I do appreciate the feedback. We would love to get more people using the software with a more attractive price. Maybe something we can look into soon.

Cheers,

Joseph

The pricing structure is a bit of a sticking point though. Perhaps a student or an indie license is worth thinking about as the $19,000 would put most people off…

Just a thought..

Andy

Looks like it’s a bit out of my price range! $19,000! I’m just a guy with a backyard shed/office!

Have you tried PixelActive CityScape yet? It’s a city authoring program that you may find useful. It sounds like you were running CityEngine on a Mac? PixelActive CityScape is PC only, btw.

Cheers,

Joseph (I work for PixelActive)

The support is abysmal and the software is barely capable. It crashes regularly over several versions, wait-locks routinely (spinning wheel of death), maxing out an 8GB quadcore CPU. Good idea in there, but exceptionally frustrating to use.
