Cairn is impressive and such a unique experience! Check out this detailed breakdown on how they did it; recognizable routes, good ascent options, risky shortcuts, easy alternatives. It's all there! Incredibly time-consuming, but you can feel the handiwork and care during the ascent! Thx for sharing.

One thing I like to do is put a little semi-transparent rect in the lower left or right corner with all the actions/hotkeys so future me remembers mousewheel or ctrl+click does something different if I haven't used the tool in a while.

AI-generated artwork is officially not eligible for copyright protection after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the appeal.

The court ruled that a work must have a human creator in order to qualify for copyright.
