When I started CGI in 1998 we all ready had procedurals. So I don't know how long procedurals have been around. LW's been around since the Amiga days, they'd know.

eventually I'll work allegorithmic out ,maybe. for now I'm going forward getting ready to ,make textures with photoshop ,zBrush .

would be real nice if someone would make procedural app that's easy to use. procedural could be a lot better n faster .

and it would be killer if we could trash the flat 2D UVMaps and have a 3D UV Map so there are no bloody seems.
