Good choice, Stu. Putting it up! I'm coupling it with one of their citations that we're already reading these days, a paper by Wei and Levoy about texture synthesis.

Any other procedural modeling papers that interest you? Perhaps perlin noise?

Ben.

I think we all know the basic premise of Perlin noise, and how it can be used to create a random planet etc, so unless I find something stunning and new I don't think there would be much point. But here's another paper (you can get it through databases / IEEE on lib website):

Terrain Guided Multi-Level Instancing of Highly Complex Plant Populations

This one is on 3D texture synthesis:

I like the plant one one... and I have a good idea for a good match with it.

Okay, I've wanted to read the solid texture paper too!
