Abstract

Using the stochastic L-system for modeling the trees. Modeling the trees includes two sides, the trunk is modeled by using multi-level Levels of Detail (LOD) models, and the leaves use billboard technology. In order to achieve real-time rendering effect, we divide the LOD dynamic according to the location between the trees in space and viewpoint. Finally, we compare the rendering efficiency of different methods. Experiments show that this method can simulate the real forest scene, and also can achieve real-time rendering effect.
