This was mentioned in Ep.38. How do you take even a completed fully realized painting and turn it into 3d, such that a player can interact? (Go behind, look underneath, see spots in the game where something in the painting was hiding it.) Let alone take just a mental image of e.g. Minas Tirith from a textual description of gates and rings and a mountain and turn it into explorable territory.

Interestingly, there is a fairly recent history of turning paintings into 3d.
E.g., turning Picasso paintings into sculptures:
Also, long ago, I think at the National Gallery of Art in DC, various paintings were turned into 3d scenes you could actually walk among.

There is a fascinating rendering (on TikTok) of e.g. Woman with a Parasol turned into 3d with AI. See e.g. "recreating masterpieces in 3d".
