Title: Blueprints
Post by: zefee on January 10, 2008, 09:19:50 PM

Hey, was just wondering if anyone had any bock blueprints handy, I want to 3D Model em, and blue prints are alot easier to use than photos =D

cheers

Some one started to do this on another forum, pm me for more details (I don't think I can post a link here, Naz will spank me).

I am a CAD Technician, I draw up building blueprints by trade, but without acurate measurements, its not going to be possible. Not only that but it will take ages :p

CAD crap ftl =[ I find CAD (meanin that kinda job) boring =[ 3D Modelling ftw?? I can do it from the photos, just blueprints are so much easier to model around XD

I use Lightwave for 3D rendering.  I think your only option is going to be to take a high res photo of top bottom and sides, straight on.  What I do then is place 3 zero thickness XY, XZ, and YZ planes crossing each other at the the x,y, and z intersection of your model space and apply the images to both sides of each plane in the appropriate direction.  That will give you a really good reference to model over in 3D space.

It would be nice to use actual plans this way, but you can do the same thing with photos.  Might be a little tougher to line the images up, though.  This guy was modeling the Seaview from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.

I use Alias StudioTools V13.5 for my 3d modeling and rendering
