Hi ! Easy : Open the Collada in a text editor, search-and-replace 'texture_low_res.img' with 'texture_high_res.img'. Save. Done. 🙂 ... View more

Hi ! I'd do this with the 'Dynamic City Layouts' system. [ATTACH=CONFIG]27749[/ATTACH] With thin streets (  maybe 2 meters wide ), and sidewalks set to 0 meters. Check out tutorial videos 1 & 2 how to do this : http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/64843-CityEngine-Collection-RESOURCES-FAQ-HELP Does that help ? m. ... View more

your approach should work. haha, that's funny. You need to press 'return' to preform the move. weird, I know. once you have moved the data ( or even before ), you need to delete ALL the other layers which have something near the cartesian origin (XYZ = 0). E.g. that terrain image. Ok ? m. ... View more

Hi Tadeo, Welcome to the Forum ! Please read this first : http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/54072-textures-raster-files-concepts-in-CityEngine-ArcGIS Let me know if this does not resolve your issues ! Matt ... View more

ah yeah, that setting's only available in a few formats. 1] what version of CityEngine do you have ? 2] can you export the model with obj and see if you get the same result ? 3] can you somewhat test if there's a unit setting in the .3ds file ? (I'm not a MAX user really) lemme know.. matt ... View more

Hi, Yes, that should work. Not sure why you get that error. 1] What's the SCS ? 2] Can it be that even though they're the same SCS, one of the scenes has some elements at the cartesian origin ? 3] Can you create copies of the scene file, delete out all layers except 1 layer consecutively, then try importing 'layer cej by layer cej' ? Lemme know. matt ... View more

Hi, Can you add some reference images of what you want to reach ? I may give you some better pointers then. Lemme know. matt ... View more

hmm. how many shapes to you have, on which you create buildings ? a const() value is evaluated exactly once PER SHAPE. so if all your buildings are constructed on the same shape, all will get the same textures. (there's ways around this too) lemme know. (maybe post a screenshot too ) m. ... View more

Hi, maybe they all share the same 'seed' value. Check the shape's info tab in the Inspector. or simple Shapes > Reset Seed. let me know if this helps. ( note : if the shapes share the same seed, they may all get the same 'random value', thus the same texture ) ok ? ... View more

Hi, the shape creation tool was changed completely from 2011 to 2012. it's working enirely different. check tutorial 14 ( 3 parts ) : http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/64843-CityEngine-Collection-RESOURCES-FAQ-HELP For the upcoming CityEngine 2013, the tool has been improved a LOT, to make it much more stable towards producing correct geometries. ok ? m. ...

hi, CityEngine was not designed to reconstruct 'as is' scenarios as closely as possible. So in any way, if you need to do this, use the shape modeling tools. Nevertheless, yes, you can also make a shapeL() on top of the gound floor, just to create the roof. For this, do something like : [ Code incomplete ] attr angle = 360 attr mirrorX = False attr mirrorZ = False Lot -->     extrude(5)     comp(f) {         alignScopeToAxes(y)         mirrorScope(mirrorX, False, mirrorZ)         rotateScope(0,angle,0)         shapeL(..)         | side : Facade.         } ok ? ...

Hi, did you check the global scale settings in the exporter details ? lemme know. m. ... View more

Hi, usually setupProjection() and projectUV() go right after each other, because projectUV() 'bakes' the UVs into the geometry based on the last projection. Scaling existing UVs in between will show no effect. once UVs are projected, you can rotate , translate, tile them, .. tileUV() takes metric values, so e.g. '~2' means tile the texture approximately each 2 meters. Ok so far ? m. ... View more

Hi, based on this:http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-9400-gt/specifications your card has OpenGL 2.1. can it be that you have a second graphics card ( onboard ), which is activated ?
