Having grown up and now currently living where many people in the town take a bus every morning to work at Area 51, it was a somewhat scary, yet exciting experience to finally visit the site for myself. In this brief episode I very carefully (as you can imagine working with Area 51) talk about my experience visiting Area 51 to help create a 3D visualization to be used in a court case. As always, you can visit beyondcad.com/vision for more content and updates on the visualization tool we're working on.
In this episode I talk through some of the features that will set Vision apart from existing architectural visualization engines. Read the full post here: https://www.beyondcad.com/blog/10features
Today's special guest is Juan Soto, famously known as the Civil 3D Jedi. He's a civil designer in the Fort Worth area, Texas, who has worked 20+ years in the engineering side of things, both as CAD manager and 3D marketing visualization specialist. As with many people in the industry, his first contact with visualization and 3D models was not related to work at all. In fact, what got him into this world was aviation, even though he ended up going into civil engineering afterwards. He started modeling for fun, toying with the tools to see how far he could take his “virtual twins” with the limited pieces of software of the past. Now, with the technology just getting better every day, we can bring more reality and accuracy to the models, such as using the correct terrain elevation, texture, etc. Juan and Sam discuss the collaboration between artists and engineers in visualization, the technology that allows them to combine their expertise and create both aesthetically appealing and technically accurate models, as well as Juan's work of using Unreal Engine to extract the metadata from his company's highly detailed BIM models so that they do not lose them whenever they take them to other platforms. On top of that, Juan also lays out his expectations for the future of the industry using Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality.

COVID has disrupted the ways we used to do things, both professionally and personally. The worldwide standard has shifted from in-person meetings and “recharging time” away from a computer screen to virtual meetings and constant use of technology. In fact, this shift will most likely be the driving force behind tomorrow's public outreach within the civil engineering sector, and how professionals approach it. Today, Sam discusses how current trends can impact those involved in the field of 3D visualization. Covering important points ranging from the direct impacts of the remote culture on public meetings to the positive outcomes that may derive from the combination of a more niched advertising and a better storytelling, he paints a totally new picture of what the future holds for public outreach.

Today's special guest is Nathan Ledbetter, a skilled and passionate professional when it comes to making civil engineering projects look good. Considered a pioneer of SketchUp, he and Sam have known each other for as long as the 3D modeling tool has been around, so to speak. They both met while working at Kimley-Horn, and Nathan was the one who introduced Sam to Lumion. Nathan is a college-trained landscape architect who got his degree from the University of Georgia (UGA) in 2007, after working as an intern for civil engineering firms while still in high school. Aware of the 2D, black and white civil drawings, and after being shown a colored, realistic image by a landscape architect, he made an obvious college major choice: Landscape Architecture. This choice got him started in the design world, while his interest in 3D visualization sparked while watching the first The Incredibles movie, in which he basically pictured a “Pixar for the civil engineering and design world”. After working at Kimley-Horn and being introduced to Sam, he eventually got a job at HGOR, a landscape architecture firm in Atlanta. This gave him the opportunity to work on some of the coolest projects in Atlanta at the time, which include The Atlanta Braves and The Atlanta Falcons Stadiums. Now he and his wife have started their own business called Better Together Collaborative, in which they provide services ranging from 3D renderings to land planning.
