Developer’s Description

By Ben Tibbetts

Generate maps and create cityscapes.

This program randomly generates maps that, upon being imported into Bryce, produce realistic cityscapes. To create your own cities simply run the program, capture a screenshot of the randomly-created map that pops up, and import the file of that screenshot into a Bryce terrain, and voila. Within seconds, you will have created your own complex urban environment without having to design and model a single building.

Summary

Annoying and abrupt resolution change but it works.

Pros
It does work if you already have software like Bryce.
Cons
The abrupt resolution change cannot be good for your computer. Probably just speeds up the generatio a little, why bother?
Summary
I liked it because it worked but I didn't like the temporary resolution change and it is probably confusing if like me, you don't always read the 'Read Me' file first.To make it work you have to use the f letter key on your keyboard [between D and G] with the down arrow and spacebar keys to perform the function of regenerating a city map and making a copy of that map in the software folder. That was fine however, the bitmap created had to be converted to a jpeg and imported into Bryce 5.5 after creating a new terrain. To do that you click the mountain icon, [3rd top left], then E for edit, then in editing tools click picture, then load, then navigate to and import the city map, copy and paste imported map from 1st to 2nd window,click apply and and your map should appear in the centre screen and your city in the preview on the right. Click the tick on bottom right of your screen to import into your original terrain. You can then render the image, then click edit at the top of your bryce screen and then the little arrow at the side to bring down the materials pallette to add texture of some sort to your selected city. All this is not very obvious to anyone who downloads this software expecting a city to unfold before them. Perhaps that is the most annoying thing about it.
What is the point?

Cons
To start off, every time this program starts, it changes the screen resolution to something like 640x480. In fact, it is so small, the screenshot you see when you click the "View Larger" button at the top of this page is actual size! After it accually runs, it's useless! All it does is fill the small screen with circles and squares.

Good

Pros
Does exaclty what it says and does it well. <p> <p>The people moaning below didn't read the description properly. It says that it generates files to import into Bryce, and it does.
Cons
It changes your screen resolution but that takes seconds to change back so not really a problem.
Summary
good - if you know what it is

Cons
Summary
Good Program
shadradsonJanuary 6, 2007
Pros
It does exactly what it says. It creates bitmaps to import into BRYCE and does it well, It never said it would make 3d landscapes by itself.
Cons
It changes your resolution instead of making a window.

*read the 'pros' *

Pros
none, it totally sucks
Cons
if there was a "0 star" option, i wouldve chosen it. all the program is is just a bunch of randomized circles and squares, and it puts your computer screen into an 800x600 size. if you click the download button, you're just wasting your time.
