How to Create Sci-Fi Buildings in 5 Minutes

[@CGGeek]

Cooorrrection! That's January 11th (Just 6 days from now!) sorry my brain is stuck in November lol Excited to see what sort of crazy Sci-fi concepts you come up with using this tutorial!

[@michaelmellor3D]

Haha, I had to rewatch that part a few times. That threw me for a second. 😅

[@bibsonsilentre5384]

Aw shucks..I was hoping for the photo realism .but I guess this will do

[@CGGeek]

@@bibsonsilentre5384 Will definitely be doing some photo realism this year as well :)

[@fleurbird]

I'm glad I'm not crazy. Well. I heard the November part correctly. So that's one crazy point less for me

I've always been waiting for my favorite3d modeler to drop a detailed building tutorial.

[@brandonjacksoon]

Awesome tutorials, as always! Thanks CG Geek!

[@CGGeek]

Glad you like them!

[@alright4422]

OK, I had no idea how amazing geometry nodes really are. I still kind of avoid them as they are still kind of a new feature for me, but I'll definitely learn more about them now, thank you

[@michaelmellor3D]

Nice! Great tutorial, Steve. I love your videos - Its super easy to follow and learn from you.

[@mikellemyers]

The building textures aren’t free

[@colepeterson5392]

This guy modeling in the Cycles viewport is proof I need a new computer.

[@nkr1159]

That was brilliant, thank you so much! And the muse-grave-texture will stay with me too :)

[@WW_Studios]

Wow! That's a really cool technique for generating buildings! Nice :D

[@metatronorder3565]

very cool tutorial man!👍

[@RealGaryGibson]

Very cool!

[@emericktheriault]

Don't worry, if you want to render a single image and you don't have enough GPU memory because of the Ivy gen (like me, even if I have a RTX 3060), I turned my device to CPU. Of course, it's slow to render...

[@lachlanbedits7965]

I am at the section where I am trying to extrude certain parts of the structure at the 2:57 mark in your video and when I press x-ray mode I cannot see the structure of the cube to pull things out, I just see every verticies in the whole structure. In solid viewing mode like you. Any help?

[@lachlanbedits7965]

Fixed it, i was not in edit mode...... Im new to his forgive ahahhaa

[@primusgamerx3281]

Cool I liked video.

[@DeEnCo]

Why my "Instance on points" node is different? The scale doesn't follow the first cube that I made for building.. pls help me 2:26

[@ih4269]

Apply scale! to the building before instancing

[@antonnoel5658]

Great totorial! Just one thing, u shouldnt bring down the strength of the bump node because that wouldnt be accurate, the shadows get kinda grey instead of black, u actually want to bring down the distance to a really small value :)

[@capricalee]

Maybe this tutorial needs to update. I found that GeoNode of 4.2 version is totally different, the result and node itself..

[@TripTilt]

coool stuff. Easy to follow along. But the best ivy gen is in the baga pie toolset!

[@samgoa6164]

Thank you for the tutorial. I have been looking this kind of tutorials since I saw Emilis baltrusaitis's presentation at #BCON2022. Love from India 🇮🇳 ♥️

[@RickHenderson]

This was awesome, thanks so much. I'm on the verge of becoming an Instance on Points master! 🤣

[@CGGeek]

haha its basally the only Geo-nodes I'm confident using!

[@YAMIKATTT]

at around 2:30, my stuff looks very different. I'm not sure why but mine is very squashed and regardless of how much I try to adjust the scale on the original it won't change

[@Tcrakman]

THIS IS GOLD!!!

[@Tommy3D]

I was working on a metaverse and they wanted me to make Sci fi buildings. If only I could have time traveled lol

[@CritelliArt]

The ivy gen looks pretty good, but it's VERY heavy. Is there a good way to reduce the poly count on it?

[@mayteexxis]

I think you may have to create a low poly mesh that sort of wraps around the ivy like a blanket and then bake it as texture with transparency

[@jrM5492]

cool!

[@krypto61]

Hey man, could you do an update video on the 'Beach waves' one 5 years ago with the fluid simulation? That would be awesome with the new caustics :) Btw loye your videos

[@PlanetAlexanderProjects]

It looks a fair bit like the Half Life 2 beta citadel, which is pretty neat!

