All four solar canopy structures — Gullwing, Double Monopitch, Single Monopitch Incline, and Single Monopitch Decline — were modelled from scratch in 3Ds Max using SIG's technical specifications. Each model was built with structural accuracy, capturing the steel framework, mounting rails, and solar panel arrays, while keeping geometry optimised for real-time performance in the interactive app.

Unreal Engine Editor (Interactive App)

The app was built entirely in UE5 using Blueprints for navigation logic. The interface was kept deliberately simple — Previous/Next controls to cycle through the four designs — so that sales staff and exhibition visitors could use it without any training. The finished app ran on a dedicated laptop and was displayed on large screens at SIG's exhibition stands.

Each canopy design received its own construction animation, showing the structure being assembled component by component. Wireframe views were used during the design phase to verify geometry, camera angles, and timing before committing to full lighting and rendering. The goal was a natural, satisfying pace — clear enough to communicate the build process, dynamic enough to hold attention on a busy exhibition floor.
