The SDK makes it easy to use the 3D city model data provided by PLATEAU in Unity and Unreal Engine.

It also provides functions for extracting city models by selecting a range on a map and accessing model data provided on PLATEAU&#8217;s server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also allows for filtering of object types in the city model, export to 3D file format, and access to the Blueprint API for attribute data. Developers can take advantage of these features in Unity and Unreal Engine to develop simulations and games using real-world Japanese cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, a game mod production concept by MLIT was revealed, as reported on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moguravr.com\/project-plateau-7\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mogura VR News<\/a>, using PLATEAU&#8217;s 3D city models to reflect the land of Japan in <em>Cities: Skylines<\/em>.
