Few tools exist that can help artists with this work, even as rapid improvements in graphics hardware create demand for richer content without matching increases in production cost. We propose a method for procedurally generating realistic patterns of land use in cities, automating placement of buildings and roads for artists.","short_abstract":"Cities are important elements of content in digital productions, but their complexity and size make them very challenging to model.
