Research Assignment 3
9 Real Time Images
Experiment One (ramp and stadium) made in Sketchup and brought into Crysis.
Experiment Two (Town Hall) made in Solidworks and textured in 3DS Max before being imported into Crysis.
Town Hall Teaser
Video made to show quick run through of model, find any errors in modelling to be fixed before filming installation.
Other relevant information used for townhall
Took 100 images myself of Townhall which I then pooled with other students in the class to have a collection of 463 images in total. These include images of major signs and features from several angles. Hopefully my model has incorporated enough of these elements to give it the distinctive feel of Town Hall.
Train modelled from this site.
I personally think this is achieved through elements such as the train, the blue seats and all textures which were created from the images. The finer details such as the layout and advertisements boards really complete the model in my personal opinion.

Stuart Bill
In Week 6's lecture Stuart Bull discussed how his firm ARUP Engineering utilizes BIM software such as ArchiCad and others. He focused on the advantages impacted on constructions and building documentation.
By creating everything digitally, and using the software to its full potential you are able to embed information into the walls and other materials. This then allows you to output information useful to the interior designers and others such as the amount of carpet required to cover the floors and how much paint required etc. This is an efficient process that in time saves money and effort.
BIM can be also for finding faults in the original plans of a model. Similar to how Rusell was telling me that in the hospital he helped model up in crysis they realized faults in how the machines in there original position wouldn't fully function.
We also learnt how several programs are used as no program is complete to do all tasks well in the architectural world. This included the pros and cons of several well known programs such as 3DS, and Solidworks etc.
