Realistic Bus Stop Shelter – User Guide

1. File Overview

2. Main Collection Structure

3. Choosing the Correct Workflow

4. Modular Glass Configuration

The glass setup is stored in:

MB-BUS_STOP-GLASS

Main components include:

• MB_BusStop-Poles — structural poles and supports
• MB_BusStop-ROOF — curved shelter roof
• MB_BusStop-Glass_Window-Back — back glass panels
• MB_BusStop-Glass_Window_side — side glass panel
• MB_BusStop-ADVERSIGN — advertising display
• MB_BusStop-STOPSIGN — bus stop sign
• BANK — bench collection
• SIGN — timetable sign collection

Glass Rendering Notes

• Use Cycles for the supplied result.
• Transparent shelter panels naturally create additional reflections and transmission paths.
• For distant shots, consider switching to the solid-panel version.
• Reduce glass samples or transmission complexity only after confirming the required visual quality.

5. Separated Solid-Panel Bake Stage

The separated baked setup is stored in:

MB-BUS_STOP-NOGlass-Bake-Stage01

This version keeps the main components separated. It is recommended when you need to:

• hide individual panels,
• move the bench independently,
• replace only one sign,
• change materials per component,
• export selected parts separately,
• remove unwanted components from a scene.

Main objects include:

• MB_BusStop-FRAME-BAKE
• MB_BusStop-Glass_Window_side-SOLID
• MB_BusStop-Glass_Window-Back-SOLID
• MB_BusStop-ADVERSIGN-BAKE
• MB_BusStop-STOPSIGN-BAKE
• MB_BussStop_Light-BAKE
• BANK — baked bench collection
• SIGN — baked timetable sign collection

6. Joined Baked Stage

The consolidated setup is stored in:

MB-BUS_STOP-NOGlass-Bake-Stage02

It contains three primary production objects:

• 1 MB_BusStop-JOINED-BAKE — main shelter
• 2 MB_BusStop-BANK-JOINED-BAKE — bench
• 3 MB_BusStop-Bus_plan_Sign-JOINED-BAKE — timetable sign

Use Stage 02 when individual shelter construction elements no longer need to be edited separately.

7. Changing the Advertising Image

1. Select MB_BusStop-ADVERSIGN or the corresponding baked advertising object.
2. Open the Shader Editor.
3. Select the advertising material.
4. Locate the Diffuse image texture.
5. Replace the demonstration image with your custom artwork.
6. Preserve the existing image aspect ratio and UV layout.
7. Use File > External Data > Pack Resources when the updated image should be stored inside the Blender file.

8. Changing the Timetable Graphic

1. Select the timetable or route-information sign.
2. Open the Shader Editor.
3. Locate the Diffuse texture node.
4. Replace the fictional demonstration graphic.
5. Keep the original UV layout.
6. Save the custom image inside the project texture folder.

9. Appending the Asset

1. Open your target Blender file.
2. Choose File > Append.
3. Select 20260714-MB_BusStop-FINAL.blend.
4. Open the Collection folder.
5. Select the required bus stop configuration.
6. Click Append.
7. Confirm that the unused configurations were not appended.

Append CINEMATICS only when the preview cameras, lights or studio background are needed.

10. Using the FBX Export

The FBX version is intended for workflows that require conventional exported geometry and external image textures.

1. Import the supplied FBX into the target application.
2. Choose the 4K or 2K texture folder.
3. Reconnect the PBR maps where automatic material import is incomplete.
4. Use the correct color-space configuration.
5. Rebuild glass or transmission materials according to the target renderer.

11. Texture Color Spaces

12. Performance Tips

• Use the joined Stage 02 configuration for larger city scenes.
• Use the solid-panel setup when transparent glass is not visible to the camera.
• Use linked duplicates for repeated identical bus stops.
• Use 2K textures for background and wide urban scenes.
• Use 4K textures for close-ups and hero shots.
• Hide unused configurations in both viewport and render.
• Remove or hide the CINEMATICS collection in production files.
• Use Solid View while arranging larger environments.
• Reduce the Blender viewport texture limit when working with many high-resolution assets.
