Blender's The City Generator brings Houdini-style procedural 3D city building to everyone

Bilawal Sidhu highlights The City Generator, a Blender plugin by Andreas Dürr that makes procedural 3D city modeling accessible without Houdini expertise.
- Controls city layout and procedural materials from a simple side panel
- Generates night scenes with glowing windows, street lighting, and car headlight beams
- Includes traffic simulation to bring the city to life
His take: generative AI is great for creativity but hard to control precisely — procedural 3D tools like this offer fine-grained control for building worlds exactly as intended.
