Structure - Procedural System
From:  z-studios.com
This middleware solution for procedural city generation (which we were talking about a few weeks ago here) looks spectacular! Thanks, Jabir, for the tip on this amazing development. It will be very interesting to see what games pick up on this technology, and if any of them choose to open up any of this to users by way of mod tools. Or - file this under crazy dreams - but maybe the creators of the tech will release some kind of “Personal Learning Edition” for non-commercial use... Read Full Story

This fascinating 3D animated short was created in about 10 months by a group of Supinfocom students: Romain Jouandeau, Adrien Chartie, Gilles Mazieres and Fabien Thareau.
