Pavel Oliva the creator of Buildify loves to work with Node based setups especially the geometry nodes in blender.

Of which one of the tools he created is Buildify, which makes it easy to create cities with randomized buildings. Buildify is a setup of geometry nodes library in which you can use your assets like the roof, floors, door and wall props to create the building/city you wish to build.

Plus the nodes library is free to download on gumroad. The blend file doesn't contain the assets used in the video. You can create the assets yourself or get them through a marketplace like Megascan(paid). However our fellow creator Pavel is kind enough to provide with a

el is kind enough to provide with a free desert kit to get started with the setup.

The key feature of the library are:-

  • Easy to use - Once you have created/collected the assets to use, put them into the collection and then just play with the settings to created buildings automatically.
  • Modular approach - Make large variety of architectural structures that suits you need using premade node setups. And it's non destructive.
  • Native support for Blender-OSM addon - use data based on real life locations to combine with procedural generation.

Would love to see what you guys create with it and we would recommend you to checkout the creators Twitter for more of his project.

Note - Make sure to use Blender version 3.2. Older versions are not supported!
