Join Gnomon to discover how CityEngine is being used to create impressive 3D cityscapes in the movies. Matthias Buehler, one of the very rare CityEngine specialists, will take to the Gnomon Stage to discuss the CityEngine-related work on Independence Day: Resurgence.

This presentation is for anyone interested in VFX, procedural workflows and technical making-of talks.
