Guidelines for making 3D LED display screens
The stunning dynamic visuals of street-level 3D LED displays are sure to leave you amazed. Have you ever wondered how to get your own 3D LED display? In this article, we’ll take you through the process of creating a 3D LED display in detail.
How to create a 3D LED Display?
Selecting the Right 3D LED Display Specifications
Size
Selecting the appropriate size can enhance the viewing experience for audiences. A 3D LED display screen that is too small may fail to attract pedestrians’ attention, while one that is too large may cause dizziness.
Only by selecting the correct and appropriate 3D LED display screen size can you achieve both visual impact for audiences and avoid poor viewing quality due to an overly large screen. Additionally, avoiding unnecessary size waste can help reduce the purchase cost of the 3D LED display screen.
Resolution
To achieve a more realistic visual effect, the content quality of 3D LED displays is typically very high. Therefore, 3D LED displays also require a high-resolution specification to display image details. If the resolution is too low, it will reduce the viewing quality and realism of the image.
Refresh Rate
A high refresh rate is essential for smooth and natural visuals on a 3D LED display. While a standard LED display can achieve 960Hz, a 3D LED display requires a refresh rate of 3840Hz or higher to support social media promotion, which involves filming and uploading videos for marketing purposes.
Selecting the appropriate location for a 3D LED display
Foot traffic
The foot traffic in the area where the 3D LED display screen is installed determines the upper limit of content exposure.
Even if a 3D LED display screen with excellent screen quality and content quality is installed, assuming it has an 85% appeal to pedestrians, a location with over 10,000 daily passersby would result in 8,500 daily exposure instances, while an area with over 1,000 daily passersby would only yield 850 daily exposure instances.
Therefore, the difference in exposure volume caused by foot traffic can be significant. When selecting the location for installing a 3D LED display screen, it is advisable to consider urban transportation hubs, city centers, and popular tourist attractions.
Visibility
The location for installing a 3D LED display screen should have no obstructions, as obstructions can impair the display screen’s visual presentation. It is best to install the screen in a flat, open area in front of a building.
Background
The cultural context of the location chosen for installing 3D LED displays should ideally have some relevance to the content being displayed.
For 3D LED billboards, it is best to choose commercial areas, as the majority of the foot traffic there consists of potential customers with purchasing needs.
For 3D LED displays intended as urban landmarks, it is best to choose locations that are representative of the city or have a certain historical and cultural background. For example, the China 3D LED billboard on Taikoo Li Street in Chengdu features video content themed around Chengdu’s national treasure, the giant panda; the Japanese 3D LED billboard on Shinjuku Street features video content themed around various types of cats. The content displayed on these two giant 3D LED screens effectively reflects the local lifestyle, culture, and humanistic context, making them popular tourist attractions.
Creating 3D LED Screen Content
Content Design
Before producing 3D LED display screen video content, we need to communicate with the video client about the design content, including the plot design of the 3D video, the key points for showcasing 3D effects, and creative requirements.
Once the relevant information is collected, we can write the video script according to the client’s needs and confirm the overall style of the video.
3D Modeling
Use 3D modeling software to create models of the characters, objects, and scenes featured in the script. This is a highly specialized process, and the better the technical skills and aesthetic sensibilities of the 3D modeling team, the better the final playback quality will be.
Animation
Place the architectural model objects or characters into the scene and create their movement trajectories according to the script design. This step requires attention to natural and fluid facial expressions and body movements for characters. If the scene only features objects, ensure their movement trajectories are reasonable, fluid, and visually impactful.
Textures and Lighting
After 3D modeling and animation are completed, the video’s rough draft is ready. At this stage, we have an animation video with a black-and-white interface and no texture or material quality.
We need to apply textures to the objects in the video, color them, and prepare for subsequent video rendering. Then, we add lighting to the scene to create highlights and shadows, producing a distinction between light and dark areas, and simulating real-world lighting effects in the animation.
Rendering
Rendering enables 3D models with textures and colors to achieve a level of realism comparable to real-world objects. This step is critical, as its quality determines whether the subsequent 3D video playback is realistic and engaging.
Post-Production
Creating a perfect video involves not only visual production, but also sound configuration. Only when audio and visual elements are seamlessly integrated can the video playback truly captivate the audience.
Testing and Iteration
Before formal playback, the 3D video must be tested on a 3D LED display to record the playback effect. If the expected playback effect is not achieved, the video content must be modified, and testing repeated until the 3D video fully meets the client’s expectations.
Formal Playback
Once all content is ready, the 3D video can be officially displayed on the screen for playback. The content displayed on a 3D LED screen is highly eye-catching, helping to enhance brand awareness, increase information dissemination, and ultimately generate revenue.
