Building Tools Wiki

Purpose

Building Tool is a blender addon created with the purpose of simplifying and automating the process of creating building exteriors.

Audience

Building tool is aimed at providing value to:

  • Game Developers that need a quick way to create assets.
  • Archvis specialists that need quick modular buildings for use in renders e.g as background.
  • General 3D Artists that need assets to place in their scene for rendering still images or animations.

Motivation

The development of building tools arose with the need to quickly create modular buildings for a game I was designing. Building tools was initially inspired by an addon for 3DS MAX called GhostTown.

A lot has changed since then, I have drawn inspiration from other sources and the scope of the addon has grown. Hopefully with this growth, Building Tool will become an essential tool to an ever-growing audience.

Future Goals

It's always exciting to think about the future. The most important goal for Building Tools is to be a stable smooth working product that users enjoy. It is also my hope that building tool will nurture a community of both developers and artists that will allow it to grow beyond itself.
