Industries

Video Game

The founders of PixelActive come from the video game industry and have experience shipping many city based titles on multiple platforms. This experience has allowed PixelActive to create the best city modeling tool available, realized in CityScape.

Key features in CityScape for game development studios include:

  • A Workflow Focused on Prototyping and Iterating
  • Procedurally Generated Traffic Data for Roads
  • The Ability to Import Your Own 3D Models
  • Export to Industry Standard Formats Such as Collada, FBX, and Gamebryo
  • Add Game or Meta Data to Environments and Props for AI paths and Other Additional Logic
  • Established Track Record of Active Clients
  • LOD, Clustering, and Optimizations for Real-Time Rendering at Optimal Performance

Simulation

The exchange of technology between the video game and simulation industries has a long tradition of success. As companies embrace simulation to improve efficiency while reducing costs, content creation for geospecific environments will continue to be a challenge for developers. CityScape's design is well-suited for simulation environment development and has several features that uniquely benefit the simulation industry.

Key features for the simulation developers include:

  • Import GIS, OpenFlight 16.3 Data Directly
  • Export OpenFlight 16.3 Data Directly
  • Real-Time Attributes
  • Batch Processing of Large Terrains from GIS Data

Navigation

While 2D realization for navigation and mapping is largely solved, the ability to realize geospecific data in 3D is seen as the next iteration. The ability to translate large amounts of data into a 3D environment autonomously is a key ability that CityScape embodies. PixelActive's experience in developing for embedded systems with resource constraints adds value to both data providers and consumer electronic manufacturers.

Key features for the navigation industry include:

  • Import GIS, Shape files with Data Attributes
  • Real-Time Models Efficiently use Geometry for Desktop and Portable Platforms
  • Batch Processing of Large Terrains from GIS Data
  • Real-Time Traffic Simulation

Urban Planning

One of the key aspects to winning contracts for urban planners is the visualization of their proposal. Realistic and accurate imagery can be the difference between a lucrative contract and months of wasted work. CityScape's ability to import GIS data allows urban planners to visualize real world locations in 3D with just a few clicks. Using Active Adjustment features, urban planners can easily make changes to scenes and buildings in real-time for quick turnaround to clients. This ensures frequent communication with the clients leading to a closer relationship.

Key features for urban planners include:

  • Fast Design Iterations
  • Import GIS, Shape files with Data Attributes
  • Visualizing Scenes with Fully Controllable Weather and Real-Time Traffic
  • Scheduling Attribution
