I've been searching out the web for ways to automate scenery creation....
this is an add-on for Blender that helps build a house.
I'd like to see something like this but pushes the envelope a bit further.
Hero houseIt would be great if one could buy a utility that...
Allowed the user to quickly build a 3d house model with doors, windows, a selection of roof types, kitchens, bathrooms, and scattered furniture about.
Doors and windows have animation and collision zones built in.
Where we could specify it's how 'cartoony' the result is.
This could be implemented with a slider that gradually throws all the angles out of kilter, or pushing the angles in the 'y' out from the base in a curve)
Options for time period of house.
A way to implement this is to give options for walls that step back in history such as...
concrete walls, wood walls, Tudor frames, stonework. It would be amazing if by key framing the 'time period' slider, the house would animate it's style changing through history.
A city generatorTakes the 'hero house' building as a seed, and generates anything from a village to a city.
lays down options from dirt tracks, to bitumen sealed roads with sidewalks
Options that range from empty fields framed with farm fences to traffic lights and bus shelters.
I'd like to be able to generate everything from a single road wild west town, to a modern high rise metropolis all auto populated with speed tree content. Auto populate car models with inbuilt circulating motion paths for instant city traffic (left and right side of the road options please
).
The models generated are for backdrops and scenery so if interiors are required, one should use the 'hero house' generator.
options for detail drop off with distance.
Options to remove individual houses so that this utility can be used to rough out an environment that can then be worked on to add bespoke models at a later date.
Types of customers that might use these facilitiesGame designers could quickly build and populate environments.
Film makers could build sets for iClone films or rough out environments for film animatics.
Home owners could model their homes, try out alterations, and move iClone people around these environments to test the alterations out.
