Esri CityEngine是三维城市建模的首选软件，应用于数字城市、城市规划、轨道交通、电力、管线、建筑、国防、仿真、游戏开发和电影制作等领域。
Esri CityEngine可以利用二维数据快速创建三维场景，并能高效的进行规划设计。
而且对ArcGIS的完美支持，使很多已有的基础GIS数据不需转换即可迅速实现三维建模，减少了系统再投资的成本，也缩短了三维GIS系统的建设周期。
Esri CityEngine 2019.0.5403 | 1.6 GbEsri 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 notesCityEngine 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.
CityEnginegenerates 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.
