THE SIMULATION TOOLS
Rooms must be loaded into MultiScape via SNAP or Locator
scripts.
The procedure outlined below illustrates the five-step process
involved in creating a virtual Soundscape in MultiScape.
Room properties define the impulse response of a room. These
responses can be measured (using Lake Technology’s
measurement application), or generated from simulated
soundspaces using modelling software such as the CATTacoustics
room modelling package or Lake Technology’s
MakeRoom application.
Create a room segment (a virtual space). Three-dimensional
spaces may be divided up into a series of rectangular based
prisms. To define complex room geometries or spaces a series
of these prisms may be linked together using the same room
properties (impulse responses).
Once defined, the room properties or impulses may be
associated with the room segments, to give the virtual acoustic
spaces realistic sound properties. Each segment can have a
single property, but multiple room segments may be associated
with the same property.
Doors are created as rectangular objects with lower left, and
upper right X,Y,Z coordinate pairs and have to be attached to
specific room segments. Doors must be placed at the junction
of two rooms. Once doors are associated with room segments it
is possible to give a value representing the relative value of
their closure. Doors with a value of 0.00 are fully closed while
doors with a value of 1.00 are fully open.
MultiScape provides three levels of simulation.
