Now in place on the central balcony, but not yet operational. This is the motorised mechanism which will enable one elevator to operate from the ground level to the central balcony, and another two elevators to operate from the central balcony to the top balcony.
At the top balcony, I plan to add a panoramic view of Paris! (if all goes well)

The Eiffel Tower is now ready for some optimisation, and the adding of the moving elevator system. Once that is complete then you, the viewer,must be able to hop into the elevator and take a ride to the top.
So far, working with this virtual Meccano has been great fun.......almost as good as the real thing! Added another section to the Eiffel Tower, with some comments.
All parts to be used in my Mindstorms Project are now complete and have PhysX enabled rigidbodies for use in 3DRad v7.x
There are indications that the Meccano Project mega Eiffel Tower is going to be too much of a load for even 3Impact.....but I'll see what I can do with more optimisation and greater use of imposters. My Virtual Meccano project will be proceeding on two fronts....
1) large scale, where I'll be working with large interactive models. 2) small scale, where I'll be using my Virtual Workbench environment to build and demonstate various Meccano-based mechanisms. To test the limits, I've made a start at constructing a Meccano model of the Eiffel Tower. Follow my progress here. |
