Work in Progress

The process undergone to create this AR Guide is not complicated however it was incredibly tedious and slightly boring as it included a number of model optimising actions, multiple exports as different model types in order to make it work with the layar platform, and then the actual placing of the model onto a gps map, which required lengthy model and image uploads for the respective models information dialogues. So as I said, a simple process yet because of the scale fo the job, the simple process became repeated and tedious.


My workflow went as follows:

Models

-Unit setup












-Resize and Position on plane












-Export as .obj












-Open in Layar model converter, export as .l3d












In the first stage I really should have made sure I had a low poly count(<5000), style="font-weight: bold;">

Hoppala

-Setup new augment page












-Place models












-Upload model, image, information












Layar
-Setup new layer












Test
-Use iPhone or Android to view the AR layer
