Hey, great work. An impressive application of geometry nodes as a commercial addon that has many uses. You can continue to extend this add-on with additional style packs for different types of city and townscapes and perhaps an additional addon to include vehicle/pedestrian traffic movement..

With UE, Blender can work in the drag and drop system. You might have some texture breaking but it shouldn't be difficult to place them. Static assets work well moving between them.

How resource intesive is this? Looks badass but pretty heavy...

@walker1054 Ай бұрын

Looks pretty nice but the inability to change to change the building style and that they all seem to remind me of old NYC buildings or something seems to limit the usecases. I'm sure more are in the works though. Would look odd to use this in a new buildings in Europe type of setting. Modern buildings are kinda universal too so add a model building option and they'l probably fit in with most western countries. New apartment blocks or something, the ones with large windows. Still awesome either way though.

Can we export to 3dsmax?

@ICity.3d Ай бұрын

@MikeDKelley Ай бұрын

So can I assume this can ONLY be used inside of Blender? Because exporting as FBX doesn't create anything I can use anywhere else (specifically iClone - if it worked there you could sell a TON of these).

@MikeDKelley Ай бұрын

I should note that exporting as an OBJ DOES at least bring the mesh in, but without textures (or without enough and the ones that it does bring in are all messed up - this is more a function of OBJ than it is anything else). If you got your FBX export working that could fix the texture issue but it doesn't seem to work at all.

@MikeDKelley Ай бұрын

@@ICity.3d Right, I'm on the Discord now and it's interesting to see how many folks are asking about this. This is truly a game changing product that you will sell a ton of, but definitely think about making it as 100% exportable as you can because that will be a key to moving it to the big time stage (if you have any trouble there are a lot of folks who have done similar things with Daz products - they learned how to unparent and mesh their exports properly, as FBX export is truly the way to go).
