Roof & Tile

by GK3D in Models


'Roof & Tile' is a generator and an asset collection of tiles to build your roof. The tiles are real world objects and placed onto your roof with the functionality of Geometry Nodes. This is not a collection of textures or UV maps. Using tiles or tile collections has many advantages for the creation of the roof. Here is a summery of the features you will appreciate:

  • A collection of 70 tiles in 10 tile sets, all asset browser ready
  • The main tiles which cover the roof come in subdivided or low resolution form. This allows for detailed closeups or for large scale roofing like a cathedral.
  • Ridge and hip tiles as well as edge tiles are supported
  • Placement of the tiles supports control for the amount of overlap, amount of offset between rows, horizontal gap between tiles and also random angles for y- and z-axis.
  • A 'Dual Tile' approach for so called 'Monk & Non' tiles allows even spacing of top and bottom tiles.
  • On the same 'Dual Tile' feature a set of 10 basic design patterns are implemented. They can be combined freely and thus allow infinte designs with two tiles of the same size.
  • The file comes with 5 'Roof Primitves' which you can shape or size to your liking. Or you use your own design.
  • A simple roof plane selector is included. This is helpful if you have to split your designs or want to use different render views.
  • Beyond the 'Roof Primitives' with planar faces the file also contains two cone roofs with two different types of tiling: circular or Fibonacci spiraling. On the circular tiling you have some 'Dual Tile' design options. On the Fibonacci spiraling you can play with the base angle.
  • Also included are assets of two bat and two pike dormers
  • Accessories: As a beginning you will find a modern chimey, ventilation, hook, snow fence, gutter and two windows. The snow fence and gutter come with their own Geometry Node.
  • Then there is slate. This roofing material and the way it is placed uses a variation of the geometry node 'GN Roof & Tile'.

This product will be offered in two variants. Both have the same functionality but the provided assets will be different. The basic variant contains the following tile sets:

  • Large Tile
  • Flat Tile
  • Double Pan Tile
  • Beaver Tail Set with 6 different types
  • Pan Tile
  • Double Trough Tile
  • Arab Tile - Attention, use design ID 1 for this 'Dual Tile'
  • Crimped Tile

The complete variant will include the photovoltaic tile, the slate, the cone roofs, the bat and pike dormers and all the current roof accessories: Spires, hooks, chimneys, snow fences, ventilation, gutters and windows. Be sure to have a look at the documentation and the related videos.

One last word. The goal of this tool is to become the most comprehensive, flexible and scalable tool for roof and tile. This is just the beginning.
