E-on software has released LumenRT GeoDesign, an add-on to connect its real-time visualisation tool LumenRT to ESRI’s procedural city-generation software, CityEngine.
Seamlessly integrated into ESRI CityEngine (the leading solution for City Planning and Urban Design), LumenRT GeoDesign adds rich natural elements including wind-blown plants and trees, moving vehicles, animated people, lights, water, and skies directly to CityEngine scenes. Then, with a single command, the entire scene is transformed into an immersive, interactive LiveCube™ allowing clients, customers, contractors, and colleagues to explore designs in vivid photorealistic 3D.
LumenRT GeoDesign is shipping now for Windows and Mac OS X, price $195. Parent product LumenRT 4 Studio also integrates with SketchUp, Revit and MicroStation out of the box.
