Animation Tree in the Wind

Abstract:

Real time modeling and rendering of natural Phenomena has been a hotspot and One of the most difficult tasks in Computer Graphics, it has been found wide application in many domains such as computer animation, computer games, special effects of movie, landscaping, battlefield simulation and virtual reality etc.. Realistic simulation is generally consisting of natural elements simulation and man-made elements simulation, natural elements simulation is relatively complicated. However, in natural elements simulation trees simulation is one of the most complex technologies. In this paper, propose a method that is real-time visualization of animated trees in the wind. Compared with other previous studies, our work is to develop a physical model of real movement by the trees swaying animation. We describe the method is consistent with nature scene that branches move in the wind. Then, we describe a simple animation of trees swaying, in the local graphics processor.
