Hi,

I've used City Engine on a couple of recent projects and have used the techniques of procedurally creating a city layout, drawing a layout by hand and populating within, and of importing a street layout from the OSM. I'm now faced with a task of creating a city layout with very organic forms & lines, fractals forms come to mind, and I'm wondering how this sort of layout might be best done in cityEngine. Ive seen images like the one attached and am asking if anyone here can provide more info on this style, point me to related tutorials, or give pointers on how this would be best achieved.

Also, is there a best practices to get an even MORE organic shape or flowing lines? Any info appreciated.

Thanks,

All the best
