Modeling Software creates 3D city models.June 4, 2009 -
Designed to model complex urban environments, CityEngine 2009 features interactive editing capabilities. Editing footprint of building automatically adjusts corresponding 3D model, allowing for intuitive manipulation of detailed building geometries. Program also includes support for geospatial data, reporting functionality, and 3D export functionalities, such as 3ds Max, FBX, Collada, and Massive Software. Additional city examples are available for out-of-the-box modeling.
