sinusundan ng kuwento ang isang sirena at isang pamilya ng mga nilalang sa dagat sa kanilang paghahanap upang iligtas ang mundo. Bawat sasakyan sa ride ay may kasamang pitong espesyal na epekto, tulad ng mga biglaang pagbagsak nang patayo at mga galaw nang pahalang, na inuulit ayon sa oras ng animation. Ang mga karakter at animation ay ginawa gamit ang Maya, ang mga epekto ay ginawa sa Houdini, at ang compositing ay isinagawa gamit ang After Effects at Flame.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: Mermaid is a 3D immersive experience located at Haichang Ocean Park theme park in Shanghai, China. Untitled Studios was approached by Haichang to design and create a fully immersive 3D experience based on the story of a mermaid and her quest to save the world.
During the creative process, we refined the characters of Mermaid and the ride's sea creature family, as well as creating the environmental background of the 8-minute animated universe.
Guests are transported into a state of the art 4D film that, along with surprising sensory elements, propels them into the ultimate 'Mermaid ride' experience.
The experience becomes even more immersive with the creation of a uniquely designed ride, each equipped with seven different special effects that repeat numerous times in tandem with the 3D animation, including vertical drops and horizontal motions!
Dimensions & Packaging: Stereoscopic 3d, 48fps, 12 scenes dimensions HD to 8k resolution. Digital Dolby.
Tags: theme park, dark ride, animation, immersive, 4d ride
Production Technology: All character design and animation are created in Maya, and all effects are created using Houdini.
Compositing are created in After effects and Flame.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge about this job is scale and timeframe.
The entire animation had to be created within six months of production.
Not only that, everything had to be done in stereoscope 3d at 48 per frame with a resolution at 8k. Managing data is one of the biggest issue we never even thought of. What we learned from it. Always optimise working files, very bytes counts in the end.
Research: There’s only a handful of theme park in the world. The biggest and the best is Disney. Competing with such a big brand is challenging. Our method is start from the basic, storytelling and character design. We knew getting this 2 formula right is important. Technology is the second part that we need to overcome. Finding the right company as partners is just as important. We believe in collaboration.
Inspiration: The inspiration comes from watching Pixar and Disney. When I was young I was fascinated with storytelling and animation. I love 3d character that can take you on a journey and explore the magical world. Mixing with roller coaster and storyline would give you the audience a whole new immersive experience.
Project Duration: Jan 2019 - Present in Shanghai China
Operation Flow: Theme park ride experience. Taking moving image to the 4th dimension.
