植物三维建模方法综述

An Introduction to Plant's 3D Modeling Methods

1 引言自然景物形状最大的特点是其不规则性,比如山峰、树木、云彩、波浪等,而且它们的形状都具有丰富多彩的细节,因此很难用传统的计算机图形学建模方法进行真实感模拟。植物作为最常见的自然景观之一,还具有与其他自然景观不同的形状特点。首先植物是一种生物,植物的叶子通过光合作用从太阳光能中吸收营养。

A series of plant's 3D modeling methods are introduced in this paper.They include fractal modeling method,A-system,particle system,L^system,layer based modeling method,modeling method faithful to botanical structure and development and interactive modeling method. This will be helpful in the future research of plant's 3D model.
