Three-Dimensional Modeling with Texture Mapping. Case Study: Omdurman Ahlia University

Abstract

In the last twenty years, three-dimensional (3D) modeling has been the focus of many projects. At the present time and with the new development in the technology of digital equipment and devices and the remarkable development in personal computers, processors, RAM, storage units and software, 3D modeling has become more feasible and requires little time and effort. The objective of this research is to provide information on all resources within the Omdurman Ahlia University (OAU) campus to assist new students and visitors who are wasting their time to searching for a specific place within the OAU campus which is known to be very complex. The current system for guidance relies on labeling and signs with names of collage unites offices of every building, and two maps at the main gates of a university. The aim of the research is to make use of geographic information system (GIS) to provide an interactive environment to provide the best conceptual model of campus that provides information on the all sources within it to save time and effort to search for, as well as to provide a building information model (BIM) system that helps in planning, development and improvement, Interior of the campus. The methodology used is very flexible and can be used and applied to many projects and applications and can be used especially in hospitals, universities, airports, buildings that constantly change according to the requirements of the country or by adding new buildings to make decisions and follow the appropriate procedures and best to reduce the size of complex construction and provide A database filled with data on previous buildings. In this proposed system, several software’s was employed and used in order to complete the required production.
