Good news everyone! I started to look into the Photos I did shoot during my 3 weeks trip through Myanmar back in October/November 2010. Unfortunately I cannot post a selection on yet as there are quite some photos and videos on my computer. Myanmar was a lot of fun. Over the next weeks I am reducing the number of Photos and start to publish them on PhotoMocha.

If you happen to be in Munich I encourage you to visit Thorsten Meyer’s potrait exhibition. You can find the exhibition in a local Café called Kreislauf ( Daiserstr. 22, Munich). The exhibition shows some big prints from recent (2009-2010) portrait work from the portfolio of Thorsten Meyer a Munich (Germany) based photographer.

Procedural did update CityEngine 2010 to it’s latest release 2010.2, the latest version of its city creation software based on unique procedural techniques. CityEngine 201 can be used in 3D city modeling in urban planning, architecture,simulation, game development, and film production. The software is used by companies such as Pixar, Dreamworks, Foster+Partners, Zaha Hadid, Rockstar North, Blizzard, Microsoft, IBM, MIT, Harvard, Stanford and by us here at StrongMocha.
Procedural also introduced CityEngine STUDIO. The new version is suited for small studios in architecture and entertainment which want to realize the full potential of CityEngine or do not qualify for the low-priced CityEngine INDIE.

In addition to that, CityEngine 2010.2 includes advanced block subdivision, modeling of curved streets, new rule operations for instancing and asset search, native Collada® support for assets, export instances with the new FBX® 2011.3, and many more.
