Incorrect file paths in CityEngine tutorials

PhillipRobbins — Wed, 14 Sep 2016 17:02:19 GMT

The file paths described in the tutorials online do not match the file directories that are downloaded from the help>'Download Tutorials and Examples' tab in CityEngine Advanced 2016.0

I've only checked this for Tutorial 6, but i expect that the problem exists in other tutorials...

EX:

On the site the path is given as:

// textures
frontdoor_tex = "facade/shopdoor.tif"
wall_tex = "facade/brickwall.jpg"
dirt_tex = "facade/dirtmap.15.tif"
roof_tex = "roof/roof.tif"

but the correct paths from the downloaded assets are:

frontdoor_tex = "facades/textures/shopdoor.tif"
wall_tex = "facades/textures/brickwall.jpg"
dirt_tex = "facades/textures/dirtmap.15.tif"
roof_tex = "roofs/roof.tif"

Thanks Thomas, just FYI... there are actually several errors throughout the tutorial that I've come across. If you guys have an intern or someone with some time on their hands I think it would be a good idea to go through the tutorials from start to finish in order to find the mistakes.

But otherwise, i found the tutorials very well made. Thanks for your help.
