Quote - Eh. I hasten to point out that everything I've managed so far could be replicated with simple image-maps. So far it's merely cleverness for the sake of being clever. There's an image in here soon, though. I'm working up a little series (first one is already posted, but over where the fairies hang out).

 

The difference for simple image maps comes when you want to zoom in on your textures. At this point image maps could become blocky where as procedural should not.

It would be interesting to know how memory usage increases for lots of objects using the two different techniques.
