    - A powerful tool for creating stunning scenes, particularly urban environments.
    - Enables optimization of scenes for faster rendering by reducing geometry complexity and excluding objects from rendering.
    - Easy to use even for beginners.

    Requested Improvements:
    - Geometry Node to Editable Mesh Conversion: This feature would allow users to edit the geometry of nodes with greater precision, which is especially useful for optimizing scenes for rendering. By converting geometry nodes to editable meshes, the amount of geometry in the scene can be reduced, which can significantly improve rendering performance.

    - Camera Culling Implementation: This feature would automatically exclude objects from rendering that are not within the camera's view frustum. This would be especially beneficial for heavy scenes with many objects as it could drastically reduce render time.

    This is a great addon. I've never seen a city addon like this. However... I do seen room for improvements.

    The big one being... The blend file size increased to 1.8GB due to numerous duplicate textures. I had to manually optimize and remove these duplicate textures, which took me four hours. Blender lacks an efficient tool for removing multiple identical textures, making this process quite time-consuming.

    I don't want to say "False advertising", but the cities this addon generates for me don't look anywhere near as good as the screenshots on this page. The buildings look very unrealistic and have way too much repetition. I've also found the addon to be very buggy. When trying to add props there's maybe a 50/50 chance that they will appear after pressing the assign button. I get random trees and lights in the middle of roads that I can't get rid of. Some sections of road look fine in the viewport, but have big holes in them in the render. The worst bug is that, a couple of hours after adding a city to my scene, the "Edit City" button stops working completely and I can no longer select any edges, faces or verts. Making any further changes impossible. I first bought this addon over a year ago, but I haven't been able to use it in a single project yet, due to something always breaking or bugging. I think it's finally time to uninstall.

    good idea but not stable...

    Not stable at all. I have a powerful computer and everything is in beta. Render with Cycle is wayyy to heavy and evee too glitchy almost unusable.

    sorry for the 2 stars, the performance is pretty bad.

    2 stars for now because the performance is pretty bad, this is almost unusable in its current state. Crashes instantly when rendering, uses insane amounts of memory. This is the only add on I’ve ever bought that crashes my high end pc. Feel like this was rushed out for the blender market sale way before it was ready. Has potential, but I’d wait until it gets more updates.

    (blender4.1/rtx4090/64gb ram/16tb m2 ssd storage/win11) this addon has great potential but it should be in beta. i had problems with the basic extruding function, and some of the buildings i do not think where high poly. in my opinion there should be high and low poly buildings.
