Visualising the campus in 3D
Nick Young
Nick Young from the Centre for eResearch has been working with Vasso Koutsos from Communications and Marketing to make an accurate 3D model across Leigh Marine Science Centre, City, Grafton, Newmarket, Epsom, and Tamaki campuses to support the university’s marketing initiatives. These are being created using public datasets from Land Information New Zealand (LINZ), and an open source modelling tool Blender, and the BlenderGIS plugin. In addition, the Visualisation Suite hosted by the Centre is featured at the newly created Centres of Innovation & Entrepreneurship in the purpose of showcasing the vibrant, collaborative space where is designed to spark and develop the brilliant ideas of students from all faculties across the University of Auckland.
