Building 3D Cities Using Esri CityEngine
Strictly by pre-registration only
What is this course about?
Esri CityEngine uses a rule-based approach to help you efficiently produce highly realistic 3D models. This course introduces the CityEngine procedural modeling workflow and best practices to create compelling 3D cities that can be used to visualize urban landscapes, explore impacts of proposed development, generate virtual city simulations, and support geodesign projects.
This course is for: GIS analysts, specialists, and others who manage or conduct GIS analysis projects.
