CityGenerator v0.80601 for XSI 6.02 (32bit)

This new version needs no more installation step, just execute the citygenerator_interface.js from your XSI editor.
Take a look at the new video and some screenshots.






NOTE: after unit creation, remember to change the BMP file with a render fo your view. I'm working to make it automatically. Maybe on the next release.

Download from here.

CityGenerator v0.80523 for XSI 6.02(download)

UPDATE (IMPORTANT): to install, put the folder into your Softimage-User folder, usually is something like "C:\users\username\Softimage\SoftimageVersion\"
Here there are others folders like Applications and Plugins.
Final folder for the installation has to be:
"C:\users\username\Softimage\SoftimageVersion\builder"
where "builder" contains all the CityGenerator files and folders


Finally, a downloadable version for XSI 6.02
This is a very rough version. So, sorry about any bugs ;)

City Generator (blobDetection + buildings_generator)

Finally, I mixed my two plugins to create this CityGenerator in XSI: by a blob detection on a map (plus an elevation map in b&w) it's possible to create the layout for the buildings and with my buildings_generator it's possible to create any kind of building using a library of "units" (a unit is the smaller part of a building) or creating from scratch.
Take a look at this video.

blob detection in XSI with C++ and JScript - UPDATE

UPDATE VIDEO: http://www.paoloemilioselva.it/blogimgs/mycodes/detection2.mov

Ok, I changed the core of this plugin.
All the detection now is done with C++ (a custom command to detect blobs from an image) and the interface to use it is done in JScript in XSI.
Take a look at this video
http://www.paoloemilioselva.it/blogimgs/mycodes/detection.mov

this is the first step to locate buildings directly from a google map (blob detection, edge, some filter to correct and clean image, etc, etc) or just a simple motion capture into XSI or what ever you want with a plugin like this. :)
