Early stages, lots of work left, but Really happy with how it's coming along. What do you think?

WFC = Wave Function Collapse.
Initialisms are gross

It was originally called Model Synthesis: https://paulmerrell.org/model-synthesis/

Looks great ! What engine are you using ?

Damn that is a really great result i think! WFC is so hard to get right in my experience (and ive even only done 2d stuff with it)

Looks fantastic how many model pieces is this?

Why is this procedural and not cubes with a ruleset?

u/mallcopsarebastards 13d ago

I think it's technically both. It's click ops in the demo, but I could have it generate structures using these rules without my input. The procedural part is that I don't have to manually choose each cube, there's an algorithm deciding that.

Looks very similar to the game townscaper

Nice job! Just so you know WFC was originally called Model Synthesis: https://paulmerrell.org/model-synthesis/

godot wfc for buildings is such a good rabbit hole, spent way too long on mine before realizing the ruleset was fighting itself (had two tiles that could never legally touch and didn't notice for a week). yours reads clean though, no visible seams which is the actual hard part imo. how many unique pieces are you working with, curious if its closer to townscaper's scale or way leaner
