THREE DIMENSIONAL MODELING WITH DESIGN TEXTURE MAPPING FOR SUDAN UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

According to the great urban progress in the country and permanent renewal of buildings in line with modern developments an update of 3D building infrastructures becomes a necessity. Especially university buildings are of main concern, which are changing continuously as well as offices and lecture halls according to the requirements of the university and by adding new buildings. Students are suffering for knowing places of offices, lecture halls and how to reach it, especially the new students during the registration period, who are wasting their time in asking off a way to reach a particular place inside the university. This could affect negatively on their lecture times or the completion of registration procedure in time. Starting off from that point, different ideas and techniques grew up to make the geographic orientation easier for students and guiding them to reach a particular place in due time. For this reason, the need of applying three-dimensional visualizations with texture mapping is the true simulation of reality- this is called Virtual Reality Model (VRM). On the other hand, this thesis aims to take advantages of GIS environment to offer a flexible interactive system for providing the best visual interpretation, planning and decision making processes for SUSTECH.
