Open street map data

Award

£25,000 (excluding VAT)



The Challenge

Procedurally generated content and worlds – generated algorithmically
rather than predominantly manually – are much cheaper and more efficient to
scale than purely hand-authored work by artists. A key long-term goal for
the games industry is the creation of procedurally generated content and
open-world environments, which are then rendered in a game engine and could
provide an opportunity for developers to save resources.

Many games are modeled on real-world settings and locations, so the rise in
availability of open street map data could provide interesting source
material for this type of procedurally generated content.

The heart of this challenge is to progress the objective of generating CG
game worlds from open street map data in a game engine. This could provide
game developers with the chance to create even larger worlds more quickly,
and at a lower cost. Whilst open street map data is not at all detailed
enough for many gaming applications, it could provide a starting point for
procedurally generated content.

This challenge therefore seeks innovative digital applications that can
help to more easily render open street map data in a game engine.

Successful solutions should do the following:

   - help to integrate open street map data with existing games engines
   such as CryENGINE®3 Sandbox ™
   - access open street map data from www.openstreetmap.org and/or
   www.skobbler.co.uk

Applicants are reminded that:

   - we are seeking technical solutions that are non-game applications
   - any size of open street map data can be considered
   - any geographical location can be considered
   - there is the potential to trial your solution with Crytek UK for a
   minimum of three months
   - there is a wider opportunity to gain exposure of your solution to
   other engine providers
