TCAS Training — Course 08 · 3D

Website-Ready Interactive 3D Model

Take a finished reconstruction to a browser GLB that actually loads on a phone.

Included in the Professional 3D Delivery System — $499 ($695 individually), and in the Complete Mastery System ($799 introductory).

Prelaunch: online checkout is not open yet. The complete 15-course Rev. 3 curriculum is written and finalized — join the launch list and we will email enrollment details, pricing confirmation, and availability the moment it opens.

Textured 3D site reconstruction produced by Tri-Cities Aerial Solutions

What You Will Produce

An optimized GLB embedded in a live web viewer with click-to-load, orbit, zoom, reset, and fullscreen where practical.

Who This Is For

  • Operators who have a 3D model no client can open
  • Pilots who want a portfolio piece that sells the next job

Prerequisites & Required Equipment

  • Course 07 or an existing reconstruction
  • Basic file and hosting access

What You Will Learn

  • Getting from the finished reconstruction to a browser-ready GLB
  • The TCAS reference case: BlockRXBA_web.glb at roughly 85 MB before site optimization
  • Draco geometry compression plus WebP textures, taking that reference to roughly 6 MB for the website
  • Embedding a viewer with orbit, zoom, reset, and fullscreen where practical
  • Click-to-load / lazy-load so a heavy model never hurts page speed
  • Desktop and mobile verification before you call it delivered
  • Communicating that the web model is an optimized preview of a higher-detail deliverable

Hands-On Assignment

Publish your model in a browser viewer behind a click-to-load control and confirm it loads and orbits smoothly on a phone.

Required Final Deliverable / Success Criteria

  • Model file size within a stated web budget
  • Viewer controls work on touch and mouse
  • No layout or performance regression on the host page

Planned Course Materials

The complete 15-course Rev. 3 curriculum is written and finalized. Online delivery, downloads, and checkout are being set up now — course files are not downloadable today. Join the launch list and we will email you when enrollment opens.

  • Structured workflow training manual (Rev. 3 curriculum — written and finalized, delivered at launch)
  • Exact verified reference settings, clearly separated from job-dependent decisions
  • Printable field or processing checklist (delivered at launch)
  • Project-folder template with the TCAS naming convention (delivered at launch)
  • QA pass/fail release criteria for the final deliverable
  • Troubleshooting notes from real failures on completed TCAS workflows
  • Model optimization command reference

Secure card checkout through Square is being connected. Until it is live, submit an enrollment request and TCAS will reserve your seat and send a payment link.

Paid courses can include a TCAS Certificate of Completion. It is a course-completion credential documenting the workflow you finished and the deliverable you produced — it is not an FAA certificate, surveying license, engineering credential, or any regulatory or professional certification.

An RTK FIX status alone is not proof of validated absolute accuracy. Projects that require survey-grade or control-based accuracy need appropriate ground control, independent validation, and licensed professionals where legally required. Students are taught to distinguish visualization and photogrammetry products from products that require validated survey control or licensed professional sign-off.

TCAS training is independent professional-development training and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the FAA, DJI, QGIS, Blender, Cesium, Apple, or other manufacturers, software providers, or professional licensing boards unless expressly stated. Completion does not grant an FAA certificate, surveying license, engineering credential, or other professional license.
