The extrusion step of your total is precisely how I do hull details when I build my starship models. Wherever I can find a good, head on/orthographic image or screenshot of a practical model, I'll knife or loop cut along prominent detail lines, and extrude. The result is usually quite good. Great minds think alike.... and so do ours. 😁

Loved this video! An additional thing for those who, like me, ran into this issue when trying this: I applied it by using it to make a server rack and wanted to add servers with a different height. In order to do that you can copy the node setup within the node group except for the collection info node and make a seperate collection for the bigger items. If you now connect the mesh line you can add a transform node between it and the first collections instance on points node to then offset it to your liking. You can still use the same random value setup for the instance index.

Thank you for sharing! Not only is your tutorial style simple, clear and easy to understand, but you're referring me to more tutorial makers I've never heard of, which really helps my learning curve! Thank you! You have a new subscriber/fan :)

Not that level of data. Cycles could render it no problem, but Blender’s viewport would crawl and the way Houdini handles data is far more forgiving. Blender can certainly do chunks of cities though, but you need to optimize and plan it out.
