Download Night And Day Procedural City Buildings v03.0 for Blender on Windows and Mac, a comprehensive Geometry Nodes-based toolkit designed to instantly generate highly detailed, fully customizable urban architecture with a specific focus on lighting transitions. From sun-drenched glass skyscrapers at noon to glowing, neon-lit cyberpunk megablocks at midnight, this addon automates the creation of complex building facades, window grids, and rooftop details, eliminating the tedious manual modeling required to build convincing cityscapes.

Key Features of Night And Day Procedural City Buildings v03.0:

• Master “Time of Day” Slider: A unified control that simultaneously drives the sun position, HDRI intensity, and building material states. Watch your entire cityscape seamlessly transition from bright daylight to golden hour, and finally to a glowing nighttime metropolis with a single drag.
• Smart Procedural Window Grids: Automatically generates complex window patterns across building facades, intelligently avoiding structural columns and corners. Includes a randomized “Lights On/Off” system for night scenes, ensuring no two windows look exactly alike.
• Dynamic Emissive Materials: Built-in PBR shaders that automatically switch from reflective, transparent glass during the day to warm, emissive interior lighting at night, complete with varied color temperatures (warm yellows, cool office whites, neon accents).
• Modular Facade Details: Instantly populate building surfaces with parametric details such as balconies, air conditioning units, ledges, window frames, storefronts, and awnings, all adapting to the building’s dimensions.
• Diverse Architectural Styles: Choose from 20+ pre-configured styles including Modern Glass Towers, Mid-Century Brick Apartments, Brutalist Concrete Blocks, Art Deco Skyscrapers, and Industrial Warehouses.
• Rooftop & Ground Floor Generators: Automatically populate the top and bottom of buildings with logical assets. Roofs get helipads, water tanks, HVAC units, and antennas, while ground floors generate shopfronts, doors, and street-level lighting.
• City Block Scatter Tool: Draw a curve or define a boundary, and the addon will automatically generate a dense, varied city block, handling building heights, setbacks, and street-level spacing automatically.
• Neon & Signage Integration (v03.0): New module to procedurally attach glowing neon signs, billboards, and holographic ads to building facades, perfect for cyberpunk or futuristic night scenes.
• LOD & Optimization: Generate high-poly hero buildings for cinematic architectural visualization, or switch to optimized, instanced low-poly versions for real-time game engines and massive city overviews.
• Non-Destructive Workflow: Every parameter (building height, floor count, window style, time of day) remains fully editable via Geometry Nodes. Change a building’s footprint, and the details update instantly.

Perfect For:

• Architectural Visualizers creating stunning day and night exterior renders of urban environments and skylines.
• Environment Artists building dense, believable cities for films, animations, and video games.
• Cyberpunk & Sci-Fi Creators generating neon-drenched, futuristic megacities with glowing facades.
• Game Developers populating open-world urban maps with optimized, modular building assets.
• Motion Designers creating dynamic fly-throughs that transition smoothly from day to night.
• Concept Artists rapidly blocking out urban compositions and exploring different architectural densities.

System Requirements:

• Blender: 3.6, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4+ (Geometry Nodes required; optimized for Blender 4.x).
• OS: Windows 10/11 (64-bit) or macOS 10.15+.
• RAM: 16GB minimum (32GB+ highly recommended for generating massive city blocks with high detail).
• Render Engine: Fully compatible with Cycles (recommended for accurate glass and emissive lighting) and Eevee (excellent for real-time day/night previewing).

Installation:

1. Download the Night And Day Procedural City Buildings v03.0 .zip file.
2. Open Blender and go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons.
3. Click Install…, select the downloaded file, and enable the checkbox next to Geometry Nodes: Night And Day Buildings.
4. Access via the Add Menu > Mesh > City Building or the dedicated panel in the 3D Viewport Sidebar (N-panel) under the Urban tab.

What’s New in v03.0?

• Neon & Signage Module: Added a dedicated system for generating glowing signs, billboards, and storefront logos that automatically align to building facades and window grids.
• Advanced Light Randomizer: The “Lights On” system now supports color temperature variations, allowing you to mix warm residential lights with cool commercial office lights on the same building.
• New Architectural Presets: Added 5 new styles, including “Asian Dense Residential,” “Eastern European Brutalism,” and “Futuristic Eco-Tower.”
• Improved Glass Shader: Upgraded the daytime glass material to include better reflection, refraction, and dirt/smudge masks for more photorealistic results.
• Performance Optimization: Rewrote the instancing logic for rooftop details and AC units, reducing viewport lag by 45% when generating large city blocks.
• Blender 4.4 Support: Full compatibility with the latest Geometry Nodes simulation fields and attribute handling.

Note:

Night And Day Procedural City Buildings v03.0 is specifically engineered to solve the lighting challenges of urban environments. The Master Time of Day Slider is a game-changer for ArchViz artists, as it not only changes the sun angle but also automatically adjusts the interior window lights—turning them off during the day and fading them in at dusk. The addon also features a “District Mixer” tool, allowing you to paint different architectural styles onto a city grid (e.g., financial district glass towers transitioning into older brick residential zones), ensuring your procedural cities feel organic and historically layered rather than randomly generated.

Night and Day Procedural Buildings is a collection of 25 different types of city buildings that can be customized just by simply tweaking parameters inside the modifiers tab.

Starting from one of the base models use the geometry nodes parameters to obtain a lot of variations of the same building.

You can modify the building’s height, length and width…

… determine the amount of wall props (such as blinds, air conditioners, satellite disks etc.)…

… and you can turn on the lights and animate them.

It’s also possible to add fire escapes, elevators, roof elements, dirt, empty walls and advertising signs.

For each model you can play with the 22 available parameters to create an infinite variety of similar buildings.

Version 3.0, which requires  Blender 4.1, has an improved window light material for night scenes that shows the interiors of the buildings. Interiors are not modeled but faked with a technique called Parallax Mapping that creates the illusion of depth.

Version 3.1 has the same features of the previous and it is compatible with Blender 4.2.

I tried to keep the poly count of these models as low as possible without sacrificing much of their quality. So this product is ideal to create large scale city environments.

Models are ready to render either with Cycles or EEVEE.
