  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. This one is on 3D texture synthesis:

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