There's absolutely no way that food grown in a lab has a lower cArBon FoOtPrInT than a cow, unless they're simply leaving out the cost of the lab facilities, the production of the chemical soup used to grow phony "meat", and everything else in the manufacturing chain.
I could be mistaken, but I believe at its core Speedtree uses a fast fractal algorithm to generate realistic trees, their leaves, and tree movement quickly.
So yes the graphical assets are likely separate from the shape algorithm, but I find it hard to believe you need a foliage artist rather than simply licensing some existing assets and spending a couple weeks tweaking algorithm seeds to get the look you want.
The prequels were not great. I actually somewhat enjoyed Rogue One, but completely gave up on Star Wars with the sequels. I stopped watching whatever the second sequel was it was so bad. Can't even remember the name of the new movies. It doesn't matter. I would much rather watch an hour of Critical Drinker slamming Disney Star Wars trash than watching a minute of the actual show itself. Trashing it is far more entertaining.
