was acquired by Esri Inc and became Esri R&D Center Zurich, continually studying in the fields of computer graphics, computer vision, software engineering, finance, marketing, and business. In the summer of 2011( ), Procedural Inc. was founded and separated from ETH Zurich, the top-ranking technology university in Switzerland. CityEngine can be used within Building Information Model (BIM) workflows as well as visualizing the data of buildings in a larger urban context, enhancing its working scenario toward real construction projects. Due to this unique feature set, CityEngine has been used in academic research and built environment professions, e.g., urban planning, architecture, visualization, game development, entertainment, archeology, military and cultural heritage.
It can also use Geographic Information System (GIS) datasets due to its integration with the wider Esri/ArcGIS platform. Unlike the traditional 3D modeling methodology which uses Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools and techniques, CityEngine takes a different approach to shape generation via a rule-based system. CityEngine works with architectural object placement and arrangement in the same manner that software like VUE manages terrain, ecosystems and atmosphere mapping. Using a procedural modeling approach, it supports the creation of detailed large-scale 3D city models. 3D computer graphics, geodesign, procedural generationĪrcGIS CityEngine is a commercial three-dimensional (3D) modeling software application developed by Esri R&D Center Zurich (formerly Procedural Inc.) and specialises in the generation of 3D urban environments.
