I am going to have to look at Suicidator again. $15 is a darn good deal. He is also working on exporting to Unity so he should be open to work with getting it to directly export to T3D. This could save a LOT of time for city levels, and model generation.

Both are good finds. The Max script has some absolutely crazy options for "high-poly" buildings.
What's bugging me a little is that they don't seem to show examples of cities built on hilly terrain - they're all built on a flat plane. No city on Earth is built on a flat plane....

I thought the same thing but since the buildings are generated from the planes I was thinking of morphing some and see what happens with a curved mesh

Sweet, Britt! Thanks for that test - basically, create arbitrary "ground" geometry and Ghost Town should handle it.I'll try to remember to test out the Blender script tonight.
