Abstract |
As a general approach to
procedural mesh definition we propose two mechanisms for mesh modification:
generalized subdivision and rule based mesh growing. In standard subdivision,
a specific subdivision rule is applied to a mesh to get a succession of
meshes converging to a limit surface. A generalized approach allows different
subdivision rules at each level of the subdivision process. By limiting the
variations introduced at each level, convergence can be ensured; however in a
number of cases it may be of advantage to exploit the expressivity of
different subdivision steps at each level, without imposing any limits. Rule
based mesh growing is an extension of L-systems to not only work on symbols,
but connected symbols, representing faces in a mesh. This mechanism allows
the controlled introduction of more complex geometry in places where it is
needed to model fine details. Using both these mechanisms in combination we
demonstrate, that a great variety of complex objects can be easily modeled
and compactly represented. |

Abstract |
A new semi-automatic method for
determining parameters for L-based plant modeling systems is introduced. It
is shown that many of the parameters necessary to create realistic plants can
be extracted semi-automatically from photographs of real plants. By replacing
numerical parameters with a more intuitive set of graphical modeling primitives,
it is possible to significantly speed up the design process of complex
three-dimensional shapes, such as plants. We also explain how to add small
scale detail and natural transitions to skeletal models of plants to further
improve the design process. |
