ABSTRACT

As a practice, procedural generation tends to draw a technical type of person. I use “technical” in the broadest sense of the term, meaning someone who is highly interested in technique, defined as the procedures involved in completing a complicated task. This doesn’t necessarily mean the task must be scientific or technological. The technique I speak of applies equally to the mathematics of graph theory and the practicalities of throwing a clay pot. An artist and an engineer are equally technical.
