Textured 3D London and High Detail City Models2022-02-27T09:31:51+00:00

Textured City Models & Level 4 Context Models

High Visual fidelity & Easy to work with

AccuCities textured 3D Model of London has been created by wrapping our large and detailed Level 3 city model in editable textures from the latest 2020 high-resolution oblique imagery. The 3D model covers 60 km sq and can be purchased from as little as 500 x 500 meters tile.

Level 4 models are based on our Level 3 High Detail 3D Models and upgraded using a combination of custom high-res photographs and terrestrial photogrammetry. All features are 3D Modelled, separated, materials are associated with geometry and where needed, the 3D models are textured. 3D Models, elevations and features are accurate to 15 cm in all axis. Terrain can also be upgraded and street furniture can be added.

Production Renders & Animations

AccuCities Textured 3D Model of London has been created by projecting high-res oblique imagery onto a High Detail Level 3 city model. All textures are editable on individual terrain layers and buildings. Available for £1,000+VAT for a 500 x 500 meters tile. Use our Quoting Tool to order.

Textured 3D Model of London Features

Accurate, Upgradeable & Easy to Use

The textured 3D Model of London dataset was created by wrapping our large and detailed Level 3 city model in editable textures from the latest 2020 high-resolution oblique imagery. The 3D model covers 60 km sq and can be purchased from as little as 500 x 500 meters tile.

Users can turn textures on/off for individual terrain layers, remove a building without creating a hole in the model, upgrade any of the geometry or textures and even manipulate any of the trees in the trees layer individually.

Dataset covers over 60km2 of London

Gold-standard 3D city model

240 individually UV mapped tiles with all layers and objects also UV mapped individually. Textured using 2020 oblique aerial imagery onto the Level 3 model.

City model in Geo-referenced Tiles

Library dataset with 1 day delivery

Customers can buy individual tiles for £1,000+VAT. Textured Level 3 models are fully modular with our Level 2 and Level 3 models or OS maps. Available as FBX files or UE4 scene.

Your site in a high visual fidelity city context

Simulate Views, Daylight & Sunlight and more

Save time & money by reducing the need for a crane or aerial photographs! Insert your designs directly into the accurate city environment. Use Future Skyline to simulate change over time.

Made for Makers & Creatives

Update, Upgrade & Manipulate with ease

Texturing city models using aerial oblique imagery makes the process affordable but the model suffers from shadowing, especially in urban canyons. Users can upgrade their hero buildings / walkable areas / sites in few hours using image editing software.

Import into your Software of Choice

FBX format as a Standard

Textured 3D London model in FBX format can be imported into most 3D geometry editing software. Here it is imported into the Forum8 traffic simulation platform.

UE4 Game Engine scene format

Plug & Play into your Unreal Engine projects

Background to your games and urban visualisations, a textured 3D model of London can be purchased loaded into a UE4 project.

Impressive new capabilities

Custom Level 4 Models

Fully 3D modelled architectural and outdoor details

All features on Level 4 models are 3D modelled, separated, materials are associated with geometry and where needed, the 3D models are textured. 3D Models, elevations and features are accurate to 15 cm in all axis.

Level 3 to Level 4 3D Model Upgrade

Upgrades based on Level 3 Models

Level 3 buildings are accurate to 15cm in all axis. Using aerial stereo photogrammetry, all roofs features and structures are precisely manually captured with correct shapes and slopes. Level 4 models are captured on top of Level 3 3D Models using terrestrial photographs and manually textured.

Clean & Light Geometry

All main facade & architectural features are 3D modelled and structured in a way that allows for different materials to be separated. Although more labour-intensive, this workflow results in significantly lighter and more usable 3D models than other techniques.

Photo-Realistic Textures

For ultimate realism, Level 4 Models can be textured with photo realistic textures. Because 3D models are made from hi-res terrestrial photographs with UV mapping in mind, resulting 3D models have uniform and quality photo-realistic textures. Textured Level 4 models can be used in many 3D modelling packages or in a game engine.

Variety of File formats

Level 3 3D models are delivered in AutoCad Solid DWG, SketchUp SKP and Filmbox FBX formats for easy editing that suits most workflows. The 3D Model is easy to import into Revit, 3D Studio Max, Maya or Cinema 4D. 

Level 4 3D Models of London Landmarks

3D Models of the most prominent London buildings are continuously upgraded to Level 4.

Level 4 models are based on our Level 3 High Detail 3D Model of London and upgraded using a combination of custom high-res photographs and terrestrial photogrammetry. All features are 3D Modelled, separated, materials are associated with geometry and where needed, the 3D models are textured. 3D Models, elevations and features are accurate to 15 cm in all axis.

How can I use your 3D models?2018-07-22T21:56:00+01:00

3D models are distributed under company-wide, multiple-use licence which covers the use of the 3D model for 5 years. We grant to the User a worldwide, non-exclusive licence to use the 3D Model to unlimited number of Derived products (renders, animations), Incorporated products (Interactive Application, import into custom software), conduct In-house work and use 3D Model data for Physicalization such as 3D printing.

Is there a demo of AccuCities London app?2020-06-27T16:46:44+01:00

AccuCities 3D London app is now Plan.City! Please get in touch and we will be happy to set up a meeting to demo the app.

What is the difference between 3D city models?2022-03-28T21:11:02+01:00

Both Level 2 and Level 3 3D Models are manually captured from latest aerial imagery available for the area of interest.

Level 2 3D Models are accurate to 50 cm in all axis. The 3D Model is very light and low poly. Buildings are captured with correct roof shapes of main structures with only chimneys, parapet walls and dormer windows omitted. Terrain is accurate to 20 cm and separated into land use categories. Trees locations (captured with correct height and canopy width) are also included.

Level 3 3D Models are accurate to 15 cm in all axis. Buildings are captured with correct roof shapes and all features such as chimneys, parapet walls or dormer windows. Terrain is separated into land use categories. Trees locations (captured with correct height and canopy width) are also included.
