CE not responding

Hi there,

After several weeks working on an urban project,suddenly ,yesterday CE refuses to "respond" when opening the program , rather ,it opens stuck on the previous scene I'm working on , when I want to close it ( file-> close) the workspace turns transparent and on the top left of the main windows I have : CityEngine Basic 2012-1 new_ scene1.cej (not responding), in the operations information space in the right bottom I have "busy" , free memory ,green light , 1483 (MB) 39(GB). It occured after adding a static model (47MB or so ) transforming it into a shape and trying to cleanup the shapes ( the model is rather complex).
Someone had this problem ?
My system : OS Win7 64bits
64GB ram
AMD Opteron64 (4184) processors x2 2.80 GHz
Nvidia Quadro FX5800 graphic card ( 4GHz)
What could be the solution ?

Invalid Web Scene (3ws) data

Good morning all,

I'm having an issue exporting a particular scene. It contains a terrain with a DSM derived from a point cloud and image captured by a drone. I have never seen this error before and have tried googling the exact phrase, but nothing shows up.

Here's a screenshot of the error log I receive upon attempting to open the webscene locally from within CE. The error just keeps repeating off the page. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

WebScene with "original" size texture fails to load

$

0
Hey,

I´m trying to create a webscene of a rather large geographic area and anything less than "original size" for the satellitephoto which works as the terrain texture is too low quality. However when I try to open a webscene created with the original size texture the scene fails to load and gives me this instead:

46ms: GL detect: WebGL 1.0 (OpenGL ES 2.0 Chromium) More

14876ms: Invalid Web Scene data clarinet parser error in /Sibbesborg/models/webscene/sibbe_hires.3ws: Error: Malformed object key should start with " Line: 296825 Column: 1 Char: ,


Any idea whats wrong and how to fix it? The size of the WebScene itself seems reasonable so I dont think thats an issue. Just it seems to get corrupted somehow.

I can open the file geodatabase in ArcGIS 10.1, but when I try to import the geodatabase in CityEngine 2012, the error says that the release of the Geodatabase is invalid or out of date. How can I solve this problem or is there an other way to import the 3D models?

I got a problem to export city engine web scene to 3ws file very slow. It took nearly 2 hours still running. I had to kill the process. Does anyone know what cause this problem? My machine is 64 bit Window 7 OS with i7 and 8 gb ram.

Thanks.

Export taking very long time

$

I've just upgraded to a fully licenced version of CE 2012 (having previously been using 2011 then a trial version of 2012) and I am trying to export from this fully licenced version for the first time.

The scene is quite simple and it exported with satisfactory haste in previous versions. I have tried to export a few times, this morning I have been here 45mins and it still says "operation in progress..." and I am still waiting. CPU Usage is piddling along at 5%, I have closed other programs and rebooted and I am still waiting.

Is there anything I can try to speed this up?
All assets are on my local drive however the licence file is on a network server - does CE look at the licence when exporting? Other aspects of the program seem to run normally.

Webscene and Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) = fail

Hi all,

I downloaded IE11 but when I load a CE webscene the webviewer initializes but the scene won't display. I'm running it in Windows 7 64bit. A known issue? I was glad that IE11 finally supported WebGL, but now I'm disappointed again.

Could anyone tell Jack Dangermond about this?

I already contacted Steve Ballmer (Microsoft) to report this issue.

Exported Models are extremely dark or transparent

Hi,

I am exporting CityEngine models to .obj files and then loading them into blender, then exporting from blender into Orge Scene/Mesh files to load into a simulator program.

I am having these strange results of very very dark models, (the scene light isn't exported?), and transparent roads.

Here are 2 screenshots that demonstrate the model when it is loaded into the simulator.

SHP file import problem

I am trying to import a SHP file created from Autocad via FME. It's in the same coordinate system as the city engine scene, but it is a "custom" coordinate systme according to city engine (TURK-35N). Anyway, the shapefile opens fine in ArcGIS, and even if I convert it to fileGDB, city engne won't import it. no error or anything, just nothing. I check the log and it says the follow after i attempt the import:

Code:

eclipse.buildId=unknown
java.version=1.6.0_32
java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86_64, WS=win32, NL=en_US
Command-line arguments:  -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86_64 -data @noDefault

export video/movie of a webscene

Hi all,

I want to record a video of a webscene. Any ideas how to do this? And have some director options, like setting certain views and flightpads? (I know you can do this with the favorite viewports, but maybe there are some advanced techniques). And what program can you use to export the video? Is quicktime recommended?

