Here is my latest Infraworks project. I was tasked by the developer to creat a 3d Model and animation to show the local Planning Commission. It took a couple of days. I had to create the buildings from the architects elevations in Sketchup. The survey, site plan, and grading were provided by another consultant.
I did not use Infraworks streets for my roads. I used Civil3d surfaces (from a corridor) with coverage areas for striping, roads, shoulders, concrete, and grass areas draped over it. I have an easy method for striping coverage area. I used barrier style for my concrete median barriers and guardrail. I used city furniture for my light pole and cars. Each light pole block had a unique rotation and when I exported them from autocad (mapexport), I made sure I also exported the block rotation. That way I was able to bring them into IW at the correct rotation. I actually found one of the poles in the middle of a ramp.
I also find it easier to place a block in my autocad drawing for the cars. That way I know that they are in the center of lanes and pointing the right way. Make a simple rule for the cars to randomize their appearance. I made the bridge and retaining walls in Sketchup from scratch. It was based right off the structural plans. I grabbed some traffic signal poles that looked close from the Sketchup 3d warehouse and modified them. I also grabbed a couple of additional cars and trucks to add more variety. Did you notice how my project is protected by the Autobots.
I've been using IW more as a 3d visualization tool for different phases of a project than planning tool.
On the more recent videos on my company's YouTube page: Atoka Roundabout, Chattanooga Airport Rental Car Expansion, and Patriots Circle, I used Lumion.
The state of things right now is not if you can do a 3d visualization, its how fast and to what level can you do it for a given price.
For civils using IW, the main things are how nice you detail your surface, and how you color it - with a draped image, or textures applied by coverage areas (much nicer for streets).
We hired someone good at 3ds max, so now I get to see how that prog handles all that.
Then there is Lumion...one more to lok at...
