MATEUS, Sandra P  e  GIRALDO, Jorge E. Design of a 3D Model with Virtual Reality of the Colombian Polytechnic Institute Jaime Isaza Cadavid. Inf. tecnol. [online]. 2012, vol.23, n.3, pp. 95-102. ISSN 0718-0764.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-07642012000300012.

This work shows the development of a Virtual Environment of the campus Poblado of the Colombian Polytechnic Jaime Isaza Cadavid, using virtual reality techniques. This with the aim of obtaining a model of the physical plant of the institution to project its image through a friendly graphical interface based on 3D technology. The work was developed following three main steps: i) characterization of the physical and virtual design of the model, for which 3DMax and Maya of Autodesk were selected among the several tools for 3D modeling and Unity as graphics engine; ii) creation of UV mapping; and iii) texturing process. The results of the proposed virtual environment allow the user to navigate around the institution and interact with the different spaces as done with a video-game.
