Three-Dimensional Modeling of Virtual City: Taking MultiGenCreator for Example

Abstract:

The three-dimensional modeling of virtual city is one of the most basic and most important work in the simulation system of virtual city. This paper mainly summarizes the basic content and the key technologies of the three-dimensional modeling of virtual city, sets forth the modeling steps and methods based on MultiGenCreator and finally gives a brief summary of the application of this technology in urban planning and construction and geographic information system.
