Adobe application that does what I want?

This is difficult to express but here goes...

 

This is what I want to achieve: I am involved in a project to bring to life the streescape of 1950s Britain. I want to be able to create a network of roads, populate them with 3D-modelled components such as houses, trees, hedges, pavements and street lighting, road signs, utility poles etc and then be able, on the computer to travel along the road network and see from the ground what I have created - almost as a video car journey or a video walk.

 

Is/Are there [an] Adobe application/s (or any application if not an Adobe one) that will enable me to do this. I model my components in Sketchup and have had some experience in bringing them into Photshop as 3D objects but the technology is very clunky in many ways and I believe that Photoshop is withdrawing its 3D functionality anyway.

 

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards.

Correct answer Ussnorway7605025

you want a machinima and Adobe doesn't have one or any plans [that i'm aware of] to get one

 

free options are Unreal or Unity [Mac users]

the best on the market is Iclone [Windows only]

 

i agree Sketchup is a good design layout option too... and the price is right but I'd avoid locking yourself into Autodesk unless you need software that run on out dated systems

No Adobe app can do that for now. I think you need 3D Urban Planning & Design Software | 3D City Drawing & Planning (sketchup.com)  or Procedural 3D City Generator | 3D City Design for Urban Environments (esri.com)

Yes Ps take out 3D as it was coded for old chips and have bad performance with the newest one. I think Autodesk also have some apps that can help you for your task.
