quick city

beartraps · Sep 2009

does anyone know of a way to generate or paint a big 3d city (something similar to speed tree or like maya paint effects). Doesnt have to be detailed, just need tooonns of buildings and i dont want to dedicate all my time to modeling, duplicating, and placing each one

EDIT: forgot to say I need it for Maya

So far as I know is using MAYA scripts-- city builder,and co-operate some other scripts.

Max? Try Greeble.

What are you planning on doing with it? Does it all need to be 3d?

For example, if you just need silhouettes of buildings in your background and such - then give 2d some love and just use an image on a plane if it works with your angle and shot. Model what you need/what will be close and fake the rest.

This one seems nice.

Works only for Max though.

Piflik: next time perhaps add the name of it as well

, seems that vcool was not the only one who wanted to post it as well today.

hehe, this entire day has been filled with Baader-Meinhof phenomena for me. Anywhere I look I see things I thought about, or found out about, in the last few days.

Same with this. I found this in my CGSociety newsletter, and a few days later someone asks this. ^^

Found this script for Maya called Qtown, apparently its similar to Greeble:
