New
Version Makes Working with Complex 3D Urban Environments Easier
Than Ever Before.
Procedural
Inc. introduced the CityEngine 2009, the latest version of its
out-of-the-box city creation solution featuring unique procedural
modeling techniques and novel interactive editing capabilities.
The software was awarded Killer Technology 2009 by the 3D World
magazine and is used by high-profile companies such as Foster+Partners,
Rockstar North, Volition, NAVTEQ, Microsoft, IBM, etc. and top
universities like MIT, Stanford, Brown or Max Plank.
Procedural
Inc., an innovative software company located in Zurich, Switzerland,
is creator of the world’s foremost procedural modeling technology.
With the CityEngine, Procedural Inc.’s graphics experts
have developed a radically different 3D application that allows
professional users in entertainment, architecture and urban planning
to efficiently create 3D city models.
“We
are very happy to release the CityEngine 2009.” says Pascal
Mueller, CEO Procedural Inc. “And with the new interactive
editing capabilities, the modeling of complex urban environments
is easier than ever before. For example, editing the footprint
of a building automatically adjusts the corresponding 3D model
– allowing for intuitive manipulation of highly detailed
building geometries.”
