Facebook Live

For the first time, Esri CityEngine is going live on Facebook. There are three opportunities lined up to join in on the fun, and chat virtually with CityEngine experts. Tune in on Facebook:

Tuesday, July 11th @ 8am PST with Eric Wittner, Product Manager for CityEngine at Esri. Eric will be giving a brief talk on what’s new in CityEngine, followed by an interactive Q&A with those who tune in!

Wednesday July 12th @ 8am PST with Devin Lavigne, Principal/Cofounder of Houseal Lavigne Associates, an urban planning and community development consulting firm in Chicago. He is one of the profession’s top graphics professionals and is recognized for his ability to communicate plans, planning concepts, and incorporating development visualizations into the planning process. During the Facebook Live session, Devin will dive into his work with CityEngine in the planning space. You may remember Devin from our 3D Planning with SketchUp and CityEngine webinar.

Thursday, July 13th @ 8am PST with Matthias Buehler, founder of vrbn: a multidisciplinary consultancy and service provider, specializing in high-end procedural urban 3D environment modelling and visualization. Matt will provide a unique perspective into the entertainment side of CityEngine. Last year, Matt gave us great insight into his work on the movie Independence Day: Resurgence in this webinar from VES.

Harnessing the power of 3D has never been easier. Take advantage of 3D as a core GIS capability, allowing anyone to access 3D content and tools anywhere and in any environment. Use 3D GIS to deliver useful content and capabilities to anyone who needs them, in the way that’s best suited to their work. We hope you’ll stop by the 3D GIS Showcase to experience the latest and greatest – don’t be a stranger!
