Subversion Procedural Cities Dec 2008

December 23rd 2008

The first half of the video shows the latest version of the Subversion city generator. It now operates in a very different (and much better) way. Once the road network has been finished, a new system takes over -- which I've called the Geometry Generator. This system is responsible for running all the different procedural generation algorithms in turn as they are required, generating all of the data of the city and pushing it onto the graphics card in realtime before your eyes, starting with a road network and ending at the buildings and skyscrapers.
The second half of the video shows the work-in-progress generating the insides of buildings. Right now only three bits of detail exist : support columns, elevator shafts (empty), and stairwells. But crucially, and this is where the real magic has happened : the insides of the building now use the same Geometry Generator system as the city and the same data structures, meaning the whole thing has been unified. So instead of generating Parks and Streets and Buildings, we are now generating Floors and Windows and Stairwells, but the underlying system is the same.

@uokel Why, just why do you assume shit about me? I at least made my assumption with logic behind it, yet you just go on a bitter bitch spree.

[uokel]

@snati4 no im not pissed i just think your the retarted one starting shit on the internet and me a fat bastard i highly doubt it lol you are probably just some piece of shit guy with no life and you have to spend your time starting shit on the internet to make yourself seem important :D great life you got there

@uokel You seem to be pissed at me calling you a bloody retard, meh, I'll just continue laughing at you trying to press fewer buttons, like a fat bastard, and trying to sound cool by saying "dose" and such.

@snati4 one grammer dosen't mean a single thing on the internet nor do i care about what your thought is second when you get the humble bundle they say with the game that it will also generate the floors etc which is dose not. so thats false information on this demo

[snati4]

@uokel You have the grammar of a five year old, and that was probably to make it run on the average computer.

@snati4 one problem most of the stuff they show in this video is not what u get in the humble bundle it dosent even show the supports of the building even tho it says it will when u click on it to view info off it in the humble bundle so im quite dissappointed

[snati4]

@SubWolf7 It's in the humble indie bundle now!

Where the hell....

Dude, how the hell did you make this? Its been one of my dreams to create stuff like this...Please tell me how, this is remarkable! I would pay for this program!

[looksintolasers]

I'd pay to have this city generator as a stand-alone package :D
