Tessellate launches Manhatta, a dynamic virtual recreation of Manhattan from 1609 at Terminal Warehouse.

Hello! I've realised I haven't post here for a while so I just wanted to share something I've been working on my spare time. This is the result of my work from the City Creation in Houdini course by Rebelway. Everything you see here is fully procedural , from the buildings to the streets and layout generation. The setup starts from a simple OpenStreetMap (OSM) file: once you load real-world map data, Houdini automatically generates roads, buildings, and urban structure I then refined materials and lighting in Solaris / Karma XPU, keeping the workflow efficient and flexible. The goal was to create a system capable of building complex cities automatically while keeping everything editable and lightweight. This was an incredible deep dive into procedural workflows, instancing, and large-scale environment management , big thanks to REBELWAY, James Hodgart, and the community for the support.

Someone asked me if they could hire a salesperson on commission for their archviz studio I said no Not because it's a bad idea, but because of 3 reasons most studios never think about One of them has to do with trust, another with time, and the third one? Nobody talks about it Swipe to see why this model doesn’t work (and what to do instead)

Our last post about the grappling hook in Rewilders got some attention, so I thought I'd share this new tweet (link below) where we're showing off a few more traversal tools. Since Rewilders is an open-world metroidvania with roguelite structure, we've put a lot of thought into making traversal actually fun. It's not just a way to get from point A to point B. It should feel good just to move around, glide, hook, wall-run or even cut through biomes. If we can make players enjoy the simple act of exploring, we’re doing our job right. Of course, staying true to our style at Herobeat Studios, we've tried to avoid making everything feel too "gamey". That balance between responsiveness and something that still feels believable in the world of Rewilders has been tricky, but also really rewarding to work on. If you like where this is going, we'd love it if you could check out the tweet and maybe give it a like or a share. And of course, if you're into it, wishlist the game too. That helps us a ton. 💗 https://lnkd.in/dK-HBBwc

Do you recognize this iconic London junction? I’ve been experimenting with Mapillary’s open street-level imagery to generate 3D reconstructions of familiar urban spaces—and it’s surprisingly fun and powerful. This clip shows a a favourite intersection of mine in London, reconstructed entirely from crowdsourced, user-contributed photos. It’s a fascinating way to explore how cities evolve, how geometry emerges from everyday data, and how open platforms like Mapillary can unlock new possibilities for mapping, modeling, and storytelling. If you’ve experimented with similar tools or have ideas for other locations worth reconstructing, I’d love to hear them! #maps #opendata #streets #london

Here is an example of how to turn a raw DEM into a beautiful work of art. Thanks for Dionisi (Denny) Daoularis, EIT's efforts on this tutorial - what an honor to work with him! The main trick is to have two layers of the DEM layer loaded - one for the background hillshade and the other for the colors. The z-vector shading as the toggle based on preference. Great to work with such a great team that appreciates the art of graphics in storytelling for flood migitation. Inspiration credit to Erin Rothman and Kinga Stryszowska-Hill, Ph.D.. I often ask myself - do we even need hydraulic modeling when the DEM alone can tell a story on its own? We are growing this community of like minded folks, so please reach out if you find this information useful!
