So far, the buildings generated were accurately scaled. On August 2018 I started experimenting with AR, which I discovered that a real-size skyscraper in AR isn’t that easy to view on a phone! So I added a Minimize mode, where the buildings could be scaled down to be viewable on an AR-detected floor.

The implementation is admittedly a hack, and since some parts of the code couldn’t figure out what to do with the new scale, issues with z-fighting and object placement appeared. But on the whole, it’s a version I can show to people on my phone, so I just need to clean up my code.

Since I was able to generate a building on any physics-enhanced surface in Unity, I can add the code into any scene, click-and-drag on a physics enabled surface and generate a building on it. Thus, when I got Gaia around the end of June, I was able to generate procedural buildings within a generated landscape scene.

Added a Post-Processing Stack effect for fun.

On June, I experimented with generating different types of buildings. The new building type is a South East Asian shophouse that is commonly seen in Malaysia and Singapore; the row of shops chained in a single long building that has 2-5 floors on top with a shaded 5-footway or “kaki lima” on the ground floor front.

Around April, I was trying out one of Brackey’s tutorials where he demonstrated a Raycasting code to direct AI units. I modified the code to be able to create a selected area by mouse, and to generate a building out of that area.
