“…In [66], the authors propose a procedural branch graph (PBG) approach that creates diverse trees with the same branch structure at different LODs (Level of Detail). Further state-of-the-art research such as [58,67,68] confirms the high maturity level of this research area.…”

This survey presents algorithms for the automatic generation of content for virtual worlds, in particular for games. After a definition of the term procedural content generation, the algorithms to generate realistic objects such as landscapes and vegetation, road networks, buildings, living beings and stories are introduced in detail. In our discussion, we emphasize a good compromise between the realism of the objects and the performance of the algorithms. The survey also assesses each generated object type in terms of its applicability in games and simulations of virtual worlds.

We present an efficient method for generating coherent multi-layer landscapes. We use a dictionary built from exemplars to synthesize high-resolution fully-featured terrains from input low-resolution elevation data. Our example-based method consists in analyzing real world terrain examples and learning the procedural rules directly from these inputs. We take into account not only the elevation of the terrain, but also additional layers such as the slope, orientation, drainage area, the density and distribution of vegetation, and the soil type. By increasing the variety of terrain exemplars, our method allows the user to synthesize and control different types of landscapes and biomes, such as temperate or rain forests, arid deserts and mountains.

“…Later methods focus on the interaction of plants with their environment, through query modules [Měch and Prusinkiewicz 1996], inverse procedural modeling [Stava et al 2014] and through explicitly modeling the competition for resources [Palubicki et al 2009]. Data-driven and sketchbased approaches focus on modeling plants from sensor data [Livny et al 2011;Neubert et al 2007] or user-defined sketches [Ijiri et al 2006;Okabe et al 2007].…”

“…Traditionally, the adaptivity of trees and plants is modeled by explicitly considering the environment [Měch and Prusinkiewicz 1996], inverse procedural modeling [Stava et al 2014], modeling the competition for resources [Palubicki et al 2009], or simulated adaptation . Only recently, efforts in plant modeling concentrate on the dynamic behavior by simulating the physics response of plants.…”

Interactive wood combustion for botanical tree models

et al. 2017

Fig. 1. Combustion of a tree model: a tree is exposed to fire until the branching structure reaches its ignition temperature (a). The combustion releases energy stored in the tree organs and propagates through the entire tree model until it reaches its peak (b). The combustion causes branches to bend and break (c) while the flames conquer more branches (d) and eventually burn the entire tree model (e).We present a novel method for the combustion of botanical tree models. Tree models are represented as connected particles for the branching structure and a polygonal surface mesh for the combustion. Each particle stores biological and physical attributes that drive the kinetic behavior of a plant and the exothermic reaction of the combustion. Coupled with realistic physics for rods, the particles enable dynamic branch motions. We model material properties, such as moisture and charring behavior, and associate them with individual particles. The combustion is efficiently processed in the surface domain of the tree model on a polygonal mesh. A user can dynamically interact with the model by initiating fires and by inducing stress on branches. The flames realistically propagate through the tree model by consuming the available resources. Our method runs at interactive rates and supports multiple tree instances in parallel. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach through numerous examples and evaluate its plausibility against the combustion of real wood samples.
