Esri CityEngine - is a software for professionals in the fields of architecture, urban planner, entertainment industries, GIS and General, produces 3D content with a unique conceptual design and modeling solution for creating a 3D city and efficient buildings. a quick way to build a virtual city, easy to use for the design concept or visualization of the city models. -based city planning with the ability building of parametric and the ability to import GIS and other data in the real world.
All types of objects, the curve of the street and modeling tools are available, or real life data can be easily imported. CityEngine provides visualization tools used to make the building fit rules-based method that is useful throughout the design process.
For example, ETH Zurich, Switzerland's Federal Institute for technology, devising a plan for the village of Switzerland in Foster + Partners project Masdar City (a new sustainable city being built on empty land) using the CityEngine.
The main language of volumetric design was discovered, encoded as a rule form of CGA (grammatical forms for procedural modeling architecture that produce CG building shells with high visual quality and geometric detail) in the auto and building appropriate CityEngine produced.
In simple form, most likely to be used by the user's location, the modeling process begins by placing a grid of streets in an area that can be edited and then entered the building, according to a set of parameters that are designated by the user.
Major changes can be made in real-time to buildings in the city through a smart system to place your demographic information. Parameters such as altitude, type of building (terracing Victoria, more modern) or land use mix-all can be controlled in this way to show the realistic ' environment '.
Here, each building can be selected and manually adjusted with the height, appearance, and purpose; the road can be moved and shifted with real-time effects on the environment. After designing the building in program modeling CAD can be export as OBJ, Collada or FBX file required in the form of 3D.
CityEngine work with 3D, Collada ®, Autodesk ® FBX ®, DXF, 3DS, Wavefront OBJ, and e-on software Vue ® and.
The result is building design can be placed in a new city in a very short time. CityEngine can also integrate with ArcGIS.
CityEngine rendering tool, not just modeling tool. To get the animation or photo-realistic rendering from a model of the city, we can export to the rendering program design. e.g. through the import into 3ds Max.
