Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 10, Problem 18CRP
Explanation of Solution
Procedural Modeling:
- For complex shapes, realistic models cannot be obtained by geometric modeling or manual digitizing.
- Examples of complex shapes are intricate plant structures such as trees, complex terrain such as mountain ranges, and gaseous substances such as clouds, smoke, or the flames of a fire.
- For above complex shapes, polygonal meshes can be obtained by writing programs that construct the desired shape automatically. Such programs are collectively known as Procedural Models.
- A procedural model is a
program unit that applies analgorithm to generate a desired structure.
The two types of procedure models are:
- Particle systems:
- In this method, the underlying structure of an object is simulated as large collection of particles...
