I wouldn't limit this to trees, but also to rocks and boulders on other planets. And, for some research food, this one seems like a nice compromise solution, if a dedicated forest renderer is needed: https://inria.hal.science/hal-00650120/file/article.pdf

Maybe it could be done in OpenOrbiter as some special kind of "microgeometry", that is generated on the GPU.

I think the time it takes from seeing Barbara Schönberger to switching the channel again, should be a measure for German ESC fandom. It took me 35 ms (estimated).

The Dutch participant for the ESC, Joost Klein, has been ruled out of the contest because of accusations and police investigations about threatening an employee of the venue with violence. Since he was one of the favorites of this year, really weird.

You should be optimistic this time. They were even faintly visible to the naked eye inside the city here. Of course, the camera made a better picture of it.

One further bonus picture more, this time from the balcony looking west.

You have only three minutes to be remembered, so of course you need to be as attention catching as possible, without offending people. The ESC is pretty much musical trolling.

Its a classic folk instrument, pretty widespread in Europe once, a nyckelharpa or "Schlüsselfidel" in Germany.

Legally, they are NOT free. But if you turn them into game assets, it would be hard to tell where you got them. I hope I can get some nice pictures of some oldtimers next month in Faßberg, maybe I can get some some source material really for free.

The "In space, there is no such thing as a second chance" motivational poster of the Gemini program could likely fit well into your workshop as well. 😉

Happy VE-Day everyone!

So it begins.
