What is in the download

• blend/: the Asset Browser library for Blender 5.2 or later, with the procedural materials: all 136 pieces, each marked as an asset with a preview, sorted into 7 catalogues (Towers, Modules, Signs, Billboards, Clutter, Rooftop, Street).
• previews/: a preview image of every piece.
• index.html: a visual index of every piece; open it in a browser.
• README.txt and LICENSE.txt.

Getting started

• Unzip the download, then in Blender open Edit > Preferences > File Paths > Asset Libraries, add the blend/ folder, and drag pieces from the Asset Browser into your scene. You can also open the .blend directly.
• Everything is in metres with Z up and transforms applied, one object per piece. Turn on snapping with a 0.5 m increment: facade bays are 4 m wide, storeys 4 m tall and the shop podium 5 m, so bays, corner columns, parapets and roof slabs line up without nudging.
• The towers are ready to place whole, with the pivot at street level in the middle of the podium. The modules build towers of your own; the signs, clutter, rooftop and street pieces dress them.
• Object names are NRC_ and materials NRC_.

Day and night

The neon tubes, sign panels and billboards always glow. The flats' windows, the offices and the street lamps light up when your scene has a custom property af_glow set to 1 (Scene Properties > Custom Properties > New, name it af_glow, value 1). Without it, or at 0, they stay dark, for a day scene. The night shots in the gallery use 1.

Materials

72 procedural materials with rain runs and soot, driven by world-metre UVs so they keep their scale on any piece and can be baked. Car and vending-machine glass is see-through.
