The objective of this project was to model and animate a dark ride attraction using Revit, SketchUp, and 3ds Max.
Step #1 - Revit Base Model and Ride Vehicle
Inspired by the layouts of classic dark ride attractions, I designed a track layout and I created a base model of my dark ride using Revit. I also modeled a ride vehicle as a Revit family and imported it onto my track.

Step #2 - Adding Entourage
Next, I imported my Revit base model into SketchUp. Using assets from SketchUp's warehouse, I filled the dark ride with entourage and show elements. I also rendered the dark ride in V-Ray.
Step #3 - Creating Animations with 3ds Max
After exporting the SketchUp model to 3ds Max, I began animating the dark ride's vehicles!
