You think so? I'm not a graphics guy and rather ignorant of the whole
field, but when I used to build Unreal levels we had basic procedural
textures for flames and water, even in 1997. I thought the whole procedural
texture thing was a done deal and mainstream technology now. 

Or when you say "graphics" do you mean something else. I'm having a hard
time imagining any kind of use for procedural geometry other than for 
liquids and gasses (fire and water again) because non-living solids tend
not to change their topology. The exception would be trees and plants
built using the L-system type bifurcation I guess.
