SR 101 - Elwha River Bridge Replacement

This is a video production explaining the need to replace the Elwha River Bridge on SR 101 in Washington State and showing the proposed replacement bridge.

The first half of the video includes drone footage, an interview and AfterEffects animations.
The second half is 3D visualization created with MicroStation and LumenRT.

  • Hi Ron , great work , thumb up,

    Q: how do you manage a movement of cars?/ by Vissim?/

    Q: did you make a movie by keyframes ? / a work with movie editor is really stressfull/

    Q; how is your experience with 3sm ,/ after adding is not possible to edit and 3sm  is ignoring real heigth  z=0, how to geolocate 3sm, 

    thanks foe response

    regards

    Karol

  • Hi Karol,

    Thanks for the Thumbsup.

    To answer you questions:

    1. All of the vehicle animation was setup using the LumenRT traffic and car animation tools. I placed 2 individual lanes of continuous traffic on the main line (SR 101) and one lane of slower, less dense traffic on Olympic Hot Springs road turning right onto the acceleration lane on SR 101. I then added individual vehicles to illustrate the turning movements at the intersection. This required observation of the continuous traffic to find appropriate moments for the turns to occur. I then adjusted the start time and pause time for those 2 vehicles so they appear to cooperate with the continuous traffic.

    2. I also find the key frames difficult to work with, although I am getting better at making them do as I want. 

    3. This project didn't use a 3sm. I have noticed in other projects that did involve a 3sm that the 3sm sometimes ended up partially under ground. To fix this I placed a MicroStation element just below the lowest point of the 3sm. This forced the export to be high enough to include that element, which also allowed the entire 3sm to be above the ground as well.

    Regards,
    Ron

  • Hi Ron

    I appreciate your fast response, thanks, 

    I have made some  interesting movies with LumenRT, think so the highest time to publish it :-),

    so I am little disappointed with "slow" progress of LumenRT ,and postponed release date , i try also OpenRoad/Rail ConceptStation and some others

    it could be fantastic to have  a possibility to export animation from MS and to have easy and exactly manipulating with cameras and my neverending problem with articulated trams

    and so on

    best regards

    Karol
