Image Service as Terrain layer

Question

Dear all,

I am a beginner with City Engine, and I am generating demo city.

I would like to build the city over the terrain. Unfortunately, I don´t have any terrain image file. On the other hand, I have a ArcGIS Server cached LERC Image Service, which cna be used in Portal/AGOL/PRO as a terrain layer. But I was not able to add this service as a terrain layer.

Is it supported? If not is there a plan to support Image terrain layers?

Thank you.

Regards,

Vladimir

Dear Devin Lavigne‌,

thank you for help. But this seems to be working just with default Esri Terrain - not with custom terrain service from your ArcGIS Server, and also it seem, that it support the EPSG:3857 only.

When the scene is in another coordinate system - I am getting an error.

Have you seen any similar issues?

Regards,

Vladimir

If you have an ArcGIS Online account you "Get Map Data" it will bring a terrain image/heightmap with it.  If you have the images you can also do this manually. Its a little more complicated, but you can bring in your own image files, including orthos and heightmaps.
