The FAA Technology Center in New Jersey builds virtual models of future civilian air traffic control facilities and equipment. This model was commissioned by the Department of Homeland Security and depicts a future Integrated Airport Passenger Security screening sequence.
Working with Creator Pro and Vega Prime, the FAA illustrated two stages of the facility. The first stage is a near term apparatus of independent scanners. It includes X-ray carry on baggage scanners and metal detectors, a personal 3D body scanner, and an electronic sniffer to measure any trace particle elements on passengers. The second stage is the tunnel where all the scanners are integrated into one seamless unit similar to the "ExpressTram" at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW).
The FAA used Creator Pro to build the geometry and apply textures to the models and used Vega Prime to render the scene. The final model will include a video built from a screen capture of a fly-through of the model in Vega Prime utilizing glffmpeg.
