May 2011. A group of nature-loving nerds have a short glimpse of paradise. Alas! The dream slip through their fingers, vanishing in the dark. All remains is sadness and legends: "I was here, I saw the trees..."

Six years later, they are back:

Strands model implemented for 3D tree generator

Extended Borchert-Honda (BH) model implemented in 3D tree generator

Nice. Now we just need a few hundred in a scene; all a bit different, proper shadowing and with seamless LODing up to billboards. C'mon, I m dreaming again

[Jagerbomber]

Nah, even better, No billboards!.... 

[Revolver]

Nice!

Nice! Devs are on fire. Great idea on random pics, no matter what, can be any thing even silly, make a continue line for supporters be in contact with the devs job.
Cant wait for see some image with new imaginery in a place between mountains and valleys line Switzerland. The image we saw before was in Madrid, big city.

Great to see the emissive textures are back

[ZeosPantera]

(OSM has powerlines data)

[josem75]

Great. So OSM have those data.
I remember i made some sugerences time ago talking about array, for lines of objetcs like those powerlines, or chairlifts at ski stations.
But i was not sure if the data was covering those things. It seems yes. And not only powerlines, i was checking righ now, and i think ski stations chairlifts data are also there.
So Outerra can be filled with powerlines and ski station. Now its a matter to get a system for make automatically the cords between lines, and also chairlifts, and even chairs moving along the cords at sky stations, as i explained in those sugerences time ago.

I've noticed that not only OSM has data for where the power lines are, it also says the voltage and number of wires sometimes

Oh boy, it's nice to see the progress Outerra has made in the 4 years I've been watching it from the shadows.

Enhanced bathymetry data for US coasts 90m source resolution vs previous 500m

[DenisJ]

I'm wondering if they chose US just because, or due to it having the only publicly available dataset in higher resolution...
Anyways, looks fabulous!
