Question for building procédural

[guerin]

Hi everyone! That's my little problem. I followed Itoo s tutorial on "cityscapes" and here is my problem: I have 3 buildings and I would like them to randomly replace the spline. It works for the random side but only if the spline is square. If there is a hook for example, the raiclone does not follow the buildings, any idea?




Thank you!!!
(raiclone pro lastest version)

Hi Anthony,

From the provided screenshot, it looks like you're using the Extend X/Y Size to Area feature. Please double-check that the Deform > Slice option is enabled for the selected Segment, or simply set the For No Slice option to Slice.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

Thx !
I deselected Slice and Bend

If you want to perform the clipping operation, these should be enabled or overridden by using the previously mentioned For No Slice > Slice option within the Array 2S1 Generator. Could you please briefly describe how you would like your style to behave? The workflow explained in the mentioned tutorial is different - if you want to "fill" these areas, using the Extend X/Y Size to Area feature should do the job.

Best regards,

ok, what I wish is that my 3 different buildings fill the splines despite their shapes

Hi,

Thanks for the extra info.

It looks like you would like to to scale an existing model of a complete building to fit non-rectangular spline. Unfortunately this wont work as it is, you'll need to to break the building into smaller parts that can be used to reconstruct it to match any shape. As a minimum this is likely to be one segment for the walls and another roof, but it could be much more sophisticated that than if the project requires it. Attached is a simple file that randomizes a different building per spline between with different wall types synced with 3 different roof types.

It should be pretty self explanatory, but the main thing to note is the Randomize node which has been set to Generate On -> X Spline Start to ensure that the same segment is used for each closed spline. In the sample file I had also enabled Sync Between -> Generators to illustrate that you can match different roofs to walls if that is required. If you have any questions about this file, please don't hesitate to let me know.

All the best,

Paul
