I always liked this procedurally generated nighttime cityscape by Shamus Young: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=-d2-P...

He wrote a whole article series walking you through it, plus source, etc, starting here: http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=2940

I also really liked Shamus's Project Frontier, a detailed walkthrough on generating an entire procedural world. http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=11874

He released the executable at the end of the series, and I'm still sad that, as a non-programmer, I couldn't get it to run on my computer. I would have loved to have a chance to explore the world. Some of his screencaps are mindblowing.

[ETA: Since it's not immediately obvious how to get there from the rest of the articles on Project Frontier, here's the link to the source code: http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=15808]

I really enjoyed that whole series - learned a lot about 3D programming, which is part of the field I've never touched outside of motion planning in college.
