Building Blocks for Modern City Scenes - Kit 02 3D model

This kit is intended for adding passenger railways to city scenes composed of Kit 01 (Kit 01 can be downloaded at https://www.cgtrader.com/free-3d-models/exterior/cityscape/building-blocks-for-modern-city-scenes-kit01 for free). There are two file formats in this kit: FBX and OBJ. Each format includes six files: three files containing building-block modules, and three files containing examples composed of the modules from this kit and Kit 01. More details are as the following.

(1) Modules in this kit: The file Kit02_Modules01 contains modules of roads, railway tracks, and vehicles (figure 02). Kit02_Modules02 contains a railway station module (figure 03). And Kit02_Modules03 contains other building modules (figure 04). The modules are made using SketchUp 8 and then exported to Blender 2.83 for file format conversion and rendering. The converted files still have the original SketchUp material settings, and the rendered appearances of the modules are shown in figures 02~04. Relevant materials are assigned names describing how they should look or what they should look like, such as red_smooth, yellow_rough, concrete, asphalt, ..., etc. The orientation setting is Y forward and Z up.

(2) Assembly Instructions: Regular steps of assembly include copying and pasting, rotating, and moving the modules. The modules are color-coded. A color-coded surface may be attached to a surface with the same color or a white surface (figure 05). The material names of the color-coded surfaces are color_code_00, color_code_01, ..., etc. Each file containing modules also contains a color code palette (figure 06). If modules from two different files are to be assembled, it is better to make sure in advance that the two palettes have the same color settings.

(3) Examples: The three examples are composed of modules from this kit and Kit 01. The file Kit02_Example01 shows an example of road and railway networks (figure 07). The road network is similar to those in Kit 01 examples. And the railway tracks are either elevated or lowered to avoid interferences with the ground traffic. Kit02_Example02 shows road and railway networks and a railway station (figure 10). The design of the railway station assumes that railways roughly form a rectangular network, and each major railway station locates at an intersection of two perpendicular railways. Adding buildings, trees, and vehicles to Kit02_Example02 results in Kit02_Example03 (figure 11). Using additional material settings, the rendered results of this example are shown in figures 12~25, but the additional material settings are not included in this kit. The tris number of Kit02_Example03 is 894,871. In the rendered figures, the red trains are long-distance trains, and the blue trains are commuter trains.

(4) Versions: This is the first version of this kit and was published on 2021/08/31.
