BIS Capstone Project

As a senior at Weber State University I have put together this website as part of my Senior Capstone Project.

Dig Deeper, Create More

I have accumulated a growing list of wesites, documentation, and videos that can help you dig deeper in to the topics that I have briefly touched on in these tutorials

Software Used

Here is a list of the various software packages that we are going to touch on in these tutorials. None of these tutorials are intended to be comprehensive but to be a look in to a workflow and introduction to the topic of making your models interactive.

Time Spent in Software

There are several softwares that we will use in these tutorials below shows the aproximate amount of time that we will spend in each software.

Revit

Little

3Ds Max

A Bit

Unreal Engine 4

Most

Substance Designer

What we will be doing in each one

Revit

This is where we are creating the models that we are using in this workflow. The time you spend here is before you start this process.

3Ds Max

A good chunk of time will be spent in 3Ds Max. Because of this I will show you the essentials so that we can accomplish what we need to. Mostly we will be using it to clean up our models though Max is a very powerful authoring software as well.

Unreal Engine 4

Most of our time will be spent in Unreal Engine. This is the engine that we will be using to render out our real-time environment. There are very few limits to what you can do in Unreal. Really your imagination is the limit.

Substance Designer

We are not actually going to show Substance but I felt like it needed to be showcased here as it is a natural companion to any rendering engine. Allegorithmic recently allowed students and educators to download and use the Substance tool chest for free. It is extremely powerful and time invested in learning it will show in your models.
