Modelado 3D del centro histórico de la ciudad de Ambato aplicado en entornos virtuales.

Abstract

The objective of this curricular integration work was to carry out & 3D modeling and texturing of buildings with heritage value that are still standing in Ambato city to be placed in a virtual environment. Through qualitative research and observation sheets, die information and characteristics of the existing heritage buildings in the city were collected: gereral data, Iccation. and year of construction, as well as technical aspeets such os dimensions and color palettes of each one which were very useful for the building selection, made taking the five oldest in the city, located in an area of 150,197.97 square meters. With the blocking' technique primitive figures were drawn as a starting point for the modeling process and obtained the different levels of detail (LODs) gotten simple polygons until reaching the final representation of esch building. They were quality control through comparison sheets between the 3D object and previously made photographs of the buildings. all this is part of the CityGMI. model. With the three-dimensional models finished texturing was carried out with programs. finally, they were placed in the video engine games with a final result of a virtual environment of the selected heritage buildings distributed as in reality with dialogues between the characters providing basic information on each construction presented in the final video. To carry out 31 projects, you must have a basic knowledge of both: the programs that will use and the appropriate techniques for their elaboration, as well as the computer resources that they require te avoid malfunctions and even the breakdown of files or teams.
