Buildings HD Has Been RELEASED!

July 01, 2019

After 3 years of development, we are pleased to announce that Buildings HD is now available for purchase via OrbxDirect!

Buildings HD overhauls the autogen buildings throughout the world with all-new, 4K, regionally-accurate texturesand FPS-friendly 3D models. What Trees HD did for vegetation, Buildings HD does for your sim's structures: It replaces the old, default textures and models with beautiful, authentic, highly detailed new ones to lend a new depth of realism to the landscape across the globe.

Buzzing the rooftops, approaches over cities, and taxiing at urban airports has never looked so real, with textures four times more detailed than before! All new textures feature ambient occlusion shadows, stunning new night lighting, high-res rooftops derived from drone photography, and more. We’ve pulled out all the stops to really take the autogen system to a whole new level!

A monumental undertaking three years in the making, lead developer Scott Armstrong has painstakingly overhauled over 900 texture sheets, containing 3,860 individual building textures. During project development, Scott traveled to over a dozen countries throughout the Americas, Europe, and Asia to take on-location source photos, resulting in remarkably authentic architectural variations. The difference is especially apparent in Global regions which have never before seen the full Orbx region treatment: Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and South America now, for the first time ever, feature buildings that are highly accurate to their true-life counterparts.

Additionally, FS legend Bill Womack has lent his 3D modeling skills in completely overhauling over 400 3D models in the default 3D building library! Those clunky-looking low-poly default water towers, generic fast food restaurants, apartment buildings, and blurry-looking factories will be replaced with brand new beautiful models that are at once highly detailed and performance-optimized. Barns, religious structures, shopping malls, gas stations, and more have been redone to blend in with the new textures.
