Thanks to:
-
Superwaitsum for the GDSerialAsset repository with a compiled version of the GDSercomm library - without this library you cant steering with serial ports.
-
Dreapon for the Spatial Gardener Godot addon - without this plugin no trees existing.
-
RedHaloStudio for the Sketchup Importer Blender addon - without this addon the SketchUp world was gray.
-
Samuel Weywara for the Mini Snowplow car.
