       | keep in mind there is a hotlink to an EXE on this page. i had
       | this bit of freeware from a long time ago
       | 
       | the original ware is from slick software and there a lot of
       | imitations.
       | 
       | there used to be a lot of digital seed trading going on between

       | This looks awesome, could be super helpful for synthetic data
       | generation, for a lot of industries including mine (drones). The
       | UE compatibility is a very good selling point, and the procedural
       | nature is also a good selling point (less overfitting of neural
       | nets trained on a limited set of tree models)
