CITYGRID® BUILDER

 
 
Logo cg builder 220

The 3D city model is particularly useful in 3D visualisations if you can fly over buildings or drive through the streets. For this purpose CityGRID® Builder creates a streaming-capable scene from the city model data. Besides smooth navigation, switchable variants, object animations, shadow simulation, and many other functions might be used, to make the visualisation really exciting. The software module CityGRID® Builder consists of the packages CityGRID® FME Builder, CityGRID® 3D Studio Builder and CityGRID® Builder Control Center. (No FME or 3D Studio knowledge is required to work with CityGRID® Builder).

PinionSystem requirements:

  • FME 
  • 3D Studio Max (optional)

ToolsFeatures:

  • CityGRID® FME Builder for the automated visualisation of large, static 3D geo data - building models, terrain models, orthophotos, point clouds.
  • CityGRID® 3D Studio Builder for visualisation of dynamic, interactive 3D geo data - animations, instance objects, camera rides.
  • Definition and cropping of project areas, integration and presentation of 3D planning models in the project area.
  • Preparation of variants, viewpoints and camera rides.
  • Preparation of animated objects, e.g. driving cars.
  • CityGRID® Builder Control Center for the preprocessing of streaming-capable scenes.
  • Structuring of large 3D projects into sub projects in order to be able to react quickly to changes in some areas.
  • Distribution online and offline on any number of computers using the CityGRID® Scout Viewer.

ToolsOptional Extension:

  • Processing and publishing of CityGRID® Scout scenes for navigation with gesture control (Microsoft Kinect).

ToolsOptional Extension:

  • Processing and publishing of CityGRID® Scout scenes for navigation with a VR glasses (Oculus Rift or HTC Vive).

ToolsOptional Extension:

  • Expansion of CityGRID® Builder for publishing scenes that are optimized for 3D visualisation in web browsers, and hosting on web servers.

ToolsOptional Extension:

  • Expansion of CityGRID® Builder for publishing scenes that are optimized for 3D visualization on mobile devices, and hosting on web servers.
  • For visualisation of published scenes on mobile devices, our free CityGRID® Scout app is available.

CITYGRID® SCOUT

 
 
Logo CityGRID Scout

CityGRID® Scout is the 3D viewer of the CityGRID® software package, which allows you to navigate through scenes that have been processed with CityGRID® Builder. CityGRID® Scout can be used locally on the computer, in the web browser or as an app on mobile devices. Mouse, game controller, gesture control (Microsoft Kinect) or VR glasses (Oculus Rift and HTC Vive) might be used for control. The CityGRID® Builder license covers a free distribution of prepared Scout projects in any number.

ToolsFeatures:

  • High-performance visualisation of large-scale 3D models.
  • Visualisation offline, in-browser (both WebGL and Java) and as an app on mobile devices.
  • Use of streaming technology for optimised data transmission.
  • Definition of viewpoints and camera rides.
  • Switching of prepared variants for the simulation of different planning states.
  • Representation of moving objects such as cars, trains or windmills.
  • Integration of web services.
  • WMTS map for navigation support.
  • Rendering of still images and video sequences.
  • Query of building IDs and attributes.
  • Measuring coordinates and distances.
  • Shadow simulation by date and time.

ToolsOptional Extension:

  • Vissim Interface: 3D visualisation of traffic simulations of the Vissim system, either in real-time connection or offline. Animated cars, trams, cyclists, pedestrians, etc. move through the 3D city model according to Vissim's simulation. Various traffic light models regulate the traffic situation.
