SIMPLE SCIFI is a systemized approach for creating full 32-bit displacement maps and instanced geometry you can use to create a variety of models, from distant cities, to spaceship details, to sci-fi objects and more. There are two versions, free and pro. The free version has a base set of DPACKS (map generator files) along with three different displacement generators that can create thousands of mutations of generated displacement images.
The Pro version comes with multiple DPACKS which are sets of especially created generation objects and allows for more varied and specific types of displacement and geometry generation.

Unbelievable!!! Chipp products never disappoint I swear.

[@Nillerus]

Holy shit. This is actual black magic. Also the shoutouts to other creators, and making a free version for students and whatnot... You are a class act man.

[@blustarinc]

im just getting into 3d art and have been in a rut thinking to myself, there must be a way to create huge scifi scenes with detail without spending 3 months modelling and texturing every little detail. and here you are. thank u so much

[@humansrants1694]

Good lord bought it and did two months worth of modelling of the internal bay of my Star Destroyer in 20mins, first go. Thank you very much.

[@jaredbrusseau]

I don't have a lot of experience with Blender or add-ons, but I've enjoyed using Kit Ops as well as watching your videos. The videos have helped me a lot in a bunch of different ways. I just want to say, the production quality of this video is great. It feels a lot more like a product showcase. I wish you much success sir. You're doing great work. 👍🏻

hi! this is a BRAIN-BLOWING ADDON!!! WHAT A SUPERNATURAL!!!

[@GRACFUL1]

Chipp, there are some objects that are not seen, and taking up a lot of unnecessary memory, and nothing seems to have any agenda, everything is just scattered with over lapping objects. We need more Layers in GEO GEN. This Addon is good. The addon needs a scattering plan, = placement scattering. Thank you Chipp

[@Leukick]

Can you make a DPACK that is a city generator? Just a series of modern buildings would be nice, no need for all the groud level details. Would be extremely helpful

[@ArghanionsPuzzlebox]

Hi Chipp. Thanks for the content. Are we able to add the Geometry Node Setup to a custom shape, such as a torus? Or do we need to first convert the Geo Node into a Mesh with "Realize Instances" > "Convert to Mesh" and then spawn / manually place them in whatever shape we want? At the moment, on the free version, I can see that I can add the Setup to a UV Sphere for example, but the Geo is still generated on a plane inside the Sphere.

[@ChippWalters]

See the videos on how to create your own DPACK

[@toulouse2k]

Got it....thanks for sharing your genius.

[@microfx]

bought it! Love it so far ... but it's really complicated to use ... I make mistakes or don't see stuff you see in the video. E.g. no material preview is there after appending into a new file. Sooo many steps to remember :D Let's hope I don't have it forgotten in 2 days because that'd be even more frustrating :D

Yes, see the docs: cw1.me/ssf

[@GifCoDigital]

Im a bit confused on how to use Geo Generator with a displacement map? Or is that not really the intended workflow and they are just two separate features?

[@ChippWalters]

Yes, you are exactly correct. They are two different features. That said, you can use both in the same scene if you wish.

Hi Chipp Walters, i'm interested to buy the pro version, but i don't find any way to bind the GEO on a other geometry (a character for exemple). Is that possible ?

When I first open the Blend file (free version to try it out), I don't get what shows in the video and can't see any result. In the modifier settings, nothing works and there is a note: Node group has undefined nodes or sockets. How can I fix this to make it work?

Guess how powerful it will get when 'vector displacement maps' can be rendered and used with blender in the future. Not only straight 'Z' displacement but all dimensions.. wohoo future...!!

[@ChippWalters]

The geometry option is way more powerful and faster than vector Displacement.

This is incredible Chipp. 🤯🤯🤯🤯 I've purchased your other addons and I'm going to purchase this one. I tried import into unreal engine what I created with Synth and Shape Generator but the textures fell apart in Unreal. Will there be a future update that will help with importing into Unreal?

You'll need to create your own shader in Unreal, but you can certainly use the same maps.

Instabuy! A couple of questions - Can we use roughness maps with this ? Also, please make a tutorial for creating our own DPacks. Cheers.

[@ChippWalters]

You can certainly add your own roughness maps-- just plug them in to the roughness channel, or as them in the side image node. We'll have a tutorial soon on creating your own DPACKS.

[@peter486]

the problem is that the way toy seed creates So much stacked overflow and the modses are pretty bad. Uv ar no optimized and and shaped and form. and you are gona have to go into the models to fix them. because yon need ID maps. but its a nice idea. i think yiu need to redo alot of the models i would pref they where Verted painted. to get out the id maps. this is just buolt to render in bender.

[@ChippWalters]

They are all vertex colored. You can make your own DPACKS anyway you like.

Hi Chipp, boy do I owe you a debt of gratitude... However, I'm wondering if I need to decimate this to reduce my Vertices, Edges, & Triangles like you mention in your five part mini series so as to not have a three hour render per frame... And I have a beast of a machine... TY

That is strange. It should render pretty fast if you are using geometry and not Displacement. Feel free to post over at cw1.me/discord

Save a copy of the file, that should do the same thing.

[@tristram2k75]

So I bought it... how do you install it? OR is it not actually an addon but rather a BLEND file with a setup (I guess you do say it is a Blend file at the beginning of the video - but then how are future D-Packs added since it is not an addon per see)?
