Next-Gen Procedural City Design: Full 3D Urban Environments

Video on demand

In this workshop we explore ArcGIS CityEngine together with real-time engines and related technology to generate full immersive procedural urban environments for movies/tv/streaming, games, metaverses, urban planning, and real-time experiences. We explore applications of CityEngine’s newest procedural modelling capabilities and present workflows for efficient design and streamlined modeling of procedural worlds.
