Hallo zusammen,
Das ist eigentlich recht interessant..."Procedural" ist der Name einer Schweizer Softwarefirma die Städtesimulatoren herstellt. Die so erzeugten Städte können dann an verschiedene 3D-Applikationen zum Rendern und Berechnen verschiedener Parameter exportiert werden. Die Vollversion ist teuer und für Architekten und Städteplaner gedacht, mit eigener Programmiersprache und so weiter.
Die haben sich nun offenbar mit E-on software zusammengetan und einen Exporter für Vue geschrieben. Das Angebot bei Cornucopia ist eine abgespeckte Version des Simulators für grafische Zwecke.
