Buildings Maker stands out in the superhive library because it turns a set of custom parts into an unlimited supply of randomly assembled buildings.
Buildings Maker is a Blender addon from BoUBoU that picks elements randomly to create buildings, or any vertical elements. Each building is assembled from bases, which repeat until you reach the last floor, rooftops, and addons you can plug onto the building.
The workflow starts with your own libraries of parts. Once those are made, Buildings Maker can randomly generate as many buildings as you want. A tutorial walks through how to use it, and documentation is included.
The addon supports a wide span of Blender releases, from 2.9, 2.91, 2.92, and 2.93 through the 3.x series and up to 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2. It is distributed under the GPL license, and a demo video is available. On superhive it holds a five-star rating from a single review.
Buildings Maker is best for blender artists who want to generate many random buildings or vertical elements from their own libraries of parts.
Buildings Maker is completely free to download and use.
Buildings Maker lists compatibility with a broad range of Blender releases, covering 2.9, 2.91, 2.92, and 2.93, the full 3.x series from 3.0 through 3.6, and the 4.x line up to 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2. That covers a wide span of Blender versions in one addon. If you work across multiple Blender versions, it's worth checking the developer's page to confirm the exact build you plan to use before installing, since the listed support reflects what was published on superhive.
Buildings Maker builds structures by picking elements at random from libraries you create. Each building starts with bases, which repeat until you reach the last floor, is topped with rooftops, and can carry additional addons you plug onto the building. Once your libraries are ready, the addon can generate as many buildings, or other vertical elements, as you want. A tutorial and included documentation cover how to set it up and put it to work.
Buildings Maker is listed as free in this catalog. Licensing and availability can change over time, so for the current terms it's best to check the developer's page directly before downloading. The addon is released under the GPL license, which is the standard for Blender addons. If you want the most up-to-date details on how it is offered and any usage terms, the developer's page linked from this catalog is the place to confirm.
Buildings Maker is distributed under the GPL license, the same license Blender itself uses. Beyond the license, the addon ships with documentation, and a demo video is available if you want to see it in action before getting started. Licensing terms can change, so for any specifics on how the addon may be used or redistributed, the developer's page linked from this catalog is the best place to check.
