3D Renderings with LumenRT Enhance Project Visualizations

Using LumenRT software takes our 3D modeling a step above the industry standard by producing high-definition visualizations and videos. It allows us to include life-like features such as trees, buildings, vehicles and people. We can build our own terrains and present designs in geospatially accurate settings.

LumenRT also allows us to create models of existing conditions and put them side-by-side with our proposed alternative, which helps the client and the public better visualize the benefits of our design. We can even alter the time of day to accurately represent the difference in peak traffic times between existing and proposed models.

We created a 3-minute-long, 3D-video for the public meeting that showed the completed project. Using the LumenRT software helped to generate public understanding and positive feedback on the proposed alternative. TxDOT received zero complaints about the design, indicating that the meeting had been a success and the project was approved by the public.

What makes a blockchain so special? As elaborated below, it is a distributed, immutable linked ledger that applies transactions to an asset

Keeping our clients’ projects on schedule is always a top priority. LumenRT can shorten the time it takes to gain stakeholder buy-in and public engagement. Presenting these otherwise complex changes in a realistic video can increase understanding and buy-in, which can mitigate public pushback and keep our clients’ projects moving forward.

The LumenRT software can also be used in conjunction with PTV Vissim, a traffic simulation software that models complex vehicle interactions on a detailed level. These models can be imported into LumenRT to create an even more accurate, realistic presentation of a project.
