Very cool project and nice work! While I'm not very experienced with graphics rendering, I use a lot of computational geometry for work. I also implemented the Diamond-Square algorithm in matlab to generate randomized landscape terrain

Also I suppose this is part of the issue with “software alternatives” I find most architects by-and-large extremely _discerning_ people, composing an industry where nuance is king. In that sense if the software doesn’t do “exactly what I wa

I’m actually surprised this isn’t talked about more… it has been great interrogating the docs of unfamiliar frameworks (and giving me good references on where to go in the actual docs for more info). A better mouse trap to “Google-like sear
