Real-Time 3D City Generation using Shape Grammars with LOD Variations
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Creating3D environments, including characters and cities, is a significantly time consuming process due to a large amount of workinvolved in designing and modelling.There have been a number of attempts to automatically generate 3D objects employing shape grammars. However it is still too early to apply the mechanism to real problems such as real-time computer games.The purpose of this research is to introduce a time efficient and cost effective method to automatically generatevarious 3D objects for real-time 3D games. This Shape grammar-based real-time City Generation (RCG) model is a conceptual model for generating 3Denvironments in real-time and can be applied to 3D gamesoranimations. The RCG system can generate even a large cityby applying fundamental principles of shape grammars to building elementsin various levels of detailin real-time. Keywords—real-time city generation, shape grammars, 3D games,3D modelling.

A Caching Approach to Real-Time Procedural Generation of Cities from GIS Data
This paper presents a method for real-time generation of detailed procedural cities. Buildings are generated as needed from real GIS data, using modern techniques that can generate realistic content and without having a huge impact on the rendering system. The system uses a client-server approach allowing multiple clients to generate any part of the city the user wishes without requiring the fu...
متن کاملProcedural Modeling as an Analytical Tool for 3D Survey in Urban Design Assessment
This paper examines procedural modeling as a tool for 3D modeling creation. Procedural modeling historically has been used for 3D visualization of natural features, but with the release of the software CityEngine in 2008, the technology can easily be adopted also in problem domains dealing with urban environments. Then, we will examine and compare two types of modeling, traditional and proc...
متن کاملThe variants of an LOD of a 3D building model and their influence on spatial analyses
The level of detail (LOD) of a 3D city model indicates the model’s grade and usability. However, there exist multiple valid variants of each LOD. As a consequence, the LOD concept is inconclusive as an instruction for the acquisition of 3D city models. For instance, the top surface of an LOD1 blockmodelmay bemodelled at the eaves of a building or at its ridge height. Such variants, which we ter...
متن کاملShape Grammars for Architectural Heritage
Shape grammars have been introduced in architectural theory some decades ago. They have been applied to architectural construction methods (e.g. Chinese traditional wooden buildings) or for analyzing the design patterns of well-known architects (e.g. Palladio, Frank Lloyd-Wright). These examples demonstrated that complex geometrical shapes could be generated by a set of replacement rules out of...
متن کاملGeneration of Multi-lod 3d City Models in Citygml with the Procedural Modelling Engine Random3dcity
The production and dissemination of semantic 3D city models is rapidly increasing benefiting a growing number of use cases. However, their availability in multiple LODs and in the CityGML format is still problematic in practice. This hinders applications and experiments where multi-LOD datasets are required as input, for instance, to determine the performance of different LODs in a spatial anal...
