Arguably the two best automatic 3D urban modelling tools have gained new versions in the last few weeks. Procedural Inc has released CityEngine 2009.3 and PixelActive CityScape 1.8. Both come with a variety of updates and new features. I've blogged about both of them in the past but it's always good to see new versions of the software coming in regural intervals.
For example, the CityEngine app now allos for global texture mapping and advanced roof types while CityScape tackles automated and advanced city traffic. Both of them also support GIS data as well (from the free repository of OpenStreetMap) so the possibilities of creating real-world locations other than fictitious ones is also there.
Check them out at http://www.procedural.com/cityengine and http://pixelactive3d.com.
