Modular road

Hello,

Just saw this and it blew me away…

Is this possible in blender (specifically the roads) to do something like this? I’m trying to make a road layout for a city and this would be amazing. I’m guessing it would involve geometry nodes which i haven’t really tried yet. I know there’s a product to buy with a road that follows curve but I really want to understand how it works so if there’s a tutorial anyone knows about please let me know.

Yes it is, i am pretty sure. And there is a traffic add-on for Blender already. But…this is a lot of work and you need a lot of knowledge in different areas.
You could e.g. use animation nodes or/and geometry nodes and/or python to do such a thing. But even if you are a Pro in all these areas, this would take months to realize…

But there is for sure no tutorial out there for this complex thing. There are some tutorials out there which solve some small aspects…but not more.

And tbh - just to learn geometry nodes that you can say “i know now 50% of GN” will take more than a month, because it is pretty complex, needs a lot of math and a lot of 3D-Vector understanding.

Yeah, I decided to try traditional modelling instead - using alt+D mostly to save memory.
