How to accurately create an existing city?

Question

Greetings!

I´m an intern for a software company who has started working on a project which uses CityEngine. My task is to learn the engine from scratch and recreate an accurate map of the city the company is based in. Right now I am following the documentation provided by Esri but i was wondering if there is an additional tutorial which explains how to assign correct textures (accurate in real life) to buildings instead of randomly generating them?

I would appreciate if someone can direct me towards a tutorial series that will help my task.

Regards

Hi @anfernando,

We have some tutorials which cover realistic facade texturing:

* Tutorial 6: Basic shape grammar
* Tutorial 7: Facade modeling
* Tutorial 9: Advanced shape grammar

Additionally it is worth to look into rules used in some of our example projects:

* Example VCGA Playground
* Example Redlands Redevelopment
* Example Philadelphia
* Example Paris

All tutorials and example projects can be downloaded directly withing CityEngine. You can find the  download dialog in the help menu under Download Tutorials and Examples.
