Photorealistic 3D Cities for City Planning Online

Agency9, Sweden, supports 3D models and cities generated with Smart3DCapture from Acute3D. Municipalities, authorities, and private organisations can now use the photorealistic 3D models in Agency9 CityPlanner to create web applications for planning, GIS, tourism and security purposes.

Acute3D’s Smart3DCapture is a software solution enabling data providers and distributors to produce true-3D models of cities from aerial and terrestrial imagery without any human intervention. Agency9 has streamlined a process to support large-scale 3D models from Acute3D Smart3DCapture for web deployment. CityPlanner users can easily edit the Smart3DCapture data, e.g. demolish buildings, modify terrain, export data as well as upload vector data, images and 3D models in order to create stunning interactive illustrations for public consultation or exhibition phases in planning or tourist oriented applications.

The interoperability of Smart3DCapture solutions is a topic at Acute3D, and the partnership with Agency9 opens perspectives in the diffusion of large 3D models through online applications.

Agency9 CityPlanner is a web-based service for 3D visualisation of projects within urban development, infrastructure and energy. CityPlanner is providing 3D web planning tools for widespread access and collaboration. It is created for urban planners, communicators, consultants and GIS technicians to create, share and publish project and spatial information from a web browser. CityPlanner is currently used by municipalities internationally in their daily work with master and local planning, also involving stakeholders and citizens in the planning process by enabling web publishing of 3D plan visualisations.
