BUILDING GENERATOR
_

City Rig includes two Scripts: BUILDING GENERATOR and CITY BLOCK. The Building Generator creates random arrangements from various components. Each building consists of three shapes that vary in size and position. The collection of shapes can be exchanged or edited. 

TEXTURES + DISPLACEMENTS
_

Windows, roofs and entrances are rendered by displacement maps, which are shown in great detail with the Octane Renderer and at the same time height maps keeping the polygon number of the buildings low and the viewport fast.

TEXTURE MANAGEMENT
_

All textures can be quickly exchanged via the "Textures" user data interface. This gives you simple control over the look of the buildings and allows you to exchange textures and displacement maps quickly. All areas of the building can be edited with the included Photoshop templates.

IMPORT TO BLOCK GENERATOR

Simply merge your buildings, null the pivot, and move them to the respective subfolders in the City Block Generator. Sort your buildings relative to their height from low to height. You can also add other 3D buildings for more variety.

BLOCK GENERATOR
_

Each block consists of the arrangement of Small (6x6), Medium (12x6), and Large (12x12) buildings. Adjust your block  width frequency, size, street width, city center size and additional street elements.

BLOCK ELEMENTS
_

Exchangeable city elements such as trees or street lamps can be inserted and adjusted. It's also possible to limit the area in order to save memory.
