Modeling Urban Environments from Geospatial Data: A Pipeline for Procedural Modeling
PCG'12: Proceedings of the The third workshop on Procedural Content Generation in GamesIn game development there is often the need to generate realistic urban environments, i.e. 3D virtual environments that replicate existing urban areas. However, modeling such spaces using traditional techniques is both too slow and too expensive. A good ...
Inverse design of urban procedural models
We propose a framework that enables adding intuitive high level control to an existing urban procedural model. In particular, we provide a mechanism to interactively edit urban models, a task which is important to stakeholders in gaming, urban planning, ...
Procedural Urban Modeling in Practice
Film and game studios can no longer meet audience demand for visual content by increasing production budgets. Instead they are turning to procedural modeling, particularly for modeling cities. The authors review procedural modeling, examine the ...
