Isometric Building Generator

Make isometric pixel art buildings for city builders, farm games and strategy maps. Pick a type and a seed and get a building on a footprint of 32 by 16 pixel tiles, with windows, a door and a roof that fit. Set the width, depth, floors, roof, wall material and colours, add chimneys, awnings, signs, vines, snow or night lights, and download a transparent PNG. Pro adds day and night pairs and town packs of twelve matching buildings with footprints and anchors.

Pro · Day and night versions of every building, and town packs of 12 different buildings in the same look, each as a PNG plus one sprite sheet and a JSON file with footprints and ground anchors. See plans

A row of buildings with the same type and look but other seeds, so you can see how a town made from these settings would feel.

What this makes

Isometric pixel art buildings for city builders, farm games, strategy maps and RPG towns. Pick a type such as a house, shop, tavern, tower, castle keep, apartment block, barn or office tower, and the generator builds it on a footprint of isometric tiles with walls, windows, a door and a roof. A new seed gives a new building of the same type. Width, depth, floors, roof, walls and colours can all be set by hand.

Made for 2:1 isometric tiles

One footprint cell is a 32 by 16 pixel isometric tile, the most common size in pixel art games, and walls are 20 pixels per floor. The front wall faces down and left and the side wall down and right, with the side a little darker so the light reads the same on every building. Download at 1× and scale with nearest filtering in your engine, or at 2× or 4×.

Roofs and details

Gable, hip, mansard, flat with a parapet, castle battlements and spires, with chimneys, rooftop water tanks and air conditioners where they fit. Add shutters, a shop awning, a sign, vines, snow or lit windows for a night map.

Same building in 2D, isometric and 3D

This tool shares its building rules with the Pixel Building Generator and the 3D Building Generator. The same type and seed give the same building in all three.

Can I use them commercially?

Yes. The buildings you make are yours to use in free and commercial games. With Pro, a town pack gives you twelve buildings in one look with a sprite sheet and a JSON file of footprints and ground anchors.
