I'm *really* looking forward to being able to use this.  I only hope that either a) it gets ported to OS X or b) I can run it on my Linux VM.

The world is round... so you have to use spherical projection.

city engine will be $7000!!!

Are you joking, or is this for real? That would price it far and away above anyone who isn't a studio or Rhythm & Hues sized outfit. Would be a real shame, as few users would ever get any time on it.....

That's actually a very reasonable price considering what it does. It certainly doesn't put it in the ILM's only bracket, and could easily be justified to a production when compared to the cost of building cities the usual way (probably 5 to 10 times that, if not more). It's man hours that are the biggest overhead and this takes them down to one bod's worth plus perhaps a wiggeter (adding detail). But yes, it does take it out of the unpaid market, unless they offer a 'City Engine Lite' at some point (perhaps with limited poly counts and features - you never know). Fingers crossed.
Some bits and bobs

"They laughed at Galileo. They're laughing at me. Therefore I am the next Galileo."

Nope. Galileo was right for the simpler reason that he was right.

Where did you find this? I can't find it anywhere.
I was really looking forward too this, but for $7000 I think I'll just buy 3ds max and some cool plugins for it.

That's a damn shame; going to price it far and away out of the hands of 99% of the people out there... oh well. I was hoping for something like RealFlow - a big sting, but still attainable.
