Breeze Blocks

by Youdodesign in Modifier Setups

INSTALATION

Download file to a "YDD ressource" folder that you create then add this folder to your asset libraries paths (Blender Preferences/File Paths/Asset Libraries/path). To use simply drag into your scene from the asset browser window, like you would any other asset. note that for the layout generator (geometry nodes set up) you need to drag it from the asset brower window to a default object in the 3D viewport to apply it to the said object, a cube or a single vertice will do nicely.

LAYOUT GENERATOR

The layout generator is a Geometry Node set up that has been painstakingly constructed to provide you with the most creative freedom with the easiest interface. You won't have to go under the hood to to get the most out of it, but if you want to, that's not a problem.


Block Selection:
Gives you 3 ways to select the blocks you are going to use.
A - Individual block(s):
Use up to 5 models for your layout and specify them individualy from the Breeze Block model pack.

TIP: Reuse blocks several times in the list and change the order of the blocks to create your perfect layout.

B - Collection:
Select between set collections for your layout or specify your own collection.
Position & Sizing:
Lets you specify how the layout is positioned in relation to its origin and the number of rows and columns that you require for your layout.
Grout settings:
Remove the outer edges of the mortar and set it's thickness & depth. To do without set to 0.
Layout:
By combining layout order & rotation pattern you'll create all kinds of different layouts. See below for more explaination.
Materials:
Either use the materials provided in the material pack or use your own.

ORDER

Standard Continuous Hor. lines Ver. lines Frame Random

This refers to the path along wich blocks are out, if there is only one path (including dashed line) then the blocks will be laid out in sequence (1,2,3, ect...) along that path. if there is several path (ver. & Hor. lines) each block will be laid on it's own path.

ROTATION

None Inc. 90 Inc. 180 CW Inc. 180 CCW Radial array Random

Instances are incrementaly rotated by a specified angle, clock-wise or counter clock-wise. This creates a pattern over the layout that complements the "order" setting.

MODEL PACK

Most of the models presented here are based on existing references, so they are perfect for Archviz. We have averaged the dimensions of all models and rounded of to 20x20x6cm but you can change that throught scaling.
