SIGGRAPH 2013 - Including Procedural Traffic Generation

There is a fun video of some of the latest computer techniques here:

Watch out for the snowballs at the end! I would like a snowball cannon on my Fer-de-Lance!

How do you think some of these methods could be integrated into the game? There are a lot of them in the video, if you could pick one. For example, the traffic generation could be used to model ships travelling between systems.

Another poll? You surprise me!

Beautiful video. The current computer techniques are really superb. I hope when the planetary landings are released, the vegetation on the planets, will enjoy the same fluidity and realism in the movements

I find the idea of procedural traffic generation fascinating, so much so that I've been able to make a career out of it so far. The SIGGRAPH paper looks interesting, and actually relevant to my work. Thanks!

Boids, by the way, are artificial life simulating flocking birds, developed by Craig Reynolds , a little bit after David Braben released the original Elite.
