Hi all,

City Engine: http://www.procedural.com/

Just wondering if anyone has purchased CityEngine and how did they go bring the City into Unity?

The Indy version does not export FBX but does export OBJ - will the City Engine OBJ files import into Unity? Or will Unity import 3DS files?

This is the format blurb for CityEngine Indy:

“The well-known formats OBJ, 3DS and DXF allow for basic import and export between CityEngine and 3D/CAD applications as well as VOB for e-on software’s Vue. Textures can be collected during (batch) export.”

So, let’s assume OBJ files can be used, should it be possible to load the City Engine Paris Demo, export as OBJ and import into Unity? Or will the size of the demo city be too large? Is there any way that someone with CityEngine could export the Paris Demo and make it available here is an OBJ and or FBX so we can try to import it into Unity?

Cheers

Jeff

@JeffAU - I haven’t tried City Engine, but can tell you that Unity imports .OBJ’s just fine.
