Testimonials
The services provided by GD3D particularly on ArcGIS CityEngine, have been invaluable. The insights and skills gained have not only improved our current projects but also prepared us for future advancements in gameengine technologies and virtual and augmented reality. We highly recommend GD3D for their expertise and comprehensive training programs.”
I thoroughly recommend using GD3D for any training with ArcGIS CityEngine and 3D modelling within the ESRI suite. They have a knack for explaining difficult concepts and workflows, with the ability to come at things from a different angle if they have not been grasped in the first instance.
