Loading 3d building files

[Amith Kumar]

Hello folks,

I have been wondering about making a model in which one can render a 3d building and simulate people movement inside the building (some what similar to BIM model, inspired by this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qu3-R2EwX0 ). I am pretty new to GAML and I couldn't find the documentation regarding rendering 3d models and implementation of the BIM model. It would be great if some one point me towards the right direction about BIM implementation. For a time being I am getting familiar with GAML and trying to implement the agents complex behaviour in model.

I have couple of questions:
1) Is it possible interface unity3d models with GAMA? If yes, How? (assuming I have fbx or obj files)
2) Where to find the basic BIM toy model?
3) Do I need to have extra plugins to render 3d models?

Thanks in advance,
Amith

Hi,

1) Is it possible interface unity3d models with GAMA? If yes, How? (assuming I have fbx or obj files)

no not for the moment. GAMA just allows to render obj files (using opengl).

2) Where to find the basic BIM toy model?

Not available for the moment. I mean the IFC plugin that allows to load BIM model is not yet deployed. We will try to deploy it (make it available for all GAMA users) in the following weeks. Just a side note, the integration of BIM model (through IFC file) is still experimental, and far from being stable.

3) Do I need to have extra plugins to render 3d models?

GAMA already integrates opengl rendering features: you can render 3D objects, in particular obj files. However, GAMA does not use a video-game engine like Unity, and so is not very efficient in terms of 3D objects rendering (if you have many complex obj files, the display will be very slow).

Cheers,

Patrick

Thank you very much Patrick. I am looking forward for the IFC plugin and will get my hands dirty on BIM model.

Cheers,

Hi
How to load obj files ? is it similar to importing a shape file? If possible could you please share some sample code to read .obj files and display the same.

Cheers,
Amith

Please see examples in Model Library.

Yes, I fund one while searching on github. Thanks Srirama.
