CityEngine and 3D ArcGIS
CityEngine and 3D ArcGIS Brady Hoak Tom Oaks
Demo Notes
•
The entire presentation was a demo. These slides are screenshots of various points in the demo.
•
The first demo showed steps to create a basic 3D webscene with 2D data. This workflow is one workflow of many from the upcoming 3D City Model.
•
The 3D City Model combines a 3D geodatabase schema, GP models to create and maintain data, and CityEngine .cga scripts to create a 3D city using a standardized template in a repeatable workflow.
•
The second demo was showing highlights of the CityEngine scene from the plenary presentation.
Demo 1 NASA Facility
First Gather Data
•
Imagery
•
Building Footprints
•
LIDAR data
•
DTM
•
Hand Built Models
•
Custom Textures
Decide on AOI and Clip Imagery
Use a GP model to Place the Building Footprints into Z space, and a second GP model to alter the DSM to be flat around the building perimeter
Obtain Digital Surface Terrain Model Raster (DSM) from Lidar – Here is the LIDAR data first return points LAS Dataset in ArcScene
The Resulting Raster DSM
Calculate Building Heights and Levels Above Ground from nDSM
Add Imagery and DTM to CityEngine
Import Buildings from File Geodatabase to CityEngine
Assign Rule File – “Building Facades from FootPrints”
What Does this Rule File Do?
Reads in .jpg Textures
Extrudes the Footprint based on Height
Looks at Number of Floors and Height Above Groupd and Assigns and Mathmatically Scales a Texture
.. Results in Extruded Textured Buildings to Visualize Campus
Optionally Replace Key ‘Signature’ Buildings with Hand Built Static Models to Augment the Scene – LARC #1244
Leverage Existing Investment In 3D Custom Models – LARC #1244
Rotate Model to Position
Also had to scale it a bit too.
A Wind Tunnel ‘Signature’ Building in our Area of Interest replaces our procedurally built model – LARC #1236
Share as WebScene with ArcGIS Online
