Hi, Yes, you can use CityEngine models in CAVE. You have to go via FXB or Collada files. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ matthias buehler || ceo & co-founder || msc. arch. eth zurich ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ vrbn AG – official esri partner || www.vrbn.io || winterthurerstrasse 53 || 8610 uster || switzerland +41 78 930 04 07 || [email protected] || @vrbnio @mattb3d ...

No, CityEngine can't do these calculations currently. ... View more

This type of analysis was just added to CityEngine with the latest release (2 weeks ago). I'd say you'll be the one of the first people to push a project with this functionality!  Matt ... View more

Hi, Typically, people run this type of analysis in ArcGIS Desktop, via the GP Tools... With the new CE functionality you can quantitatively analyze this, but I suppose you need precise values. --> Check the 3D Analyst extention for ArcGIS.

Hi, For showing city models from CityEngine in VR, you need to export. CityEngine is a modelling application. Look into Unity or Unreal... Ok? matt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ matthias buehler || ceo & co-founder || msc. arch. eth zurich ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ vrbn AG – official esri partner || www.vrbn.io || winterthurerstrasse 53 || 8610 uster || switzerland +41 78 930 04 07 || [email protected] || @vrbnio @mattb3d ...

Hi, how would you need to show the temperatures precisely? btw. I'd use an attribute and link it to the color... there's also color ramps you can use in CGA for mapping colors in a value range. matt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ matthias buehler || ceo & co-founder || msc. arch. eth zurich ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ vrbn AG – official esri partner || www.vrbn.io || winterthurerstrasse 53 || 8610 uster || switzerland +41 78 930 04 07 || [email protected] || @vrbnio @mattb3d ...

Hi Mike, We may be able to help you on the CityEngine side, to help developing such rules. www.vrbn.io Have a great day! matt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ matthias buehler || ceo & co-founder || msc. arch. eth zurich ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ vrbn AG – official esri partner || www.vrbn.io || winterthurerstrasse 53 || 8610 uster || switzerland +41 78 930 04 07 || [email protected] || @vrbnio @mattb3d ...

Hi, wow, this video is still being watched .. seems I did something right! re your last question: yes, that's exactly correct. thing is: shape + rule ==> model this is a one way street: CGA can NOT modify the initial shape or it's initial attribution. --> to change the attribution of the shape based on metric coming from the model, the only way is using the python script based exporter .. so I think you're on the right track. cheers, matt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ matthias buehler || ceo & founder || dipl. arch. eth zurich ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ vrbn AG – official esri partner || www.vrbn.io || winterthurerstrasse 53 || 8610 uster || switzerland +41 78 930 04 07 || [email protected] || @vrbnio @mattb3d ...

hey, well, the overall strategy you chose seems feasible, but of course using Python makes things a lot more complex... I'm not sure what you precisely need to reach, but can't you add further CGA attrs for more control deeper down in CGA? Greets, matt ... View more

Hi Brendan, For this, you'd have to write pretty complex CGA code to encode all the design functionality you need in an efficient manner. The 'Dynamic City Layouts' toolset is quite limited in this regard. Maybe we can help with more advanced CGA code.

yep, that's exactly the way to do it. cheers! matt ... View more

hi .. NaN values are most probably the issue. Fill in the missing pixel values. CE does not create polygons there. ... View more

hi guys .. what I did is I just drew a big rectangular shape over the whole terrain, then wrote a rule that splits x*z* into squares. I then converted the squares model to a shapes, divided it up into separate shapes for each square and projected those square shapes down onto the terrain. I had to repeat this a couple of times until I was happy with the square size. ... View more
