Buildings and fascades done with City Engine

Yes, textured and rendered in Vue.
I just color the buildings in CE and texture in Vue. It is much easier.

Something different now...
Dortmund downtown, based on the OSM data from openstreetmap.org. The data is quite messy, so I had to clean up and add a few buildings and streets. To get a bit of a "Sim City" feeling, I've used similar colours.

Green = Residentials
Blue = Commercial
Yellow = Office
Brown = Industry
Orange = POI

Very cool Katto! This is the sort of thing that I'm working on at the moment too!

Thanks Ravi!
It will be interesting to see how many details can be added until the PC slows down. Importing the final file to Vue will be the next adventure

I'm quite curious about your current project...

Cheers, I found that vue slowed my quad core to a crawl (not on rendering but in repositioning the CE models). I'm working on finding a way of using CE to do maps for a rambling (like a country walking) association (hence the map you helped me with on the CE boards), but I have been side tracked by other stuff! I'll post something up here when I get back to it!

Here are some pictures of buildings I've done recently with City Engine. The first two pictures are buildings you can find in middle to southern Germany. The third one is a kind of Steampunk building. For a render I will add some pipe systems, which I'll have to model first. A project for the near future, lol. The last one is an early WIP of mid-level residentials you will find in the Ruhr Area in the outskirts. The focus is on creating lot variations with gardens, garages etc. I really get a nostalgic Sim City feeling with this project

Enjoy,
Katto
