LOD feature is now applied to 3D model as well.
Driving simulation has been expanded.
-Automatic / Manual transmission is improved and shift
time reduced.
-ABS (Anti-lock braking system) is now supported.

-Light source has been set to 3D model on UC-win/Road
(Model of vehicle, street lamp and building etc.)
Headlight function has been expanded.
-Light distribution pattern (beam pattern) has been improved.
-The range and shape exposed by both left and right headlight
has been optimized.
-Low beam and high beam can now be switched around.

The function for generating the terrain has been expanded.
-Terrain of any size can be set freely.
-Formation field can now be specified regardless
of the aspect ratio and coordinate system.
-Elevation data is applied to SRTM90 (90. mesh),
ASTER (30m mesh) and image file.
-The terrain data in several different formats
can now be synthesized.
Mirror function
- You can now put as many mirrors as you want in
and around the vehicle cabin, hence the cabin of large trucks
and heavy vehicles etc. known for having many mirrors can
now be accurately visualized.
Sound effects are even more real.
-The sound file of the medium-sized car has been
updated and traveling vehicle’s default sound profile settings
has been improved.
Waypoint on an intersection
-Speed of vehicles within a traffic network
can be controlled and event transition within in a scenario are
now possible.
Log output plug-in
-Coordinate information, direction, speed
and steering angle of a driving vehicle can be output to a log.
-Traffic network and characters can now be
exported.
-It is now possible to save in CSV format or output UDP in real time through a network.
The ability to import the latest FBX 2013.
-Collada files can now be imported. Many data including the ones created directly by SketchUp and 3D
Gallery can now be used.
Vertical curve of railroad
-Simple circular curve (arc)
has been applied in conjunction with the vertical curve (parabola) of a
road.

| 3. VR Conference in London |
FORUM8 will hold its first International Conference on 3D VR Simulation
in the crypt of the world famous St. Paul's Cathedral in London on Tuesday
November 20th from 9am - 4.30pm.
This preliminary conference is titled "The Application of Modern 3D
VR Simulation in Urban, Transport & Emergency Planning" and the
days will consist of eights presentations from Eight internationally renowned
guest speakers. Their presentation will surely offer the audience with
an insight, innovative ideas, and principals in the continuously developing
area of 3D technology as they will give an in-depth explanation and case
studies on many aspects of the application of 3D VR simulation and visualisation
based on their expertise in the fields of transport planning, architecture
and road safety.
The conference will include a half hour free Cathedral Tour, complimentary
buffet lunch, and coffee breaks in which guests and attendees can network
to open up new opportunities. |
