Seeking open source software similiar to Esri City Engine?




I am looking for open source software similar to ESRI City Engine and currently going through open source software directory.


About ESRI City Engine (Quick introduction)


We want to make few historical places in 3D format & I heard that in some cases its difficult to integrate with other software (i.e. Esri City engine to Google earth and vice verse etc)



Most of the spatial data is in PostgreSQL/PostGIS . Hence looking for alternative so any open source software included 3 D editing facility will be great.



Answer



You could look at Blender which is the defacto standard open source 3D modeling program with a huge community and tons of tutorials out on the web.


Here is a tuturial about creating a cityscape in Blender.
