Rendering Plants
نویسنده
چکیده
The rendering of plants in an ecosystem involves three separate tasks that result in a visually complex scene. This paper will describe these rendering tasks according through a level of detail approach with each level possessing greater detail. For example, the first level of detail consists of rendering the ecosystem scene. The second level involves a more detailed rendering of the structure of plants. The last level of detail focuses on the interaction between leafs and light.

Non-Photorealistic Rendering of Plants and Trees
The rendering technique described in this work allows non-photorealistic rendering of plants and trees. Our method is based on the general method proposed by Barbara Meier in 1996. RL-Systems are used to model a tree, allowing the generation in a single step of both the tree geometry and the set of brush strokes needed for later rendering. It can be applied to traditional animation, and to proj...
متن کاملAccurate Graphical Representation of Plant Leaves
We present a simple and practical method for rendering leaves and other translucent parts of plants. In contrast to other translucent materials, plant leaves usually are thin, though highly textured. An adaptation of rendering methods for translucent materials in combination with a set of predefined textures allows us to represent plants realistically. A hardware-based approximation of the shad...
متن کاملModeling of Ecosystems as a Data Source for Real-Time Terrain Rendering
With the advances in rendering hardware, it is possible to render very complex scenes in real-time. In general, computers do not have enough memory to store all the necessary information for sufficiently large areas. This paper discusses a way in which well-known techniques for modeling ecosystems can be applied to generate the placement of plants on a terrain automatically at run-time. Care wa...
متن کاملInteractive Vegetation Rendering
Vegetation poses a significant problem to computer graphics because the geometric complexity of plants does not lend itself very well to traditional simplification approaches. This thesis presents new algorithms that address these issues at different scales, for rendering individual plants as well as entire landscapes. For individual plants we introduce Displacement Mapped Billboard Clouds, an ...
متن کاملLevel of Detail Technique for Plant Models
Realistic modelling and interactive rendering of forestry and landscape is a challenge in computer graphics and virtual reality. Recent new developments in plant growth modelling and simulation lead to plant models faithful to botanical structure and development, not only representing the complex architecture of a real plant but also its functioning in interaction with its environment. Complex ...
