The team

Fabien Bougas

CEO FOUNDER

 

Ex-high level gymnast and coach, I firstly qualified in sports science which lead to me working in the field of biomechanics in analysing movement. I then found a passion for graphics and 3D animation and qualified in this field, it was combining these two passions that lead to the creation of our project 3D Gym.

Passionate about gymnastics and through these new numerical supports I want to make our discipline more attractive and accessible. I think that this new 3D technology is a way to increase the popularity of our sport, increase media coverage and put our sport at the place it deserves.

The history

FB-Curves 3D Gym is a long history of dedecation, creation and production.

It is a project that has evolved over a number of years and will continue to evolve in the years to come with many elements to the project in production.

 

2011 – After working in the video game and advertising industry, Fabien BOUGAS decides to combine his 2 passions, gymnastics and 3D to create his first 3D prototype Gym. The birth of the project.

2012 – Ideas were developed and the basic outline of the project was put in place. A lot of work was needed to be done…

2013 – The project slowly advanced with ideas constantly evolving…

2014 –  Fabien create his second prototype which integrates a 3D engine which allows the user to turn everything around the 3D character. 50 figures are created and tested in this new 3D visualization system. Production is underway.

2015 – More than 400 gymnic figures have been realized in 3D and research on the development of the application and the website is starting.

2016 – An innovative but expensive idea to put in place. Having achieved 75% of the production of the 3D Gym Men application, Fabien no longer has a budget or time to invest in the project and the search for investors is going to be difficult. He decides to launch his crowdfunding campaign on indiegogo:

The campaign fails but Fabien gets back in touch with his friend Kris Horrigan who wants to be part of the adventure.

2017 – Success! The project attracted several private investors who liked the idea. Production gets back on track with a full team of Web Designers, App developers, Artistic Creators, Graphic Designers and Financial Advisors.

Much time was spent in house developing a plan of attack for the next sport to run our technology into, the decision was made and the production of 3D Trampoline began. This led to the creation of a new partner within the trampoline industry, we welcomed this partnership from Eurotramp. The gymnastics applications continued to evelove with the inclusion of the D score calculator and in improved full interactive quiz within the gymnastics apps.
