This new development in procedural modeling techniques makes tree models possible that will interact with their environment! For example, if you insert a building, the surrounding trees will change their shape and branches will give way to the new object in a most realistic way.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/graphics.uni-konstanz.de\/publikationen\/2012\/plastic_trees\/website\/images\/teaser.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"88\" src=\"http:\/\/graphics.uni-konstanz.de\/publikationen\/2012\/plastic_trees\/website\/images\/teaser.jpg\" width=\"450\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>How are these astonishing results achieved? Input is a skeleton-based tree geometry. In contrast to traditional tree growing models, the new technique approximates biologically motivated transformations. Main factor is the light distribution and the amount of resources a tree receives. On that basis, the growth rate for the entire tree and individual branches as well as branch ages are calculated. A complex illumination model makes sure that light conditions are updated for different stages of tree growth. Additional factors are phototropism and gravitropism and I was surprised how realistic the outcomes look.<\/p>\n<p>Because the approach does not require the tree model to be reconstructed from the beginning, it performs much better than previous approaches and is even suitable for real-time applications. That means, you could insert an object such as a building but also other trees and experiment in real-time how the surrounding trees might change their growth in response to each other and inanimate objects.<\/p>\n<p>For more information and the original research paper, please see<\/p>\n<p>SIGGRAPH 2012:<br \/>\n\t<a
