This is very much a work in progress post, but we are interested in integrating text/patterns/logos into 3D models of the city. At the moment we are putting a work flow in place to take our CASA logo and burn it into the street patten of a procedural city.
Using the CityEngine, combined with vector files and Lumion/3DMax some interesting results can be obtained, especially if you also build in some physics/particle engine and agent based model capability.
We will have more on this in the coming days….
Next stages are to build the city over time, we should have a work flow in place soon…
Update 14th March 2012 – Below is the first second draft movie:

Now you should shape the city itself to the logo so on fly-out it has a nice a-ha effect!
Good idea – interlinked radial network cities, could like rather link the Garden City movement, we will give it a go…
Nice video!
I like the music too – who is it by?
Its the default out of iMovie on the ipad – just used for a quick render. Its nice but i think its going to be used on all sort of movies as its one of a few defaults from apple…
