Weeters 1981 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Renderon has posted a bunch of images to it's website that appear to be part of a graphics package designed for the upcoming launch of The AccuWeather Channel, though the site says it's "design direction". Act fast, I'm guessing this was posted in error. http://www.renderon.com/#/accuweather/ The 3D stuff all looks familiar, including shapes similar to what we've seen in Renderon's past packages for NECN and Scripps. Everything else, in my opinion, looks great. It should be interesting to see this in action.
Guest NewsHound Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I saw those the other day! This is the way TWC's graphics SHOULD HAVE been. Very clean, very glassy, very Renderon. One of their best in my honest opinion.

TennTV1983 811 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 The music sounds like an updated version of Extreme from the same company. The graphics are actually pretty nice. Informative and straight to the point.
NEOMatrix 1308 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I must say, these AccuWeather graphics outclass TWC's by a long shot. They do look clean with a little bit of flash and the best part is that it dosen't look bland and PowerPoint-like like TWC.
mightynine 290 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 So, which is it? Because what's in that YT video and what's on Renderon's site are two completely different things.
ns8401 968 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Great, more ribbons, it looks like what Scripps uses. It's not bad looking but angles and 3D indentured elements make me uneasy, graphics were meant to be straight and flat.
Samantha 2907 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 It certainly looks exciting. From some of the wording the pitch in the video is directed at MVPDs; that version looks more polished and consistent than the exploratory stuff in the stills. The question is soon to be popped: Can WeatherNation hang on now that AccuWeather is headed for TV? It still doesn't have certain contracts (Cox), and its resources are fairly limited. It also looks as if AccuWeather is going to have a local component of some sort (who knows, that might be a patent suit from The Weather Channel which holds a bunch of patents on things like that).
News 2 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 I've been all over this. Here are some graphcis reels: And the music:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zH9pEObo-CU&feature=youtu.be It DOES sound like the old Twc package in a way..hmm.
