3DTaxi

3DTaxi is a software application designed for 3D modeling and visualization, particularly within the context of urban planning and architecture. Its primary function is to enable users to create, import, and manipulate three-dimensional models of cities and buildings. The software is known for its ability to handle large-scale datasets and to provide realistic rendering of urban environments.

The core capabilities of 3DTaxi include importing various 3D model formats, such as CAD files and point clouds, and processing them for use within the application. It offers tools for generating terrain models, placing buildings, and adding environmental elements like vegetation and infrastructure. A key feature is its focus on realistic visualization, allowing users to simulate lighting conditions, weather effects, and pedestrian or vehicle movement.

3DTaxi finds applications in a range of professional fields. Urban planners utilize it to assess the impact of new developments, visualize zoning regulations, and communicate design proposals to stakeholders. Architects use it for design exploration, client presentations, and to understand the spatial relationships of their projects within their surroundings. It can also be employed in the development of virtual reality experiences and for creating digital twins of cities. The software aims to bridge the gap between technical design data and accessible visual representation.
