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/

Test render showing the building texture generator for night scenes.

The buildings and their textures are procedural. The road lights and the river were placed by hand.

The texture generator accepts various input parameters such as min/max RGB values, x/y offset between each window, windows min/max size, window min/max skipping probabilities...

  • Can I use this video for my short movie?

  • @wilstafproductions

    Sure, no problem, thx for asking :)

  • I never got this looking very good...

    Could you make a tut on how you did this?

  • @TheFXGuy

    In the script GUI, textures tab, set daylight to 0.05 and generate a few building textures.

    In the city material properties, set emit to the maximum.

    Use a very dim light or none at all in your scene.

    Put halos on roads and crowded areas to simulate diffuse lighting.

    Hope it helps :)

  • @PiiichanPictures

    I did what you said (and maybe it's because I don't use Blender very much and am missing something simple), but whenever I render, they have this weird blocky texture. In textured mode in the Blender 3D view, though, it shows the nighttime texture. Any suggestions?

  • @TheFXGuy

    Make sure you enable the "TexFace" option in the city material, "material" tab (shortcuts: f5)

    These are basic steps. You should spend some time familiarizing yourself with Blender first. Follow one or two introductory tutorials about Blender materials and textures.

    Use the RGB curves compositing node to play with the contrast and colors of the final render.

    Everything is already setup in the .blend file you download from the website. Use CTRL+RIGHT to show the compositing nodes.

  • That looks great. Good job.

  • disco

  • @agentEE7 Just to make some random city, it takes one click. For what you want, 100+, PiichanPictures is basically right.

  • "Create 3D cities in a "single click" with Suicidator City Generator". Yeah right! There are at least a hundred clicks you have to make to set the parameters so that you get a city just like that!

  • just waiting for a 2.5 version of the add-on to come out!

  • This is stunning - you have craeted an awesome city

  • sparkly
