Hi All, I have been doing my university dissertation on city generation over the last year and I need to survey what people think of these kind of tools. If you would be so kind, please can you answer the questions below >> Questions: What do you think a city generator tool is? Where do you think it is used? Have you used any kind of city generation tool before? if Yes What city generator tool do you use? How do you use this tool? Why do you use it? What are their main strengths? What are their main weaknesses? What needs to be improved? What do you expect from these tools? What features would you like them to have? I have been implementing city zoning into this script: http://jerome.le.chat.free.fr/index.php/en/city-engine/news/ city zoning: http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=184372 On a side note, if anyone wants to act as a reference and give a more complete opinion for me to include in the write up, please send me a message. Hugs all around if you can answer this for me, Thanks, Sycren

See CityEngine

Where do you think it is used?

Everywhere from presentations to traffic analysis to Hollywood.

I've moderate in-depth knowledge of the technology.


I can't really answer the rest of the questions as I'm not a regular user and whole city generation is not my passion. I am interested in geometry modeling, though.

A beta release can be found here: http://www.blendernation.com/city-zoning-modification-for-blended-cities-script/
A new release with more functionality is just around the corner..
