Holbeck 3D City Model featured in top magazine

The industry leading CAD User magazine has recently featured a case study concerning Leeds-based AMT3D and its technology and services for architectural, planning, construction and regeneration professionals.

The case study centres on AMT3D's development of what is the largest 3D city model in the world using long distance laser scanning technology, The Holbeck Urban Village.

AMT3D told Sapling.info:

"Highlighting the industry's growing demand for 3D visualisations, the case study details how AMT3D's technology could assist in the design and public consultation process surrounding proposed new developments by enabling architects to show their new schemes within the true context of the existing built environment.

"It also highlighted the fact that such 3D city models would be of great benefit in speeding the planning process and also a tremendous aid in the marketing of proposed schemes to target residential and commercial tenants and owners alike.

"Mention was also made of AMT3D's ability to provide clients with web hosting facilities for their 3D city models, thereby improving the public consultation and marketing applications enormously.

"Finally, the case study failed to mention the fact that important GIS information can now be added to AMT3D city models providing for a 4th dimension in what are truly unique reconstructions of the real world."

Meanwhile, the public can experience a video walk through of the Holbeck Urban Village themselves bu visiting the BBC Big Screen in Millennium Square, Leeds. From Wednesday 27th September at 12 noon, and continuing four times a day until Christmas, the video clip will show a view of the world from outer space, moving down into the 3D urban space of Holbeck itself (courtesy of Google Earth and AMT3D), followed by a walk through the streets of this key regeneration area, and returning 5 minutes later up into the blue sky above Leeds.
