'Making of Underground Escalator'
by Lionel Verlinden


The Position & Animation of the Steps:



So, for the animation, I took the spline again that I used at the very beginning.  I placed a first step at the bottom of the escalator and then applied a "path constraint” on the step.

I duplicated the step and changed the value of the “Along Path”.  Between two steps, I set a distance of 2,4.  So, the first is at 47,3 and the following step is at 49,7.  I repeated this action for each step of the escalator.

Texturing:



On the two sides there is a concrete texture for the wall, and the other texture is the wood for the floor and the ceiling.
