That's not just an application for procedural cities, that's Houdini (http://www.sidefx.com/ http://www.sidefx.com/), a relatively well-known 3D modeling, animation and rendering tool based on the node-based (a.k.a. functional) approach. I investigated them, and while I found the tool itself very powerful, its language is not a proper general-purpose functional language, and I don't think it's turing-complete (if you exclude their integrated Python scripting).
- agumonkey 11y agoYeah, I didn't imply it was a tool dedicated to this task, it's just a non-traditional example of dataflow (most of the time I see signal, maybe image composition, very regular data types). You're right that the node-based part is not a proper GPFP. I just wanted to link a 'complex' application of the visual ~functional (if piping is function composition is correct) kind.
