  • instant City ?

    Hi,

    does anyone of you know a way to make a large, highly detailled "instant city".

    People in my company very often have to present large cityplans, and masterplans. Now they´ve tried to present them with sketchup and noticed, that still many people do not seem to be able to understand, that a box means, that there is a big house....

    as always. What i am searching for is a way to replace all the boxes by more complex houses, that i could have as a collection.

    also i have heared about a software (experiment ? ) that was able to construct a cityscape based on rules . With windows, textures and so on, but can t remember where i have read about this.

    maybe theres a way with particleflow, or scatter ? or a great script , where i can tell by a greyscalle map, to plant big houses, smal houses, and so on, also to be able to rule the orientation of houses towards the streets usw. ? ? ?

    any idea ?

      it's for XSI but probably it works with XSI MODTools (free software XSI version without limitations)

      Export as OBJ and you've your procedural city!!

      if you test it can you report your impressions??

      EDIT: I've tested now but ModTools has the 64k polygon limit, so i can't export my test building....so only with standard XSI you can export it

          Good thing the dollar is so cheap these days then

          There'll be a free 30-day trial, you may have to do all your cityscaping needed for the next couple of years in those days

            Well,

            i supposed, there would be something like that, and i also thought it wouldnt be for free....

            more complicated than a ivy generator i think...



            but my company is big and maybe , lets see what happens


            a city build of buildings only ob my company, i think my boss could like this..
