Suburb Intersection 2022
The stoplights are all individually animateable, and I also assembled traffic templates. This allows the environment to flex into a variety of different uses as our training products require
The main road is straight and aligned on the Z axis, minimizing the effort for simple straight-line driving animations
The crossing street includes more complicated left and right turn lanes, as well as an overpass. This can be used to illustrate scenarios like merging into turn lanes, performing turns, coming to a stop on a hill, and so on
The set dressing includes a retail parking lot with actual entrances, allowing vehicles to enter and leave the lot as needed for the lesson
The set dressing is broken up into several modules and makes heavy use of MASH and Redshift proxies, which keeps the scene lightweight and easy to work in
This is a suburban intersection environment I built at my day job with SambaSafety. I designed and laid out the scene, and also modeled things like the bridge and the roads and sidewalks. The asphalt shader is my handiwork as well.
We produce a variety of driver training for all sorts of vehicle types, and a request we get frequently from our editors and scriptwriters are for vehicles doing various maneuvers in a large complex intersection. Some older environment templates we used for this were fairly limited, so I put together this environment which is both higher visual quality, and has numerous features to allow it to work with any request our training content team throws at us.
