A plant is made up of components of various types and shapes. The geometrical and
topological organisation of these components defines the plant architecture. Before the early …

This paper reviews the past and current trends of three-dimensional (3D) modeling and
reconstruction of plants and trees. These topics have been studied in multiple research …

We present a new approach for modeling and rendering existing architectural scenes from a
sparse set of still photographs. Our modeling approach, which combines both geometry …

Modeling a city poses a number of problems to computer graphics. Every urban area has a
transportation network that follows population and environmental influences, and often a …

CGA shape, a novel shape grammar for the procedural modeling of CG architecture,
produces building shells with high visual quality and geometric detail. It produces extensive …

The third edition of this classic tutorial and reference on procedural texturing and modeling
is thoroughly updated to meet the needs of today's 3D graphics professionals and students …

This paper presents a new method for the automatic modeling of architecture. Building
designs are derived using split grammars, a new type of parametric set grammar based on …

Implicit surfaces offer special effects animators, graphic designers, CAD engineers, graphics
students, and hobbyists a new range of capabilities for the modeling of complex geometric …

Recent advances in computer graphics have produced images approaching the elusive
goal of photorealism. Since many natural objects are so complex and detailed, they are …

Interaction with the environment is a key factor affecting the development of plants and plant
ecosystems. In this paper we introduce a modeling framework that makes it possible to …
