Thanks for sharing!
It was very interesting to follow the empirical approach taken to solving the problem in the paper, and the fact that it was inspired by GIS statistical research.

I've not read the entire paper yet but the video was very impressive!

good job! it would be nice to know how long it took to finish the program!

That is absolutely stunning, great job! Very impressive performance as well I must say. Thank you for sharing!

Wonderful results, amazing technique. Absolutely love it!

You guys are unbelievable - that's hands-down the best large-scale tree rendering I have seen.

Without question, astounding! Great work!

Absolutely amazing I'm going to have to try and have a go at this.. once I even manage to get a big enough terrain working to make it worth while!

SUPER impressive, great work!!

Wow, that's awsome. You win!

Remarkable work. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you very much, I will definitely look at this.

Wow! Very interesting and very impressive. Thanks for sharing this one!

Very nice!

Just out of curiosity, is it possible to dynamically color sections of the forest? For example, tinting a section brown to simulate unhealthy trees?

You know, people, including gamers -- and programmers especially -- could just go outside for once...

...NAH!!!


J/K!

the best idea will be to add a lightmap for the brown color, but a unhealthy tree isn´t only brown. he has no leaves too.

Congratulations! You have created a whole planet. How did you called it?
