GER Building Viewer
Navigation tool built with Sketchfab

The Project

One of my initial assignments at CREATE 3D was to setup a online system which would help people navigate the office building. This program should be able to highlight floor spaces of a given company, and show someone how to navigate to that said company's office. The application should also be able to communicate to a desktop application, so that the desktop application could allocate rooms being used by companies and the website should update accordingly.

Goals achieved

  • Loading the modelled GER building into Sketchfab

  • Using the Sketchfab API to set material properties of the building, so that individual floors could be highlighted

  • Using Blender to organise rooms and floors into hierarchies, and setting up naming of floors so their ID's could be accessed within Sketchfab

  • Mapping out which rooms could be accessed by each other, so a map could be created connecting the offices together programmatically

  • Creating moving camera controls to highlight a route from a given entrance to an office space in the building
