  cool! Now put it into an eink picture frame that changes every hour forever.

    I really love this idea. The fact that the output is vector based means that you could actually simply have it slowly and continuously draw outwards in an infinite panorama. Would make a great screen saver.

      Yeah, with some parallax too

  The actual hills look really strong. The worst parts of it are the blocky background hills and the repetitive, sometimes glitchy trees. To be honest, I don't think it will be very long before all art we see is just computer generated in some twisted orwellian landscape.

  They remind me of the randomly generated maps in Soldier of Fortune 2[1], lots of steep hills with trees sparsely placed around, and the occasional building. I think SOF2 did the steep hills to cut off viewable area to make rendering less intensive. I think that is also why the random maps tend to be very foggy.
