"At the beginning of the project we were looking for a tool to create our city in a easy and flexible way", says Jochen Hanisch from Capture. "Several scripts and tools we evaluated could not convince us, because they focused on buildings, whereas we needed a tool that embeds the creation of the city's street network as well. Once we got to know Procedural's CityEngine, we quickly found out that this tool will fulfill all our requirements."

Parts of the city were extracted and used for the setup of specific shots. Specific buildings were exchanged or refined, following the progress of the production.
“Due to the short production period of only 5 weeks we couldn't waste time on manually modeling the many buildings”. Using the CityEngine's rule-based modeling, an arbitrary number of buildings were created automatically from a set of rules describing building types. “Without the CityEngine this project would have been way more costly in terms of time. And another big plus was the great support from the Procedural support team. Where else do you get production-specific support?”