Yours truly,
Patrick Spielberg

Export FBX DirtTexture Problem!!!

$

Hi all!!
I am pleased to join to the comunity.

I have a question about exporting dirty textures:
I was working in a detailed cga, and I aplied a texture tiled in channel 0, & a relative '1 '1 dirty chanel en channel 2.This is the code:

setupProjection(0, scope.xy, 3,3) set(material.colormap,WallMedianeraTexture ) projectUV(0)
setupProjection(2, scope.xy, '1,'1) set(material.dirtmap,getWallDirtTexture) projectUV(2)

The 2 texture format are png, but i think this its irrelevant...

In cityengine all looks fine. It is how i want the model.
My problem begins when I want to export to other programs with FBX. The dirtmap was transformed in the same tiles of tiled colormap, & no to all facade.
Its a problem of internal FBX?? In collada (the other supported export format for dirtmaps) its the same thing....And other export format dont support dirtytextures I readed
I work whit 3dMax, but I try to import to other programs (Artlantis, Lumion, Unity...) & its the same

Other fast question:
why sometimes, some textures dont export adequately in the shapes model? (Ej: in a whindow texture apearsa a wall texture, cause the exporter dont collect the texture)
It colud be the embed textures opcion in FBX exported? Because when I uncheck this, it seems all is fine
any idea?

sorry of my english ;)

Trying to export a web scene but "Sing in..." is greyed out, and clicking on "share" in the "Share as" dialogue box does nothing.
It's odd because this worked yesterday.
Tried rebooting, no dice.

Puzzled.

Any suggestions?
(ps and yes, internet works, since I am posting this)

SHP file with Holes

After importing a SHP file, I've noticed that it doesn't support "negative" polygons that cut holes into polygons. Looking at the Help section, it says that "they are not supported yet." Is there a timeline for when this will be supported? Also, are there workarounds to at least create void geometry as part of CGA? Thanks.

Instructions when updating from CE2012 3ws to CE2013 3ws

$
0
0
Follow these instructions in case you plan to update 3ws items on ArcGIS online.

Scenario:
  • ArcGIS Online item that contains a 3ws, created with CE 2012
  • update item with a new 3ws, created with CE 2013 (based off the same CityEngine scene)


Steps required:
  1. open the existing 3ws with CityEngine Web Viewer on ArcGIS Online
  2. ensure you are signed in as the item owner, or sign in within the application
  3. reload the application, and look into Info pane -> Loading details...
  4. verify the entry 3ws1_DisplayOffset : appears in this list
  5. -> Item is ready to be updated with CE 2013 version of 3ws.


Details:
For old 3ws, CityEngine Web Viewer requires internal displayOffset to correctly place GeoComments.
If displayOffset is not present or incorrect, GeoComments might be placed incorrect.
The steps above store the old displayOffset on the ArcGIS Online item, and therefore ensures GeoComments created on an old 3ws transferred correctly to a new 3ws.

After installing 2013.1, I find that none of the projects I created back in 2012.1 export to webscene anymore. I get the following error: "The batch export completed but at least one error occurred. See stack for detailed error information."

Anyone know what's going on here?

Terrain Image import problem

Hi All,

Having some trouble with terrain images. I have a DEM in arcGIS 10.2 that I made in civil 3d. I've exported that layer to a 16bit tiff file uncompressed, but it seems when it is read into CityEngine 2012.1 it seems like it is converted to 8bit, and most of the elevation data is lost. It's either 1, or 0....which makes a crazy terrain. I also notice that the image is inverse. It says in the help file that 16bit images are supported. Am I doing something wrong? I've attached some images so you can see what I am talking about
How it looks in arcGIS:

How it looks in CityEngine 2012.1:
