Hi,
I have a quick and very simply question. Has anyone every used Unreal Engine and imported the Unreal Engine scene into CityEngine/ArcGIS Pro. I am just curious because I think this would definitely enhance the overall aesthetics of the scenes if it can be done, but if it can't then I will see if there is a way or post this as an idea.
Thanks,
Robert
Thanks Stefan. What I was thinking is if I could render the visuals in such a way that I could apply the textures like a symbology and bring it back into CityEngine or ArcPro. I know I can apply symbologies in such a way that the aesthetics would still be kept but I wasn't sure to what degree. So I was just wondering if this was possible or not. I figured I couldn't import from Unreal Engine directly but I thought I could import the textured layer as a symbology. I will keep researching to see if this is possible.
Thanks,
Robert
Hi Robert, if it comes to CityEngine, the typical workflow is to create a CityEngine scene and then use the Unreal Engine / datasmith exporter to export the models to Unreal Engine. However, if I understand correctly you want to go Unreal Engine to CityEngine (or ArcGIS)? This is not a workflow that we explored, since scenes Unreal Engine are not usually to be exported in general (you can export FBX, but you'll loose most of the visual / aesthetic features you have in UE with the export).
Here's a link to the CityEngine to Unreal Engine workflow: https://community.esri.com/docs/DOC-13169
Best,
Stefan
