Transportation corridors allow for multiple modes of movement. And as we’ve blogged about before, visualization strategies can play a vital role in enhancing both stakeholder and public understanding, which is an important piece of a successful project.Īdding vegetation is only the first part in bringing a model to life. The combination of existing and proposed vegetation helps to give both stakeholders and the public a depiction of what the finished project will look like. This could include new trees in a grass median, or landscaping at an intersection. We also add any vegetation that will be added as part of the proposed project. For some projects, this includes matching flowerbeds and other landscaping found in front of homes and businesses.
That’s why we add trees and vegetation to replicate the existing conditions around the project. A bare existing ground with a roadway or bridge on it isn’t very exciting to look at. What do I mean by bring the model to life, you might ask? Great question!! When the model is first brought into LumenRT, it can be a little bland. Once the models are in LumenRT, we can bring the model to life! Using our Bentley family of products, we can easily transform our design from software like ConceptStation, OpenRoads Designer, or OpenBridge Modeler into a virtual environment that mimics the graphics in modern video games using LumenRT. But why should the wonders of a great animation be limited to a movie theatre? Why not bring those same great animations into our adult life? At Mead & Hunt, we have done just that.Īs we transition into working in a three-dimensional design world, we see this as an opportunity to leverage the models we are already creating as part of our design process to build a virtual environment of the proposed work. Who doesn’t get excited seeing Tinkerbell flying over Cinderella’s castle before the start of a Disney animated movie? Who doesn’t love the anticipation of watching the Pixar lamp bounce across the screen? I know for me, both awaken my inner child and spark joy from memories of growing up watching these movies.
