Use Get Map Data to import basemap and terrain data. Others can interact with them, understand your plans and designs, and participate in improving the overall project. Showcase your designs Publish your 3D models online.Maximize integration Experience seamless integration into your current pipelines and workflows by exporting your CityEngine scenes as industry standard 3D data formats.Display scenarios side-by-side for visual comparison and analysis. Visualize and measure scenarios Create multiple design alternatives within a single scene and compare them.Save time by building large urban environments with procedural modeling and scripting. Build with 3D modeling tools Create beautiful real-world or imaginary environments easily.CityEngine allows you to specify/visualize/analyze and store/maintain zoning regulations in 3D. In most cases, however, they are hard to understand by the public and other stakeholders. They are the main tool defining the image of a city and/or growth/development investment money. Zoning regulations are text-based descriptions (per city) of allowed building volumes, usage, and density. The ability to visualize urban planning and zoning rules in 3D is also important in the design process. Integrated reporting of important building parameters such as Floor Area Ratio (density) lot coverage is available while designing. Because the 3D city model is rule driven, iterating through a number of design scenarios is as easy as changing rule parameters. The more detail provided in each of these elements, the greater the complexity and real-world accuracy that will be included in the generated 3D content.Īnother key strength of CityEngine is the ability to design in 3D. This means that any GIS organization will be able to create visually stunning 3D urban environments using the data they already have.ĬityEngine relies on three key topics: feature geometry, feature attributes, and procedurally defined rules.
CITYENGINE ADVANCED SOFTWARE
The software allows you to create high-quality 3D content using nothing more than a combination of 2D data, attributes, and procedurally defined rules. The ability to easily create 3D urban scenes based on existing GIS data is one of the key strengths of CityEngine. The software can be used either in isolation or as part of existing workflows, and it is an essential tool for anyone working with 3D urban environments, both real and imagined.
CITYENGINE ADVANCED PROFESSIONAL
It is intended for professional users in architecture, urban planning, entertainment, simulation, GIS, and general 3D content production. It allows you to create 3D cities and buildings efficiently. Esri CityEngine is a conceptual design and modeling software for the creation of 3D urban scenes based on existing GIS data.
