Those are first testrenders using CyGen for Maya.
It's a python program I've been working on since the last two weeks and I'll be working on it for a while ... What you see is a demo city, generated from a couple of simple splines on a polygonal plane using edge replacement algorithms. A brief description is available on my website: [link] The program is a work in progress. For now you actually only see one building type variated several times with the program. I'm currently working on a procedural texturing process that will apply materials on the fly ... After that I'll start adding more building types and a algorithm that blends those types together to create subspecies allowing even more variation. More stuff to come ... Some facts: - work time: 5 minutes (drawing splines, using an existing lighting scene) - generation time: 20 minutes (drinking coffee, eating cake, ... ) - rendertime: 15 minutes (some more coffee, some more cake, ...) - generated unique buildings: 288 - generated polygons: 2.33 Millions - instances in Maya: 6 - total amount of Polygons: 14 Millions - total amount of Fun: a lot - RAM: 12 GB - CPU: Dual Dual Core 2.4 Ghz (Maya only uses one core :S ) I've created a Research & Development section for CyGen on my website: [link] I'll keep on adding updates there ...

Like my avatar? I'll make you one like it.
How can the software generate variations from the same building by itself ? or did I misunderstand ...

Did it hurt when you fell from heaven? Because that would explain what happened to your face.

It's not the height of the tree but the way its leaves blow in the breeze.
I really need to get better with Maya... Still one of the best in my class, but not nearly as good as I would like to be...
I really could have used this in a project I did recently, could have saved me a few days of duplicating!
