Thesis Art-directing procedural vegetation in Houdini using a space colonization algorithm
Abstract
Vegetation modelling plays a key role in shots composition. Achieving
a believable and nature-like result has proven to be a tedious and time
consuming task for artists. To overcome this issue we present a Houdini
tool for trees modelling. Through specifying different parameters' values
the tool will generate a variety of tree shapes. Tree structures are achieved
using the space colonization algorithm by Runions et al (2007). Model
parameters are directly mapped onto visual characteristics and offer an
appropriate control over the silhouette and branching structure. This
project shows that the toolset can produce a reasonable variety of trees.
