Towards The Automatic Optimisation Of Procedural Content Generators
A talk by Michael Cook, mostly about Danesh, but also about some of the reasons behind what Danesh is trying to do.
It’s not just for looking at the simple output of your generator. It also lets you track metrics for understanding the expressive range of the generator, explore randomized exploration of the parameters, and even have it search for targeted metrics.
I want to see more tools like this, and not just for straight procedural generation. It’d be really handy to have something like this next time I have to develop a new shader or material. Or test style transfer settings.
