Vitruvio

CityEngine Plugin for Unreal Engine

Vitruvio is a plugin for Unreal Engine (UE). It enables the use of CityEngine CGA rules for the generation of procedural buildings in the Unreal Editor or at runtime.

About Vitruvio

With Vitruvio, game designers or artists do not have to leave the Unreal Engine to make use of the procedural modeling power of CityEngine. The buildings stay procedural all time and artists can change the height, style and appearance of buildings easily with a parametric interface. In addition, buildings can also be generated at runtime.
As input, Vitruvio requires Rule Packages (RPK) which are authored in CityEngine. An RPK includes assets and a CGA rule file which encodes an architectural style. The download section below provides links to the several RPKs which can be used out-of-the-box in Vitruvio.

Vitruvio is free for personal, educational, and non-commercial use. Commercial use requires at least one commercial license of the latest CityEngine version installed in the organization. Redistribution or web service offerings are not allowed unless expressly permitted. Please refer to the licensing section below for more detailed licensing information.

Boston Example

Paris

This example features a small part of Paris. The building footprints are exported from CityEngine using Get Map Data. Large parts of Paris were re-styled by Haussmann which earned the nickname the "Wall-City", because of continuous balconies running from facade to facade. The latter can be generated by selecting the higher level of detail.

Notes:

  • The rules are from the Paris example of CityEngine.
  • Please make sure to install Vitruvio before running the examples.
