A Method for Modeling and Rendering Dunes with Wind-Ripples

This paper proposes a method for modeling and rendering realistic desert scenes. A desert terrain includes sand dunes and wind ripples. We use two types of scale models to form them. We render the dunes with the wind-ripples by bump-mapping using LODs (Levels of Detail).
