An accurate reconstruction of Bologna history by CINECA. (This video is just the first few minutes of the full movie).

CINECA writes:

Apa the Etruscan and 2700 years of Bologna History, a joint production Cineca and Genus Bononiae, is the first 3D stereoscopic Blender-made movie with high historical standards applied to an entire city with four different geo-referenced scenarios and seven historical periods: Etruscan, Roman, Medieval, Renaissance, XVII and XVIII century and the present day.
The methodology developed for this inter-disciplinary realization used only open source tools, except for City Engine adopted in the procedural modelling. The movie is currently shown at the Museo della Storia di Bologna.

The production repository consists in more then 10.000 files for 15GB (circa 380 Blender files), 18 scenes, 100 shots for a two year work involving 40 people

Total running time: 15’59’’
