MOVING ELEMENT

The basic idea behind this element is for it to act as a large-scale, responsive weather-shade over an outdoor auditorium. I drew inspiration from the ancient Roman velarium. More info can be found here. The final element will more closely resemble the velarium, but for now this is just a proof of concept.

I was unable to get this model working smoothly in Lumion - the move tool would only move one segment at a time - but will have a workaround soon. The final velarium should, in theory, work better in Lumion.
