Could we go even further down this rabbit hole and start procedurally generating the array of books, like if we tagged every single book?

Yeah, you could. There would be an extent of how deep you want to do that. Every single book procedural might be a bit overkill. But definitely each one of these brushes that I placed could definitely be a volume, so I don't have to manually randomize it. I'm never going to be able to randomize something as well as a computer can. So if I want true random, when you get in the mindset of setting these props down and stuff like that, I'm not placing these books. The people who lived here are placing these books, kind of thing. So you kind of want to detach yourself from, it's me, I'm some omnipotent being placing books in Star Citizen, kind of thing. So I think getting these randomized would definitely be great. And that's something I'll probably do off camera when I go back to work.
