A research platform to design Virtual Worlds
(Terrain, Landscapes, Cities)

About Us

Our research group develops innovative methods for creating advanced virtual worlds within the ORIGAMI research team at LIRIS. We focus particularly on the scalability of these methods, enabling the generation of large-scale environments, as well as on providing intuitive and powerful user control.

ARCHES is a platform dedicated to the simulation and procedural generation of complex virtual environments. It brings together and integrates the developments of the ORIGAMI team at LIRIS. ARCHES is compatible with Windows, Linux, and macOS, and is built upon the Qt6 framework for its user interface.
The platform offers a wide range of tools for designing, generating, and visualizing highly detailed virtual scenes. The resulting content can be seamlessly exported to professional software such as Vue (E-on Software), and can also be rendered using the Mitsuba physically based renderer.
