3D Tree Modeling and Visualization Simulation Based on Fractal

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a 3D tree simulation method which is based on fractal theory and combined with the morphological characteristics of trees. By modifying a few simple parameters we can achieve the realization of different types of 3D tree automated generation. According to the tree structure fractal self-similar characteristic, combined with the morphological characteristics of the trees, we abstract identified class to realize the description of each organs attributes and functions; Using random control function to improve the fractal iterative methods to make the generated trees more realistic; With the help of the developing platform of Visual C++ language and OpenGL, we can realize 3DTrees optimize modeling and visualization simulation. Experiments show that the method generates visually convincing results.
