Hello guys.

I thought of showing you the roof generator that I'm working on.
And, while I'm at it, to ask you some questions…
First one: how one can approach the UV mapping of this thing?
As you can see is far from ok. I tried a gazillion things
but none of them seems to work ok so far.
And the last question (see last image): Maybe I'm stupid,
but why is the grid in the perspective view up in the air?
It should be in the plane between the roof and the walls
(where the roof starts)…

Very impressive! Some of those roof shapes are just whacked and plausible.
There's at least one school like the old school!

Thanks for the appreciation.
Well, it's basically the straight skeleton of a polygon (building outline).
Here you'll find more details about this:

I have some updates on this thing since the last posts
(which was kind of long time ago)
Now it can generate roofs with arbitrary slope section (think Angkor Wat).
The UV mapping is ok now either.
Also I worked on some structure for the roof (rafters, ridges and such)
but it still needs some work.
Now I'm working on doing gable roofs, dormers etc…
