From NY Post (and independently verified by myself): "Senate Republicans issued a supplement Thursday to their recent report on Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings — and said $6 million in wire transfers further ties the son of President-elect Joe Biden to China’s communist government. The five-page addendum focuses on former federal official John Robinson “Rob” Walker, who’s described as a “longtime business associate” of Hunter Biden." .... [ Full explanation in the link below, abridged for brevity ] ... "The report concludes that the new records “confirm the connections between the Biden family and the communist Chinese government, as well as the links between Hunter Biden’s business associates and the Russian government, and further support the Committees’ September 23, 2020 report’s finding that such relationships created counterintelligence and extortion concerns.” Neither Walker, Hunter Biden’s lawyer nor Joe Biden’s transition team immediately returned requests for comment." https://nypost.com/2020/11/19/hunter-biden-associate-got-6m-from-chinese-firm-senate-republicans/ --- Official Senate Confirmation of these findings in one-page summary format: https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/media/majority-media/johnson-grassley-release-report-on-conflicts-of-interest-investigation The full 87 page text: https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/HSGAC_Finance_Report_FINAL.pdf "Hunter Biden, Burisma, and Corruption: The Impact on U.S. Government Policy and Related Concerns" U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, U.S. Senate Committee on Finance Majority Staff Report report --- This video is from Steve Cortes twitter, you can find it here: https://twitter.com/CortesSteve/status/1330868218735562752 --- The "You'll bury us all, man" clip via "Trump War Room": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8ORlmlxVes ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Hcbv3YZpGk

So I have implemented the basic system I outlined last post regarding smooth blending between different patches of ground from an 'atlas' of textures that can each push the ground a little up or down. So I put a few test textures in there and one of them was 'Vines', which wasn't really trying to be trees, but I jacked up the amount it displaces the ground way more than it should be at and boom, kinda looks like trees. This got me thinking, maybe I can use this strategy, with better textures, to create the dense ground cover I expect a game like this to need. It's a whole world of forests after all so I don't think the normal approach of "imposters" or billboarded trees is going to work here. My plan is to setup another pass of ground drawing, but it only draws the clutter stuff, and it has a top and a bottom elevation offset texture from true ground level, and i can use that to create a sort of brush I can draw forests with pretty easily. Maybe I can generate those textures from within Unity from supplied patches of actual high-mesh trees, so when you fly up closer to them it swaps out the low-effort version with high definition versions, but in the exact same placement and size, so it's more smooth.
