Using the CityEngine SDK, a number of open source plugins and APIs have been built, allowing to integrate CityEngine technology into other tools. The CityEngine SDK can be used for the development of: 1. Custom importers and exporters for CityEngine. This means the SDK enables you to develop CityEngine plugins to read or write additional 3D and image formats or your own proprietary 3D data format. A simple use case example is 3D printing where the STL geometry format is often needed. STL support is not provided out-of-the-box in CityEngine, but you can develop your own STL exporter as described below. 2. 3D apps which need a procedural geometry engine. The core of CityEngine is its unique geometry generation engine, called Procedural Runtime (PRT). PRT takes as input an initial geometry and then applies a given rule package (= CGA rules authored in CityEngine) to generate more detailed 3D geometry as output. For example, PRT can generate - based on given rules - a 3D model of a building out of a parcel polygon. With the SDK you can integrate PRT in your own 3D applications taking full advantage of the procedural geometry generation without running CityEngine. An interesting use case example is ArcGIS CityEngine for Houdini, a plugin for SideFX’s Houdini software. CityEngine for Houdini includes PRT and therefore extends Houdin","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/Esri","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/Esri/cityengine-sdk/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
