Day-night settings for child element materials

Buildings created using BuildingGen's embedded content feature two types of material settings for child elements: daytime and nighttime materials. By adjusting these material settings, you can create a look that is appropriate for different times of day.

  1. In iClone, access the New Buildingpanel by navigating to Plugins > Building Gen > New Building.
  2. Select the building style you want to apply to your building generation.
  3. Adjust the Basic and Detailed Settings according to your preferences.
  4. In the Time setting, selecting the day icon enables the building's child elements to use materials suitable for daytime, while selecting the night icon switches them to nighttime materials.
  5. Building with daytime settings.

    Building with nighttime settings.

Day-night settings are accessible in the following panels:

Note:

  • The day-night settings will only be enabled if child elements within the building style have materials with day or night settings applied in the BuildingGen Packager panel.
  • Child element materials with “Day & Night” enabled are used in both daytime and nighttime mode while using BuildingGen.
