We streamlined a complex process to export the entire Revit model of the building into Unreal Engine using a combination of Dataprep and Datasmith. Once imported, I was also responsible for modifying the original Revit model to match the built environment. There were several discrepancies between the two due to renovations and construction changes.

We aligned a point cloud scan to our Unreal Engine model, allowing us to reference the real classroom as we designed the virtual one.

I also added critical details to the model with Unreal Engine; adding custom textures and importing BIM models of furniture and other classroom accessories into the virtual environment.
