Wind projection basis for real-time animation of trees
نویسندگان
چکیده
This scientific report presents a real-time method to animate complex scenes of thousands of trees under a user-controllable wind load. Firstly, modal analysis is applied to extract the main modes of deformation from the mechanical model of a 3D tree. The novelty of our contribution is to precompute a new basis of the modal stress of the tree under wind load. At runtime, this basis allows to replace the modal projection of the external forces by a direct mapping for any directional wind. We show that this approach can be efficiently implemented on a graphics hardware. This modal animation can be simulated at low computation cost even for large scenes containing thousands of trees.

Premièrement une analyse modale est appliquée pour obtenir les principaux modes de déformation du modele mécanique de l’arbre 3D. La nouveauté de notre contribution est l’utilisation d’une base précalculée de l’éffort modale exercé par le vent sur les arbres. Lors de l’animation, cette base permet de remplacer la projection modale des forces externes par une application du vent en fonction de sa direction et de sa vitesse. Nous montrons que cette methode peut etre implementée efficacement sur carte graphique. L’animation modale peut être simulée à faible coût même pour de grandes scènes contenant plusieurs milliers d’arbres.

An Implementation on Real-time Animation of Trees Swaying in Wind Fields
Trees are one of the most important objects of everyday life. Therefore, it is really crucial to have a realistic tree animation, especially for virtual reality applications. Many studies have been made on simulating tree motion under influence of wind. Most of the time, those studies use physical based approaches to generate the branch motions. In this paper, I propose a hybrid method to creat...

This paper presents a new approach to shading realistic leaves at high frame rates. The proposed physically based translucency model allows the accurate simulation of subsurface scattering in leaves while accounting for the leaf micro-structure. This approach is based in the local frame of the leaf, so it can be instantiated to any number of leaves without needing to generate new data. Besides ...

In this paper, an interactive platform is introduced that users can create dancing animation of models with various topologies, including humans, flowers, animals and etc. After the key postures of dancing are set interactively by animators, the program produces the final smooth animation automatically. What is more, certain posture pools have been designed for users in advance, which greatly r...
