Nur - Empowering Creativity (Velum Version)

ended

This proposal is for the development of a new innovative production tool for the audiovisual industry. The tool is called Nur and is a beautiful 3D creation suite for animation, modelling, simulation and rendering in 3D for games, apps, TV & Movies, architecture, and design visualization. It targets creatives worldwide that need to create 3D content and might not even have used any tools to create 3D content before. It should be easy to use without sacrificing the quality of results and be available on smartphones and tablets that current products in the same space completely ignore. Furthermore, this proposal will benefit at least the 8 existing team members for this project and future team members that will join the project in the near future. The team is very diverse and consists of 5 nationalities from the European Union. More than half of the team are women. Many members are experienced people from the audiovisual industry that have previously worked mainly in the video games industry on titles such as “Ori and the Will of the Wisps” and “Sea of Solitude”. But designmatic GmbH also nurtures talents that are completely new to the audiovisual industry. With this grant the existing proof-of-concept product should be developed to an actual product that can be sold as a software-as-a-service product. The developed product will further increase the competitiveness of European companies operating in the audiovisual industry as well as improving the greening process of the European audiovisual industry. The key outputs for this proposal are: - Development of a sellable product with a subscription model to professionals operating in the audiovisual industry - Improving the development process for audiovisual companies and increase the greening process of them - Transparency in the developed techniques to bring this product to market through various channels like development blog, access to certain source code, and talks at relevant creative conferences
