We present a non-photo realistic, real-time painterly rendering technique for terrains. The painterly appearance and the impression of terrains is created by effectively rendering...
Abstract. In previous work [4] a framework was demonstrated that allows an autonomous robot to automatically synthesize physically-realistic models of its own body. Here it is demo...
Modeling and rendering of natural scenes with thousands of plants poses a number of problems. The terrain must be modeled and plants must be distributed throughout it in a realist...
