APR 3D Workflow Automation

Project Context & Objectives

Exporting dense architectural models from BIM to the web typically requires tedious manual material reassignment and creates heavy file sizes that perform poorly on mobile devices.

Key Features & Design Solutions

  • Blender Python scripts automatically organizing architectural assemblies into semantic collections (slabs, cutaway walls, furnishings, roofs).
  • Draco mesh compression reducing multi-megabyte building files by up to 75% for fast web loading.
  • Camera clearance checks ensuring smooth, unobstructed navigation in real-time viewers.

Key Deliverables

  • Blender Semantic glTF Export Scripts
  • Draco Compression & WebP Material Workflow
  • WebGL 3D Viewer Asset Pipeline
