Real City 1.0 - Procedural Buildings Addon is best for blender artists generating realistic buildings with procedurally generated textures.
Real City 1.0 - Procedural Buildings Addon is completely free to download and use.
Real City lists compatibility with Blender versions 4.0 through 4.5, so it fits current 4.x releases including 4.5. The add-on generates procedural buildings with various elements and procedurally generated textures directly inside Blender, with a Control Panel for adjusting the settings. If you run a build outside that range, check the developer's page for the most up-to-date compatibility details before installing, since supported versions can shift as Blender updates over time.
Real City is listed as free here in the catalog. The developer offers a standard add-on and a premium option, with the premium version adding more presets and the creator's own .blend files. The add-on is released under the GPL license, which governs how the code can be used and shared. For current licensing terms and what each option includes, check the developer's page directly for the latest details.
Real City works best with Cycles, according to the developer. It generates procedural buildings carrying various elements along with procedurally generated textures, and a Control Panel gives access to the settings. If you prefer another render engine, the developer's guidance still points to Cycles for the strongest results, and you can consult the documentation included with the add-on for setup details.
Real City offers a premium option that adds more presets along with the creator's own .blend files, on top of the standard add-on. The base add-on generates procedural buildings with various elements and procedurally generated textures, and includes documentation. A demo video is also available for reference. For a full breakdown of what the standard and premium options each contain, check the developer's page for the latest details.
