EXP 3 WK 2 - Study of Elevators

An elevator is a transport device used to move goods or people vertically. because of wheelchair access laws, elevators are often a legal requirement in new buildings with multiple floors. A modern day elevator consists of a cab (also called a "cage" or "car") mounted on a platform within an enclosed space called a shaft, or in Commonwealth countries called a "hoistway".
Elevators may feature talking devices as an accessibility aid for the blind. In addition to the call buttons, elevators usually have floor indicators (often illuminated by LED) and direction lanterns. Modern elevators are designed in a way so that they can move people horizontally and diagonally as well as vertically.
Do you know why there are mirrors inside elevators? When elevator was first created, it was really slow. In order to overcome this problem, mirror were put inside elevators. While people are in elevators, when they look at mirrors, they become unconscious of the speed of elevators.
One of the main advantage of elevators is that it can become a private space for some couples !

EXP 3 WK 1 - Pathways using Ued3





These captured images are showing my first attempt with Unreal model making. It is at the beginning stage, where the model only consists of three L-shaped prisms interconnected to each other.



I have developed Unreal model design based on the three one-point perspective drawings above.
