Block City

Block City build in Three... A random metropolis based on the algorithm from “Random City 1:The Plan”. The random investors didn’t seem to care for streets or windows from later city plans. What they did care about was shadows and colours. “We want city that cast shadows! And the colours must be pretty!”

The hundreds of thousands of possible palettes are generated from 16 preselected pretty colours, the algorithm selects between 2-14 colours to create a palette.

Other features are the different camera angles (above , front side, corner) and camera projection types (perspective and orthographic).
