Tree Animation for A 3D Interactive Visualization System For Hurricane Impacts
2005 IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo
This paper describes an implementation of vertex weighting for real-time animation of 3D trees as a result of wind force and direction. This method improves over similar techniques because it incorporates individual branch animation on 3D models, whereas previous works perform animations on the model as a whole or use planar billboards to visualize the tree. Our tree animation is used in an interactive system that visualizes the effects caused by a hurricane's impact on a virtual city. The
