Description
Summary:Visualization of 3D landscape scenes is often used in architectural modeling systems, realistic simulators, computer virtual reality, and other applications. Wind is a common spread natural effect without which any scene would be unrealistic. Three algorithms for tree rendering under changeable wind parameters were developed. They have a minimal computational cost and simulate weak wind; mid-force wind, and storm wind. A 3D landscape scene is formed from a set of trees models that are generated from laser data and templates of L-systems. The user can tune the wind parameters and manipulate a modeling scene by using the designed software tool.
