CITYBLD

CityBLD is a complete city creation toolkit for Unreal Engine 5. In combination with a few handcrafted details, CityBLD will be able to generate everything you need to get a game-ready city up and running.

CITYBLD + Add-Ons

Current Version 0.3.1 Patch 2 (Updated)

Attention! There will be no more updates for this asset. The creators have added a license file.

By default, CityBLD offers the best results with modern American or European style cities, but the tools are designed in such a way that with only slight modification you can create virtually any city in existence - be it an ancient port town, sci-fi metropolis, or something even more abstract!

CityBLD Features:

ROADS

CityBLD includes the most powerful road creation toolset available for Unreal.

• Simple road brush tool - click in the world to draw roads and highways
• Modular roads tool - draw anything from railways to walls with the same powerful road tools
• Merge types - customize the meshes spawned at merges, merge angle, number of merge lanes, merge lane length, and more.
• Parametric road markings that are dynamically applied to any road material you use
• Road end markings - add crosswalks, turn lane markings, and more at the end of roads
• Point and spot lights can be attached to street lamps and turned on and off at runtime
• Control spline handle allows you to precisely and evenly adjust the angle of a road curve
• Elevation adjustments - simply scroll the mouse wheel to raise and lower the road or highway as you draw
• When elevated, roads and highways can automatically spawn guardrails and bridge supports which align to avoid overlapping underlying roads or highways
• When lowered beneath the ground, highways automatically generate tunnels
• Instantly align the landscape to roads & highways as they are drawn
• Road Prefabs allow you to use premade intersections, such as roundabouts.
• Many AAA quality road & highway presets are included for free with the plugin

BUILDINGS

CityBLD's modular building generator is the most flexible on the market, allowing all types of buildings to be generated with any shape or angle.

• Any 2D shape supported by the building generator
• Static or procedural interior generation
• Buildings can have interactive doors
• Buildings can have any number of sides
• Buildings are spawned procedurally on realistically subdivided lots
• Static buildings, such as KitBash3D packs, can be procedurally placed as well as modular buildings
• Both static and modular buildings can spawn interiors and interactive doors
• Areas within streets can be automatically subdivided into smaller lots, which can contain buildings, props, or PCG graphs.
• Buildings can generate foundation walls and steps on steep slopes
• Extensive roof styling options
• Procedural flat rooftops that conform to the building shape
• Procedural gabled rooftops that conform to the building shape
• Procedural hipped rooftops that conform to the building shape
• Roof tile spawn
• Buildings can be converted to instanced meshes for game-ready performance
• Buildings can be converted to Static Mesh assets and exported to .fbx for use in an external software
• Buildings can utilize Chaos Destruction to fracture and collapse realistically.
• The rules of each building floor are completely customizable to achieve a wide variety of architecture styles

Optimization

• Use any custom meshes you want
• Modular mesh placement according to industry standards
• PCG Framework integration

Traffic

• Spawn Mass AI pedestrians in just a few clicks, with pathways configured automatically
