چکیده

This paper presents a system for rendering very large collections of randomly parameterized plants while generating manageable scene geometries for rendering A given botanical description of a plant is compiled into a hierarchical volume approxima tion This is then integrated into a multiresolution rendering system that uses adaptive volume re ne ment For objects that are close to the viewer ex plicit polygons are generated while objects hidden or further away are rendered as groups of microsur faces This system can be extended to any polygon intensive rendering

Improved Model- and View-Dependent Pruning of Large Botanical Scenes

We present an optimized pruning algorithm that allows for considerable geometry reduction in large botanical scenes while maintaining high and coherent rendering quality. We improve upon previous techniques by applying model specific geometry reduction functions and optimized scaling functions. For this we introduce the use of Precision and Recall (PR) as a measure of quality to rendering and s...

Ray Differentials and Multiresolution Geometry Caching

When rendering only directly visible objects, ray tracing a few levels of specular reflection from large, lowcurvature surfaces, and ray tracing shadows from point-like light sources, the accessed geometry is coherent and a geometry cache performs well. But in many other cases, the accessed geometry is incoherent and a standard geometry cache performs poorly: ray tracing of specular reflection ...

A Tool for the Creation and management of level-of-detail models for 3D applications

Real-time visualization of 3D scenes is a very important feature of many computer graphics solutions. Current environments require complex scenes which contain an increasing number of objects composed of thousands or even millions of polygons. Nevertheless, this complexity poses a problem for achieving interactive rendering. Among the possible solutions, stripification, simplification and level...

Time-critical multiresolution rendering of large complex models

Very large and geometrically complex scenes, exceeding millions of polygons and hundreds of objects, arise naturally in many areas of interactive computer graphics. Time-critical rendering of such scenes requires the ability to trade visual quality with speed. Previous work has shown that this can be done by representing individual scene components as multiresolution triangle meshes, and perfor...

Real-Time Tree Rendering

One of the most important challenges in real-time rendering of outdoor scenes is the representation of vegetation. This is due to the vast amount of polygons that are used to model vegetable species. This paper presents a new method of real-time visualisation of trees and plants that combines both the dynamic generation of impostors and multiresolution modelling techniques. Trees are rendered u...
