The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Threaded Dispatch Queues script/addon to run methods asynchronously without worrying about Thread management
Looks nice and clean, I might use this as inspiration for a multithreaded job queue I'm working on in a project of mine.

I've been trying to implement a LOD system for planets, after many hours of coding and debugging I finally have something.
I do, here are some of the sources I used, but first you should probably check this project by u/Ignatiamus: link. If you want to check out my project it's here, although I wouldn't recommend it as the code is very sloppy and poorly documented.

Relief-Shaded Procedural DEMs
This was generated using an erosion simulation (source-code: https://github.com/weigert/SimpleHydrology).
-
Tree-particles and rivers (with graphic improvements)
You can find the code here: https://github.com/weigert/SimpleHydrology

Island River Map
SimpleHydrology now supports infinitely large maps. This was solved by making a memory pool for all map properties, requesitioning buckets for individual map-nodes and rewriting the erosion code to run on these chunks. The limit is really your memory now (and patience).

A nice meandering river seed...
Full, updated and cleaned code now available here.
-
Meandering River Erosion Simulation
The full code is available here. Written in C++ with TinyEngine.
-
Meandering Rivers by Momentum Conservation
I have been playing with my SimpleHydrology system [Github Link] over the holidays and decided to implement momentum conservation for the particle-based erosion system. This, together with some minor parameter tweaks, lets me get nice meandering river behavior.

Simulated Wind over Terrain
This is a simulation of wind flow over procedural terrain using my own GPU accelerated implementation of the lattice boltzmann method. All implemented and visualized in TinyEngine (by me). Terrain generated using SimpleHydrology (also by me). The source for this is not released (yet!). This scene is 100% procedural.

Improved Wind Simulation over Procedural Terrain [WIP]
With a better visualization of the streamlines, some performance optimization and nicer procedural terrain (generated using SimpleHydrology) this looks really nice!
-
More sped-up procedural hydrology (cause it's fun to look at)
Sure, full source here.
-
...I'm back to simulating erosion again...
Sure, I can outline some basics. You can also read this thread for a small discussion.
