CityEngine 2016 has arrived. \u00a0With the CityEngine 2016 release<\/a>, we have introduced some game-changing new features that will make your 3D content creation world quite a bit easier.<\/p>\n

Build cities in minutes with \u2018Get map data\u2019 interface<\/h2>\n

We present the \u2018Get map data\u2019 feature which allows you to create smart 3D city models in just minutes. This is a game-changing feature that will cut down your time considerably.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Previously, it took several days to (1) collect the different data sources for imagery, elevation, and building footprints; (2) reproject, transform, align, and clean the source data; and (3) mash it up to create smart 3D city models. With \u2018Get map data\u2019, we have streamlined these steps down for you to just a few clicks in an easy-to-use interface.<\/p>\n

Share contents by using new 3D streaming services<\/h2>\n

You can now share CityEngine 3D content across the web. You can export 3D object layers from CityEngine as scene layer package (SPK) files. Then you can upload the SPK to ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS, where a 3D streaming service is created and hosted. Once published, the resulting 3D scene layer can then be viewed or combined with other web layers in the ArcGIS Scene Viewer.\u00a0Furthermore, these 3D scene layers can be consumed in other Esri-provided web apps such as ArcGIS Story Maps and the Web AppBuilder, as well as custom web apps developed with ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.0.<\/p>\n

Work in the cloud with the ArcGIS platform<\/h2>\n

CityEngine 2016 integrates CityEngine with the ArcGIS platform, our unique and powerful cloud solution for hosting, sharing and visualizing 3D and GIS data. Highlights for this feature include the following:<\/p>\n
