3D Model Guidelines
App only recognises 3D models in our proprietary .
elv
file format
App does not display texture maps
App will not open if 3D models are too large
3D Modelling Instructions
3D model units must be metres
3D models must be geolocated to Great Britain Ordnance Survey National Grid coordinate system
Device's GPS is used to locate the 3D models relative to Ordnance Survey National Grid coordinate system - Eastings, Northings and altitude AOD
3D model format is .OBJ
Maximum 3D model budget:
Total combined polygon count of all 3D models: up to 4,000 polygons (faces)
Total combined file size of all .OBJ files: 400 - 600KB
Ensure 3D geometry is simple and clean:
Construct building models from simple extruded surfaces, blocks or cylinders
Use triangles and quads polygons
Use as few sides as possible on circle and cylinder objects
Remove unnecessary or hidden caps and faces
Use single sided objects
No Boolean meshes
No coplanar/coincident faces that occupy the same space
It is acceptable to have intersecting faces that cut through one another
No isolated vertices
Weld vertices to avoid 'Rats Nest' errors
Normals must be unified and face outwards
Add a UVW box modifier to every object
Export Instructions
Export 3D models as .OBJ files
Use Export Selected procedure
Export separate 3D models for the surrounding site and each individual proposed building design option 3D model
Name exported .OBJ files logically to identify in which order you would like the design option models displayed in EYE
VIEW
A 'Rats Nest' error signifies one of the issues mentioned in the 3D Model Guidelines above exists in a 3D model
Email 3D models to EYELEVEL Creative using the link opposite
Email the following
.OBJ file of surrounding site 3D model
.OBJ file of each individual proposed building design option 3D model
Each associated .MTL file
