Although I'll admit to becoming increasingly bemused with the hype that seems to be the norm with graphics software these days, occasionally something comes along that genuinely peaks my interest.
I've never heard of it before, but cityengine (http://www.procedural.com/) really looks awesome. I wonder if this has potential applications in ve? |

I had a feeling you might like this.;) It's kind of sketchup on steroids.
It is expensive, and you would need to earn a living with it to justify the cost I suppose, but it's fun to dream. |

This image is 15 or 16 years old. I don't remember when i had do this. It was a procedural program (under the old ms-dos) from NASA. About 4 000 000 buildings. Impossible to do that on a classic modeler. But possible with a very old computer with less 1 mega ram and this technique. Imagine what can you do now..... |

That's pretty impressive, kind of like high-end greebles. Maybe you could get caligari to turn this into a plug-in for ts.:) |

"In this image there is about 2,333 billions of polygons. And render time for this resolution is only 2h on Pentium D 3,0. Memory usage was about 700-800 MB."
Now the real question is.. Imagine what we can do with this :rolleyes: |

Yes, I think Simon mentioned that this was possible in 3delight as well. It would be a great feature. |

I remember doing research into this a while back and here's what I found:
http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/
http://www.alexmole.co.uk/pcd/
http://www.vision.ee.ethz.ch/~pmueller/wiki/CityEngine/DownloadModelsPompeii
arguably the most useful result was Citygen by Tommer Leyvand
http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~tommer/citygen/
and it seems someone's taken it to a new level
