Description
Within the civil engineering field, we definitely need our structures to function properly and be safe to use. However, while many notable breakthroughs have already been accomplished in almost every single one of the field’s disciplines, some aspects are not as optimized as they could ― or even as they should. Sam has been in the visualization industry for 10+ years, providing 3D visualization services of huge, billion-dollar projects for public agencies and private companies, whether it be through landscaping and aesthetics, interactive and 3D visualizations, public outreach, or anything that is related to the visual side of infrastructure and engineering projects. Throughout his journey, he learned that, unfortunately, we are years behind the architecture industry when it comes to visualizing our projects, both regarding the tools available ― most of them are, in fact, built for architects ― and the complex workflow required ― the stressful work of importing multiple files, in different formats, into different pieces of software. That’s where Vision, the topic of today’s episode, comes into play. It’ll be a non-proprietary, easy-to-use, built-for-civil-engineering, real-time visualization tool that will fill in the existing gap in the visual aspect of engineering projects. Sam walks us through the progress he and his team at Beyond CAD have been making regarding Vision’s asset library, user interface, traffic system, and more. He also touches on how the beta-testing period might play out, and the different versions that will probably be available when it first launches in early 2021.
