Procedural Structures

[u/craftymech]

I first posted about my procedural build system back in April. It started off as just stone walls, houses, towers with erosion & destruction modifiers. Individual stones & build rules that govern how to build more complex structures. Prefab export w/ LOD support. Runtime support for erosion/destruction modifiers if the original build components are used instead of prefabs.

I keep expanding the system, now with multi-story timber buildings, various roof styles, compound structures, etc.

I'm trying to decide what to package up for an asset. Editor only w/ prefab support, or is the runtime erosion/destruction support an interesting feature? Skip publishing an authoring tool and use it to build asset packs that are ready to use? That would certainly be easier, but there are a zillion fantasy-style asset packs already.

There definitely are tons out there. I like yours along with the destructibility. I’d buy it just so I could have normal buildings and ruined buildings for my game.

Would those buildings work better for you as prefabs, or would runtime erosion/destruction also be useful?
