A New Beginning

It's interesting how things come together. I just recently bought a 3d printer. This technology has captivated me since reading The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson many, many years ago. I feel a little late to the party now, but I am excited to dive in. 

It was another hobby of mine that helped me take the 3d printing plunge. I've been an avid wargamer since I was a young boy. Building model airplanes and playing historical WWII battles led to Warhammer and more. I recently played Infinity on 3d printed terrain. This just captured my imagination and I knew I had to get involved!

And finally, I am an AI programmer and procedural generation is a huge interest of mine. This involves writing algorithms that can then generate content automatically according to specifications. 3d printing now opens up the possibility of not just procedurally generating virtual environments, but physical, real world environments too! 

And that makes me really excited. So please follow this blog if you're interested in coming with me on this journey of exploration!
