The automatic synthesis of procedural textures for 3D surfaces using genetic programming is investigated. Genetic algorithms employ a search strategy inspired by Darwinian natural...
With the advent of image based modeling techniques, it becomes easier to apply textures extracted from reality onto virtual worlds. Many repetitive patterns (structural textures) ...
Procedural textures can be effectively used to enhance the visual realism of computer rendered images. Procedural textures can provide higher realism for 3-D objects than traditio...
