A collection of building models in the Art of Illusion scripting language. Most buildings can be scaled
and the number of floors adjusted by parameters found at the top of the script. Some have additional
options available. Designed primarily as background objects, to fill skylines or large cities in the mid
to far distance. Some higher detail and appropriate for foreground objects. Textures easily modified to
suit your needs.
Feel free to use for your projects, films, wall art, or whatever else you want, free of charge. Credit or a
link back appreciated if practical. All models provided as is, with no guarantee of correctness or quality.
