Air Brakes
Professional - 3D - eLearning
The air brake system found in most semi-trucks with two wheels in front and four in the back. Modeled in Autodesk 3DS Max from schematics, and maintenance and repair manuals. The various components and systems were animated, and then imported into a real-time game engine for interactive eLearning applications.
Animated.
This video showcases some of the ways the 3D models were presented. The addition of 3D arrows, highlights, animated gases and pipe-flows, callout views, and mechanical animations of the system and components increased user engagement and knowledge gained.
