Installation

1. Download metropol-1.0.0.zip from your Superhive library. Do not unzip it.
2. Drag it into the Blender window, or use Edit > Preferences > Get Extensions > ⌄ (top right) > Install from Disk.
3. Press N in the 3D Viewport and open the Metropol tab.

Quick start

1. Click Add City. A first city with a river takes about ten seconds on a recent PC.
2. In the operator panel (bottom left) pick a Layout and the number of blocks, or draw your own roads as a mesh or curve and click From Roads.
3. Pick a Style for the whole city (Modern Metropolis, European Old Town, Sunbelt, Night City or Gritty).
4. Pick a Sky and click Set Sky: it sets the sky, the sun, the exposure and the lit windows.
5. Place your camera and render, or click Real-time Look and fly around in EEVEE.

Demo scenes

Metropol_Demo_1.0.zip holds a river city with seven cameras and a town built from drawn roads. Install the add-on first, then open a scene. Textures are packed into the files.

Manual

The full manual is Metropol_Manual.pdf in the product download: districts, every panel setting, styles, skies, fog and haze, City from Roads, performance and troubleshooting.

If something looks wrong

If the sliders do nothing after opening a file, or the city shows bare grey boxes, click Help & Info > Repair City. Set Viewport Quality to Balanced or Light while you work; renders always show everything.
