Esri CityEngine是三維城市建模的首選軟件,應用於數字城市、城市規劃、軌道交通、電力、管線、建築、國防、仿真、遊戲開發和電影製作等領域。
Esri CityEngine可以利用二維數據快速創建三維場景,並能高效的進行規劃設計。而且對ArcGIS的完美支持,使很多已有的基礎GIS數據不需轉換即可迅速實現三維建模,減少了系統再投資的成本,也縮短了三維GIS系統的建設週期。
Esri CityEngine 2019.0.5403 |
Esri has released CityEngine 2019.0, the latest version of the procedural 3D city-generation software, overhauling the interactive design tools and extending its CGA procedural modelling language.
Esri CityEngine 2019 - Release notes
CityEngine 2019.0 makes it possible to export data in glTF format, improves export to Unreal Studio, adds support for Oculus Rift headsets in VR output, and revamps the Houdini and Maya plugins. In addition, the old Basic edition of the software has been discontinued.
CityEngine 2019.0 also updates the software’s drawing and transformation tools, making “numerous performance improvements”, and improving workflow when drawing 2D arcs, or drawing polygons on terrain. There is also a new Subtract Boolean tool for 2D shapes.
CGA, the software’s procedural modelling language, gets a range of new operations, including rectify, for aligning buildings at strict 90-degree angles, and resetGeometry, which can be used to repeatedly generate geometry from a single starting shape. You can find a full list of new CGA operations here.
In addition, CGA can now be used to read in data from text formats such as CSV files, and gains new material attributes to support PBR workflows.
In related news, CityEngine can also now import or export in the increasingly popular glTF format for exchanging data for real-time 3D applications, including the PBR material attributes of glTF 2.0.
The Unreal Studio exporter has also been updated to support PBR materials, along with supporting native Unreal landscapes for terrain elevation data, and workflows that require metadata on meshes.
Of the DCC integrations, Palladio, the open-source Houdini plugin, gets support for Houdini Digital Assets, meaning that CityEngine rules can be embedded in procedural assets in HDA format. The software also now integrates with ArcGIS Urban, Esri’s upcoming web-based urban planning system.
Other changes include support for Oculus Rift headsets when exporting CityEngine scenes as VR experiences via Unreal Studio, along with a new integrated tool to batch replace actors and vegetation.
CityEngine generates detailed city models from simple procedural rules, importing data in standard file formats like OBJ and DXF, and exporting in formats including FBX and Alembic.
Although aimed at architects and urban planners – it integrates with ESRI’s ArcGIS platform – the software is also designed for entertainment, and comes with connections to DCC tools and game engines.
In recent years, it has been used on some major movies: Scanline VFX used it for city-destruction shots in Independence Day: Resurgence, and Walt Disney Animation Studios used it on Zootopia.
