Abstract
The realistic trees modeling is required in many virtual systems such as architecture modeling packages, widely spread simulators and computer games, large-scale realistic maps in geographic information systems (GIS), and also 3D-modeling packages of landscapes and forest monitoring. Existing L-system (even stochastic L-systems) considers a growing effect without degenerating artifacts that leads to closely visual results when all trees are looked like as a sample. We suggest a procedural approach including an initial chose procedure, a growing procedure, and a degenerating procedure. Also we discuss an influence of some weather conditions and forest modeling for improvement of virtual results. We use the main advantage of L-systems (a quick process of 3D-visual “growing”) and achieve a reality visualization in landscape applications.
