City Engine: Getting Started Geri Miller
Overview • Topics • Introduction to CityEngine • Working with CityEngine • Building a city
What is CityEngine? • Procedurally generate 3D urban content Geometry + Attributes + Rules
What is CityEngine? • Interactive design in 3D
What is CityEngine? • Interactive design in 3D
How is 3D city content created ? (1) • Together, geometries, attributes, and procedural rules are used to create 3D urban content Geometry Rules Attributes
How is 3D city content created ? (2) • Geometries, attributes, and rules result in a procedural city modeling • Rule-based 3D cities
What is procedural modeling? • 3D model creation using rules/algorithms Iterative refinement
CityEngine and the ArcGIS system Analyze ArcGIS Design CityEngine Visualize Desktop Generate Mobile Web Share Create 2D/3D data
