Claude Code enables year-by-year 3D city growth animations

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has created a method for generating year-by-year 3D city growth animations using code, specifically within the Claude Code environment. This technique allows for the creation of short, silent videos, such as an MP4 file, that visually depict a city evolving over time. The process relies on a single numerical input to control all aspects of the animation, including building height, lighting, and camera movement, ensuring repeatable and clean video rendering without traditional timeline or keyframe editors. The demo city, named Riverbend, features a street grid, a river with bridges, parks, and a landmark cathedral that remains visible throughout the growth sequence, with buildings dynamically adjusting their height based on their assigned era and zone.
