A Tool for Landscape Architecture Based on Computer Game Technology

Modern computer game engines have reached a level of visual quality that makes them usable for other tasks and applications than mere entertainment. In this paper we will present our prototype of an interactive tool for landscape architecture based on the well-known CryENGINE and the game Farcry. We will present the steps necessary to automatically derive a valid Farcry level for real GIS data and show some preliminary results.
