Lots of wise observations in TFA. 'Most people probably do not directly register it, but we are great pattern recognition machines, and to make procedural generation believable the patterns we face on daily basis should be present.' Absolutely true. Most artists know this, but are unable to effectively describe these patterns. Instead, these patterns 'posses' them, and from this possession comes the art. Its kinda like the car driving the motorist. 'For me, this process resembles painting: first, you make very wide and general brush strokes and only then, when you are satisfied with that stage, you start refining and adding specifics.' A simple observation, but very true. The student mistake is to obsess over details (small features) before the layout (large features) phase is complete. The lack of an undo in oil painting taught me a lot about process.