[@fracturedgamer420]

well you made that look easy

[@the3danimationdude770]

First comment here I love your animations

[@Gator_Planet]

Good stuff

[@Leilielei]

Thank you! I have a question , when I generating the Ivy the generated Ivy is so small. How can I fix that?

[@rocketwastaken]

How did you use the leaf texture? Every time I download a leaf texture from there the leaves are either always facing the wrong way or they have a black background. Or it's just 2 leaves at once

[@wilele3371]

Great tutorial but my Ivy gen leaves only come up as planes how do i fix that?

[@beaustine6093]

Love this tutorial! Thank you! Could you please explain how you are able to adjust the geometry at 2:57? For some reason when I go into edit mode, i'm unable to adjust the geometry. Thanks!

[@cgfischer]

I wonder if that's the way how they done Coruscant in Star Wars... using a lot of low-polygon buildings. Must have been wild to do that in 1999.

[@crisoliveira2644]

But how do I clean up all the intersections and the inner faces, so I can use them in a game?

[@romdruyak5593]

when i add the relize instance node my glass material turns into just a brown color,anyone might know why?(ive applied scale and did everything like he did)

[@drathuu]

I have the same problem, applying realise instance loses the materials on the tower. Doing some reading you have to have the same material slots setup, but i cant work that out yet

[@romdruyak5593]

@@drathuu I actually did manage to solve it, I by accident used the texture coordinate UV instead of the attribute UV map like he did for the concrete. Fixing that solved my problem

[@drathuu]

I worked it out.. In the material.. we were asked to delete the "Texture Coordinate" node and replace it with an attribute node and add the name UVMap.. I did it for the 2nd material as thats when he says to do it, but if you listen carefully he says to also do it to the other material.. Click on your material.. in shader tab ensure you replace the texture coordinate for BOTH materials.. and change the name to UVMap

[@chrisgroff4981]

Cool video and good instructions, just one question, can you add more than one object to the gel nodes object?

[@the_world_around_channel]

this is great! Thank you for your lеsson

[@shoiko]

YO This is what Geo node are? YO!

[@readyforlol]

Is there a way to bake the nodes to geometry and get rid of all the inside geometry ? Say for optimizing video game assets ?

[@alexramblas]

ja ja, muy bueno !, saludos desde Argentina...tu lejano suscriptor...

[@AlanDarkworld]

He did not delete the default cube! He used the default cube! Heresy! Joke of course, cool video :)

[@wilhelmeniabilliedoherty5917]

I wonder how well I could apply a lot of this to a high fantasy city...

It goes where you place the 3D curser, changing the ivy length will make it climb further

How to do scale along the Z by having object scale only UP and now Down as well?

[@pat2e215]

Does anybody know the answer to this?

[@pat2e215]

Sheesh, since no answer, I figured it out. Anyone who wants to know, you need to have the origin set at the bottom of the cube then scaling will only go up. It would have been great if this was explained in the video. But, I guess you can't have everything. Where would you put it?

[@ICallitSchnitzel]

ing geometry nodes the new modesl does not stack aroung the one tower they all have distance to each other :/ how do i fix that?

Get to nano geometry and sound gravitational change and nano thermokinetic may be magic happen but under the hood if they reflash computers graphic engine and sound driver or the bio then we be indanger unless embeded on earth cpu drivers

Hello, great tutorial. But I'm stuck with the size of object info node. I had to change from original to relative, else the scifi building is really high. I must have a parameter somewhere that is wrong but I do not see where. If someone can help

Me too, I think its a bug in new version blender 3.5 I have a same problem

same problem. Any solutions?

[@chrisdvo9910]

I hate u so much^^ U made ma assets obsolet cause I can do this. I still have to find into geometry nodes. But as they are the highest power of blender, I will do. At least I reached the point that I can follow such tutorials! So I will keep going on. There are so many Ideas and pictures in my mind, I wanna share. So thanku for this.

When I add Realize Instances, the texture vanishes from the object (but the AO stays). The source object keeps the material. (Maybe the Realize Instances is messing with my UV data?)
