Eric Mehl of Hypothetical has been busy using Gaffer’s procedural scene generation and rendering to recreate Welikia, the ecosystem of New York City before settlement by Europeans. There’s an overview of the work on Hypothetical’s website, and a discussion of the Gaffer workflow on their blog. Windows users might know Eric from his Herculean efforts to port Gaffer to Windows, and his integration of Deadline with Gaffer. Thanks for sharing, Eric!
