Hi everyone! Let me know what you think about ICity in the comments below! :)

[@walker1054]

Seems like every city building generator always mainly has like a 1950s NYC apartment building look which really limits the usecases. If this could generate modern looking apartment buildings, like the larger window type and lots of glass with a flat/plain colour facade instead of bricks then that would be awesome. Maybe theres a way to do it but no videos show anything other than the old apartment block style type buildings and I don't want to spend loads of money checking myself. I'd get it instantly if theres an easy way for it to generate modern looking apartment buildings

[@TheCGEssentials]

Fair comment and I'm hoping this add-on is successful enough that the developer can keep adding things like this.

[@rgarlinyc]

Looks like a great addition - thanks for bringing it to my attention!

[@Lizardforce]

Wow sick thanks Justin. This looks dope!

[@TheCGEssentials]

Glad you like it!

[@paulwebb311]

Not had a chance to watch your video yet (in my saved to watch later) ☺️ but I bought this one and it’s awesome 👌👍 not perfect, but it’s version 1.0 so sure improvements and updates to come. But as it is I really like it 💯👍

[@davidrichard1910]

Thanks for the video. I find this addon super cool, lots of interesting parameters to have fun creating cities. However, I'm wondering if it's possible to set the number of floors for buildings, and also give a parameter for the surface area of the building? I'm a 3D modeler in the urban planning sector and I'm looking for an addon that would allow me to parameterize these elements (floors, surfaces, building shape, etc.).

[@TheCGEssentials]

Currently no, nothing like that. That would be a very different tool in my opinion - I've seen tools like this from Autodesk (Forma), and SketchUp (Modelur), but nothing really specific like this to Blender

[@fergadelics]

Needs a LOD by camera distance maybe.

[@dontbealoneru]

i would like to look on free alternatives to this tool, maybe with less functionality, but for small projects or backgrounds such advancements is overkill. Still thanks for video.

[@EduardKaresli]

Looks very promising but the inability to add custom buildings might be a deal breaker for someone.
If you want to build assets for a racing game then this addon would be perfectly fine, but if you want to build levels for an FPS game where you can enter buildings and explore stuff and hide, then this addon needs more work.
Definitely interesting though.

[@TheCGEssentials]

Definitely a fair comment, though I would say it's unlikely you'd be using something like this for an FPS shooter anyway as I think those levels are a little more custom. That said, customization of the buildings more would be a great step!

[@danylatulippe]

WOW!! I so need that in Unreal Engine. Does anyone know of an equivalent? I could generate in Blender and bring to Unreal, but I assume it could be a hassle.

[@chuzzbot]

Ooh no the render though.

[@bcgames92]

can you bake your result?

[@Ivan_Balakirev]

Show me hires renders

[@s.patterson5698]

No one has yet answered if this works in Evee?

[@Pneumanon]

I don't know why but when I use this only roads show up, no buildings.

[@3DMVR]

love the idea of city scenes for some superpower/reverae isekai animations hate building cities, I think buildings are my least favorite part of 3d modeling might have to buy this one

[@LancerX916]

So could I use the Manhattan Kitbash set with this add-on?

[@TheCGEssentials]

At the moment custom models aren't officially supported. Theoretically you might be able to put them in the collections, but it's not really built for that at the moment

[@Vectorr66]

That would be great!

[@fredericld6553]

56,25 Yes I buy but it's finish.
