Esri has released CityEngine 2025.0. I guess that’s kind of interesting if you’re into procedural city generation and all that. They’ve added some new features, but honestly, it feels a bit like going through the motions. The new Street Designer is supposed to help with creating more complex road setups. Sounds like it could be useful if you’re into cities and roads, but I’m not sure how many people are really that excited about it.
You can generate cities with CityEngine, which is cool, I guess. But there’s always this underlying feeling that it’s just another update. The new features are meant to make things easier or something like that, but it’s hard to muster any real enthusiasm for it. I mean, how many times can you redesign a road before it starts to feel repetitive?
If you’re into this kind of software, maybe you’ll find something valuable in it. There’s talk about how the Street Designer might enhance your workflow or whatever. But let’s be real, it’s just another tool in a long list of tools you probably don’t need.
How many different ways do we need to generate cities? Sometimes it feels like they’re just making updates to keep the product alive, rather than really innovating. Sure, it’s nice to have options, but do we really need another way to create roads in a virtual city?
At the end of the day, CityEngine 2025.0 is here. You can check it out if you want. Just don’t expect fireworks or anything. It’s more of the same, just dressed up a little differently.
