1. URBAN SIMULATION Jon Zucker – MultiGen-Paradigm Providers of the only tools you’ll need to visualize your world in Realtime 3D

2. What is Realtime 3D?  Fully interactive – unrestricted movement in a 3D Scene  Draw eyepoint smoothly…..15-30 frames per second  Achieve high realism - “Photo realistic”  OpenFlight file format.flt

3. Urban Simulation Applications Design Consensus Building Homeland Security/Public Safety Historical Projects Military mission planning Facilities management Marketing/Promotion

4. Who uses urban simulation? Urban Planners/Designers Visualization services firms Architects Civil Engineers Real Estate Developers Historians Military

5. Benefits... viewer  Communicate effectively: Fully interactive presentation (Let the viewer tell you where to go, not the computer!)  Shorten the design process: Engage the project stakeholders early in design review.  Build Consensus: Switch between numerous design alternatives  USE A PC!

6. Animation vs. Realtime 3D  Not realtime  Render at minutes/hours per frame  No interactivity!

7. more on animation... Bill Jepson – UCLA Urban Simulation Team Animation forces you to create the presentation after all of the critical design decisions have been made….. Realtime 3D gives you the flexibility to visualize as you plan…..
