Palladio enables the execution of CityEngine CGA rules inside of SideFX Houdini.
verify support (and complete) for CGA "context functions" listed here: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/cityengine/latest/cga/cityengine-cga-introduction.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_AEF99BBB7D64448CBA821BE737C842F2 * contextCompare * contextCount * minimumDistance
CGA labels are handy for testing distances to objects. Somehow piping the label information from a generic data source into the model generation would be very powerful.
investigate: * feasible to replace our "primitive classifier" mechanism with standard primitive groups?
there are multiple ways to do this: - provide functionality as a separate HDA - build it into pldGenerate (with checkbox)
complex rules and large input meshes (also multipolygon) can easily trip over the default shape tree width/depth limits. these limits can be configured with attributes: https://esri.github.io/esri-cityengine-sdk/html/classprt_1_1_initial_shape_builder.html#a54112771964d72bdad2ce9d6a28fe20a basically boils down to...
verify/investigate that multiple cga "inserts" of identical assets are handled as efficient as possible within houdini (instancing)
why: some archive operators produce packed primitives (e.g. alembic). currently, our sop does not understand this and filters them out. currently, the user needs to put an unpack sop in...
- Merge all readme files into one - Extend user manual: - Add section to introduce `pldAssign` and `pldGenerate` nodes - Update all screenshots - Add section for working with...
- Added release notes - Changed version to v2.0.0-Beta-1 (please review and merge #190 first)
