What's CitySketch?

CitySketch is an Add-on for the 3D Software Blender that generates large and realistic cities.

CitySketch generates the following objects:

• Buildings
• Roads
• Details like street signs, posters, traffic lights and many others
• Trees, Bushes and Grass
• Point of Interests (special buildings that only appear once per city e.g. a church)

You can then use the generated City for whatever you want

When and where are we releasing CitySketch?

We are not. CitySketch was our final-year diploma project at HTL Rennweg. The project is complete and the add-on will not be released publicly. See the project status on our homepage.

Is CitySketch a standalone Application?

CitySketch is an Add-on for Blender the popular open-source 3D Software and only works for version 2.8 and higher. There are no plans to release CitySketch as a standalone apllication at this time.

Can I use my own assets with CitySketch?

Yes absolutely! You can use any assets you have for custom cities. Be sure to check out our documentation on this topic.

What's included in the CitySketch download?

There is no public download. The finished add-on consisted of the Blender add-on itself and 2 asset packs. One is a very detailed collection of 3D models to generate cities. The other is a low-poly style asset pack for quick city prototyping.

Is the development finished?

Yes. Development ended with the completion of our diploma project in 2021 and no further updates are planned.

How far are we?

All the images you see on our website have been generated with the final version of the add-on. The project is complete.

Will CitySketch run on my old computer?

CitySketch does not require any significant processing power if you wish to generate a small city. Rendering the image will be more power- and time-consuming that generating the city itself.

What kinds of assets are included?

CitySketch will ship with two unique Asset Packs.

• highly realistic and graphic-heavy asset pack with lots of details
• low poly stylized asset pack for unique looking citisies, perfect for architecture and certain games/renders

Why are we developing CitySketch?

CitySketch is being developed for two main rasons. For our final project as students and because its very difficult to create a good looking city!

When do we release CitySketch?

CitySketch will not be released. The project was completed as our diploma project and development has ended.

How long does it take to generate a city like the one on our homepage?

CitySketch is extremly fast. The City from the homepage took less than a second!

Can you export the city to unity?

Exporting large cities via fbx is a difficult problem to solve. We plan on providing a small Unity extension that should significantly help with the export.

Are the assets part of CitySketch?

Yes! We created the assets with CitySketch in mind and will be shipping them together with the add-on.
