13. Fast Geometry
Fast 3D
UC is fastest at creating geometry because:
Auto-Conversion of 3D geometry with textures-materials to real-time (12DA FBX).
UC modellers hired via an 8-hour speed test
All geometry standard formats, geo-referenced, quality models.
Geometry is accurate per vertex
Imported from survey/design 3D
Built from design drawings
Integrated QA service (clash highlights)
Measurable in real-time
Accurate real-time shadows
Wireframes of Adelaide and M5 East
14. 2D to 3D - Fast
Fast 3D
If you provide 2D plans and drawings:
UC converts 2D into 3D fast.
Modellers employed on an 8-hr speed test.
A QA clash/conflict service with model construction to find errors.
3D meshes standard formats and interchangeable to other programs.
If the model is wrong and our fault, no cost to fix.
Over 10,000 hours experience.
Your project in 3D real-time is delivered fast, to high quality.
Station built from a 2D pdf in < 40 hours
15. Method: Built in 2 days from limited data. Output: 10 HD images, video. Delivered remotely.
Uses: Evidencing concept. Funding submissions. Media communications. Stakeholder engagement.

16. Auto-Geometry
Fast 3D
12D program
Converters move 3D data from technical modelling programs to real-time software in < 1 minute.
Examples:
12DA converter: takes civil design geometry (TINs) and pushes them straight to real-time 3D. Textures, materials, shadows and effects are applied automatically.
SketchUp FBX converter: brings the sketchup models into real-time 3D, with textures mapped.
3DS Max: exports or publishes to real-time 3D.
Efficient to communicate and review the project in real-time 3D.

17. Publish, not Render
Fast 3D
UC publishes scenes to real-time. This takes only seconds to achieve living 3D models.
Projects are updated dozens of times per day.
This gives: :
Flexibility and efficiency
Constant visibility
Opportunities to include late changes
A disciplined data structure means we can overwrite any scene component quickly.
Traditional, pre-rendered visualisation requires minutes and hours to render every frame.
You get fast and continuous updates of your 3D real-time project. No need to wait.
A live visual model is updated thousands of times as thinking changes, with updates taking minutes.
18. Auto-Animation
Fast 3D
Navigation mesh for self-pathing characters throughout station
UC has a bespoke Artificial Intelligence system to approximate traffic and human movement.
UC software auto-animates
Road Traffic: merging, queuing, give way, blinkers, drivers etc
Pedestrians: walk, idle, talk, ride escalators.
Rail: boarding, drivers, passengers, speeds etc
Traffic and movement simulation data (VISSIM, Paramicsetc) can be imported.
Traditional visualisation hand-animates objects.
UC provides more realism, movement, scale and interactivity faster.
AI directs lane-change with brakes & indicators
19. Instant Images + Mark-Up
Fast 3D
Capture any image instantly second.
Press camera icon or PrtScn
Screen resolution image (png) saved to My Documents.
Orthographics and perspectives.
Change field of view.
Change options or scenarios.
Mark-up tool:
Draw over the 3D scene with pen.
Type over 3D scene.
PrtScn to save image to My Docs.
Then print / email to colleagues.
20. Real-Time Video
Fast 3D
Purpose-built pathing tool.
Set up paths at camera points.
Capture video directly from real-time.
Smart algorithms create smooth camera path.
With UC: 1 minute of video can take 1 minute to create.
Others (equivalent): 1 min of video takes 1+ hours to render, plus compositing.
UC do no time-wasting green screening. UC characters animations are AI virtual agents.

UC videos are fast,

Capturing video using in-situ video path tools.

21. Real-Time Tools
Fast 3D
Tools for adding, validating, and demonstrating directly in real-time 3D.
Examples:
2D/3D tape measure, relative level
sightline measure
add characters (static, walking, sitting)
add objects (any 3D object in library)
transform (rotate, scale, move)
Tools built in-house to make project analysis efficient.
Transform & save library objects
Linear measure. RL markers.
Add / edit animated characters
22. Big Scenes
Fast 3D
The largest and most complex visualisations in real-time 3D, video and imagery.
Our capability in scene scale and complexity means you work faster in bigger projects.
Enjoy more: geometry; detail; integrated optioneering; shadows; animations; textures, shaders and effects.
We specialise in the human to urban scale.
Examples: Sydney CBD including sub-surface rail stations; Melbourne City, CBD and surrounds, Gold Coast Rapid Transit, AirPort Link and Northern Busway, Brisbane CBD & surrounds.
Airport Link & North Busway winning bid.

23. Smart Shaders
Fast 3D
Shaders on our HD drivable vehicle
Shadercode is processed directly on the GPU, giving efficient processing.We build custom shaders as required to optimise workflow.
Example: Auto-Generated Painted Aerial Terrain Texture (using repetition reduction optimisation) with distance based blending.
Benefits:
Workflow (speed): no manual creation of quality terrain texture use shader values
Performance: reduces RAM footprint and load times with fewer texture inputs
Visual Quality: improved visual clarity and effects from helicopter to ped views
