Developing a Building Construction Timelapse Generator
Summary
This paper details the creation of a Houdini Digital Asset with the ability to create an animation of a building under construction.
The HDA also generates geometry surrounding the construction animation to replicate the trappings of a time-lapse building construction, including scaffolding, cranes and internal girding and structure that initially construct surrounding the object before being removed frame changes of a given timelapse, features were also developed to distribute a given number of to leave the provided mesh.
Various parameters can also be altered regarding the animation, including the control of timing, noise, direction, and the redefinition of primitives as groups of cladding to be constructed. In order to allow for the generated animation to gain the speed and frame-by-construction worker assets and vehicle assets across the internal structure and surrounding area.
Finally, the paper describes the results of blackbox testing and efficiency testing of the HDA for distribution.
