Suspension Systems
Professional - 3D - eLearning
Suspension types of varying degrees of complexity, from solid mount to air cushions. Modeled in Autodesk 3DS Max from photo reference taken by Matthew on location at client facilities, and provided schematics/manuals. The models were 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, exploded views, and animations showing the mechanics of each suspension system increased user engagement and knowledge.
Below, you will find more renders of two suspensions systems, Leaf Spring, and Air Cushion.
