Procedural City Modelling

Howgill Planning utilises ESRI’s CityEngine to model large urban environments. This relatively new technique of Procedural City Modelling has until recently been only about 3D visualisations. ESRI’s CityEngine however is about more than just 3D visualisations it can create entire cities from relatively few lines of code.

We can translate your planning standards in many cases to a working rule set that can be used to create detail cities in 3D. You can use the city created based on a rule set in ArcGIS for further analysis, or use it in a workflows for rendering and/or game environments.
