Contribution & Reflection

Our Situation Engine, is a very effective communication tool that can effectively show the construction process of two different construction methods. Utilizing a variety of different software we were able to import the default Revit model and load it into CryEngine and automate the construction process.

Contribution:

Throughout the the semester, my primary focus was on the modelling of the structures. After a few weeks of work on the modelling, it became apparent that this would be a big task to ensure the accuracy of the construction processes.

The plan was to model the timber model first so that Dan and Tim could begin exporting the components into CryEngine. While this was happening I would model the concrete model, which would then be ready for export by the time Tim had finished putting the models into CryEngine.

With the help of Dan I was able to ensure both models were completed to an accurate representation of the construction process (Dan took care of modelling the site). Together we then cleaned up the models in sketch up and prepared them for export by grouping the various components in the model into stages of the construction stages.

Our final job was to create scenes within Sketchup so that Tim would easily be able to follow the construction process and effectively make his job as easy as possible.

Reflection:

Overall I found this assignment very informative and it helped developed my modelling skills further. I feel that as a team we all worked well together in delegating the various tasks. This was shown by the quality of our final project.

As well as learning more about the construction process and computer modelling, I also learnt a lot more about working in a team and communication.
