Description

CityEngine is a cutting-edge 3D modeling application that enables the rapid creation of expansive, interactive urban landscapes more efficiently than conventional modeling methods. The cities you design with CityEngine can reflect actual geographical information system (GIS) data or represent an imaginative urban setting from any time period. Instead of constructing each building separately, you can generate a large-scale city model in one go. CityEngine facilitates quick modifications to architectural styles or various aspects of your city, allowing you to explore numerous design options effortlessly. Additionally, you can produce 3D models to illustrate proposed modifications and alternative designs effectively. Your designs can be guided by 3D models that reflect land use regulations and other relevant conditions. You can easily present various design options to your team or stakeholders, soliciting valuable feedback. CityEngine seamlessly fits into your existing workflow, enabling you to incorporate key buildings or other assets to create a comprehensive 3D environment around them. You can also export your work back into high-end visualization tools or game engines for further refinement and presentation. This powerful software not only enhances creativity but also streamlines collaboration among project participants.

Description

FORUM8's VR-Design Studio software is utilized by numerous research institutions, city planners, transportation agencies, and automotive manufacturers across the globe to develop highly immersive and lifelike representations of built environments. This interactive 3D VR simulation and modeling application allows users to manipulate three-dimensional spaces dynamically, conduct an unlimited number of driving simulation experiments, import and modify CAD files, construct and texture models, and automatically generate roads, tunnels, and bridges, facilitating the creation of various design options in real-time, whether online or offline. The finished models empower users to visualize and engage with the virtual environments they have built, which aids in assessing the potential environmental consequences of proposed projects, including their effects on pedestrian and vehicle traffic patterns. This collaborative approach enhances stakeholder engagement throughout the planning process, ensuring that diverse perspectives are considered. Ultimately, VR-Design Studio serves as a vital tool for fostering innovation and improving decision-making in urban development projects.
