Just some previews I rendered while I was making it =)

Preview 1


The very first tower version. Tried adding windows, but it looked like poo and so I moved on.

Preview 2


Changed the base to be 3x3 and added some scaling down as the tower grows.

Preview 3


Now, there are 3 different wall types: a 4x4, a 3x3 and a 2x2. They interchange randomly (although here come pretty much in sequence). It was a major pain to implement, and I still feel smart for figuring it out.

Preview 4


The major change here is that now tower has both scaled down and scaled up levels, so, as it grows, it can get either thinner or wider. Also, added a bunch of small details.

Preview 4


Removed some of the details to make the generation faster (will re-add them for the final version). Also, now it finally features some side towers =D

Some minor size fixes and brought back the bricks =D

... And final


For the final version, i ended up removing the bricks after all, because it was too massive and slow (if you look closely, the base is 2x wider now, so way more rules).

Cool. I hadn't hear of Structure Synth before, but now I would definitely like to give it a go one day!
