not that the world really needs more computer science conferences, but i keep wondering if there’s appetite for one focused on procedural generation/generative computation, i.e. the union of PCG, generative art, program synthesis, &c.

mostly, it would really help to have a name for this field that people don’t mistake for consisting entirely of text2image statistical models

Experimenting with generating procedural geometry using Voronoi polyhedra in real time...

One of the colours of block is also smooth-shaded, just to show that can be controlled. What this ultimately needs is some seriously funky shaders attaching, but that's not really a priority ATM.

Up to 50-odd polyhedra doesn't seem to strain the generation system, but I need to scale it up to 1000s and and see how slow it gets. I probably will ultimately need a spatial subdivision. I wonder if Unity's own scene graph would cover that efficiently, or I need to roll my own...?
