UC-win/Road is state-of-the-art 3D urban visualisation and transport modelling software. Users can manipulate dynamic 3D space, import and edit CAD data, build and texture simple block models, automatically build roads, tunnels & bridges, view multiple design alternatives in real-time, both offline and online, as well as being able to visualise and edit intelligent traffic in ways previously not possible & much more...
Ideal for both urban, traffic and pedestrian planning and stakeholder consultation.
Enhanced file support by UC-win/Road. UC-win/Road can import FBX files which can cover various kinds of models
File format
Version
Autodesk AutoCAD DXF (.dxf)
Version 13 and earlier.
Collada DAE (.dae)
Version 1.5 and earlier.
3D Studio 3DS (.3ds)
All versions.
Alias OBJ (.obj)
All versions.
Comparison between data imported as 3ds and data imported using FBX
FBX compatible file formats and their versions
2. LOD function
By lowering the resolution of smaller elements, the processing time can be reduced without badly affecting the quality of the visualization. MD3 characters, shadow, lake and pond and 3D trees
Original mesh / Side texture / front texture
MD3 character generated by the LOD second phase
3. Creating rivers
River creation is improved in UC-win/Road version 5 - just like with roads, planar and longitudinal linear alignment is now possible.
Sample river model
4. Improvenment in road section edit
Improvement in road section editor: road sections can be created in independent blocks
5. Navigation function
Simple viewpoint operation is independent from movement mode. Viewpoint can be operated in navigation movement mode.
Pursuit movement mode
Movement mode
Available viewpoint operations
Free movement
Roll, forwards and backwards, right -left, up-down, fly through, aerial view, jump
Travel on road, flight path and driving simulation
Roll, circle around an object, aerial view
Pedestrian
Roll, jump
Pursuit
Circle around an object, aerial view
6. Tsunami function
Tsunami function is added in UC-win/Road. Data can be shared with xpswmm.
Tsunami in urban area
Tsunami with spray
7. Improved audio
By employing OpenAL, a variety of surrounding sound and the car's engine sound are covered.
Synthesizing engine sound and sound source
8. 2D/3D texts
3D texts can be generated and placed inside the 3D environment easily.
9. Video wall function
Animation video display including cylindrical screen can be reproduced as 3D object
10. Vehicle dynamics model
Improved immersion feeling, accuracy and the linkage with motion platform
11. Special weather function
The expression of rain and snow was strengthened. Fog and thunder for the limited area can be defied.
Road puddle
Puddle reflection
Wind
Wiper
Water ripples
Road mirage
12. UC-win/Road for SaaS Plugin
For the web publication of UC-win/Road. Interactive operation on client's browser
