In this article, we will show you the process on submitting a request for a 3D model to be created for your account to use inside PAM.
When requesting for a 3D model, please keep in mind, it can take up to 1 week before the request is completed. We ask that you submit a request as early as practically possible in order to receive it back on time for your account.
Please read PAM’s requirements for 3D models.
All 3D models have to be in a .glb file
A .glb file is the file type PAM requires for upload purposes
Any colour can be included on the 3D model
All 3D models are built to scale (e.g. A building 10 meters tall in real life will be built 10 meters tall in 3D software.)
Recommended sizes for different kinds of 3D models
Large - 500kb - 350kb (architectural models, stadium, bridge, opera house)
Medium - 100kb (branding, landmarks, logos, smaller building structures)
Small - 50kb - (vegetation, decorative material, small objects)
The sizes are a guide as creating models that are too big when they can be a smaller file size might decrease performance speeds.
Pricing
For every 3D model you request, a fee is incurred to cover the costs of the time and labour to create the model.
The pricing structure for the below requests will be outlined inside your proposal:
Requesting for an architectural feature 3D model (for any structured building or a large model)
Requesting for smaller sized 3D models (for any waypoint / sponsored feature / small objects)
3D models may be included in your licensing / set-up fees, if you are not sure please contact your Support for more information.
Submitting a 3D model request
Steps
1. Go into https://mediabankpam.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portals
