Doorless lift WIP
cumesoftware:
This project is what you can call a "doorless" lift (or elevator). It is one of the models that were built in Europe in the 70's and 80's. It is still at is very beginning, This is perhaps the most ambitious project I've made. The final animation will have first person views, views from the shaft and views from the machine room.
The motor sound I'm using is awesome. It fits perfectly for a small lift. You can hear the original recording by pempi at:
http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/samplesViewSingle.php?id=33873. I've cleaned the audio and prolonged the landing to 3 seconds.
Anyway, here are some pics of the door:
Next thing will be the door frame. Of course I've to make the cars, the whole shaft, the lobbies at each floor and the machine room. Of course there is rigging, and then, texturing. The most complicated thing to do will be the traction cables, that have to deform around the drive pulley.

Oh yes, .... I remember it well.
Sure looks like the real thing, nice start.

Are you from anywhere in Europe?
It seems that these elevators don't exist in the US. That's why Americans are overwhelmed by the lack of safety on these elevators.
I like this kind of elevators in particular, since they are decorative from outside, that is, the door doesn't look like a set of planks.

I used to live in Belgium, now I live in Scotland.
As for safety, I rode these elevators many times and I'm still around ;D
