Digital twin firm Geopipe has made its 3D reconstruction of New York City available to download for free.
Users can download any part of the city, which includes both buildings and terrain, as a lightweight textured model in common 3D formats including FBX, OBJ and glTF, for use in DCC applications and game engines.
Geopipe specializes in AI-based reconstruction of real-world cities from satellite and geospatial data, for use in games, simulations, training and architectural visualization.
As a sample of its data, the firm lets users download any part of its reconstruction of New York City – it covers all five boroughs, including Staten Island – for free.
It’s possible to download the data in FBX, OBJ, gtTF/GLB or Collada format, for use in DCC apps like Blender, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, Maya or Houdini, or as an OSG file for use in geospatial applications.
Actually generating the download consumes credits – you get 180,000/month for free – with the number of credits used increasing in proportion to the land area you’re reconstructing.
