Sometimes, I sits on a river-bank and watch bugs and leaves and twigs be swept past in the river, and I wonder, how do they feel? What do they experience? Are they screaming little bug-screams? How does the river feel? What does nature feel like when you're that small?
And, sometimes, I just sits.
Pardon. Your efforts very much appreciated.
Should have read your explainer on Patreon. This sounds like the answer to what we're all thinking: "We have 8 versions! Just make 1 with all the good stuff. Please!"
The trees are (from my pov), fantastic. The old palms, especially those with the golden ... erm, "sacs", were quite poorly lit. Eye-catchingly so, and there was very little variability in the tree shapes. This has fixed all that, and on my PC anyway, has NO FPS impact, at all. Winner-winner.
I have one bug-report. The US flags, arrayed above the grandstand opposite the pits, are possessed. Ima show a screen-shot, but you can't mock me. I play on an LG TV which does HDR10, and conspires with Windows to adjust stuff on-the-fly, between the frame-buffer and the screen. Results are gorgeous, but screen-shots, even from the Radeon software, are... unfortunate.. ¯\

But you can see what's happening. Two instances of the animated flag at ~40 degrees, both move, both sides of the flag appear different. They snap into that situation, like LODS, as you drive past.
