procedural city engine, used as population

@n810 - of course possible ... in the above mentioned thread you see pictures but, with lateral displacements (windows and so on), so this functionality will not work.

The rock object might work. If it was given six sides?

The rock object tries to build itself up by using triangles ... else a good idea.

Ahhhh Sory I missed this thread  the first go around.
It looked like you where making some real progress.
Could you use a couple of stationary careras to project windows
on the sides of the buildings, (cameras horizontal and perpendictular to each outher).

I have not tried it, as I am not a modeller.
Else we run into the same problem again ... placing objects ... many objects in an ordered population.

I had a look at the scene files again ... combined with some new knowledge, it might be possible to displace the buildings with less than 90°.
Give me some time for this, but.

Okay ... I think I have it ... it is a slow calculation, so I guess that I will not be able to show 'rounded' city scapes within the next 12 hours.

I have a break on this for a few days ... it will still need some refining: I do not like the bottom of the buildings, they are too uniform, they render too slow.

Being back after another running project.

Brian Johnson would sing: 'Can't stand still'

Another go ... the above used functions turned to the basics ... just the grid ... for a start.

22 Minutes on 2 Cores with Qu. 1 ... AA 8 ... fast enough concerning the involved reflective surfaces and displacements.
