Blender City Generator Street Networks

Create 3D cities in a single click with Suicidator City Generator, a free Python script for Blender. Learn more and get it at http://arnaud.ile.nc/sce/

This time I'm taking care of streets. Only the raster is generated at the moment.

They're not easy to deal with, but with a bit of ingeniosity, it's possible to obtain realistic looking street networks.

This is of course a never-ending work in progress, and shall be improved.

@RussiaT9

In the next version of my city generator yes.

Coming soon in October!

I'm working on my own version of this but I am having trouble getting realistic results. Do you happen to know the parameters you were using for this test?

@wivy1

What do you mean by your "own version"?

The parameters for this video were the default I guess.

Simply change the parameters, and see what they do by regenerating the network.

great work!

I'm wondering... what approach are you using to create this? I read somewhere that context-sensitive l-systems are a way of creating realistic city-roadmaps... I'm wondering if you're using that in python to get this done. Any chance you'll post the script somewhere?

Yeah, I was also reading this paper by Pascal Muller, and meditating on it.

I know L-Systems, but I have no idea what self-sensitive L-Systems are, so I used my own method to generate those street networks.

I will definitely release the script, but when it will look more like a finished product. For now, it is mostly a GUI-less bunch of python methods and classes.

I'm working on generating buildings that would fit in there at the moment. I have many ideas, but not so much time available...
