Flex Road Generator

A geometry node modifier that transforms meshes and curves into roads.

Works with Blender 3.4 and newer.

This is a Geometry Nodes modifier, not an addon.

6 examples:

  1. Nature (scattering)
  2. City (bridge)
  3. Two Tunnels
  4. Simple Road
  5. Simple Railway
  6. Simple road with bus stops

Main functionalities:

  1. Mesh or curve to road : UV ready, custom curve profile
  2. Instancing along the curve : anchor x control, random
  3. Scattering: to the target or to the last mesh
  4. Bridge support generator
  5. Crossroads
  6. Trimming (Instance, Mesh) and more...

Features:

  1. All components are distinct
  2. Reorderable components

Current limitations:

  1. A mesh generated from very low angle curves may contain issues.
  2. Components number influence performance.

Curves can be placed manually or drawn using the curve draw tool. The roads are customizable and can be edited in the modifier tab.

Can we transfer the roads we made with this tool to game engines without damaging their UVs?

Yes you can You need first convert to mesh, before enable realize instances node. Check this faq : https://blendermarket.com/products/flex-road-generator/faq Get newest version on blendermarket : https://blendermarket.com/products/flex-road-generator

If I draw 2 splines I can't get the meshes to create an intersection. They just draw 2 roads that overlap, is there something I need to do?
E
EasyNodes 2023-06-25 13:56:17 UTC
crossroads can be created through a mesh, but not through splines. if the vertices have more than 3 edges, an intersection will appear. you can write to me via direct if you can't do it.

I am very glad that this asset was useful to you! As for new features, I'm not actively working on this asset right now as I'm making another asset generator. But I would like to know what specific features you want to see in the asset, maybe (but not exactly) will be added in the future. You can tell about features in detail via direct message. Maybe some already exists and you need to explain how it can be done with existing nodes.

This is by far the most complete Node Road Generator you will find in Blender. Road, bridges, buildings, trees, street lamps, tunnels, railroads. Name it ,it has everything and more. I am a complete newbie in blender and had some issues exporting to FBX but Easynodes went the extra mile to help me out, he even made me a step by step video to solve my problem. Not only this guy sells a blender project that could easily be sold for 5 to 10 times more but he will spend time to get sure your 10 dollars are well spent. Trust him blindfolded!
