The holodeck may end up procedural worlds with a generative lighting and texture pass

dreamwieber outlines two paths to the 'holodeck': fully generative world models, or procedural worlds built by agents with traditional tools and engines.
He predicts a hybrid: procedural construction with generative applied as the final lighting/texture pass. He prefers procedural 3D and finds today's world models have an off-putting dream-like quality that may eventually be fixed.
