Abstract :
L-systems, IFS and fractal method are widely used to model trees, but the created trees are of great similarity and unable to embody the characteristic of different trees well. To overcome the above drawback, a new modeling method for trees is presented and expounded based on stochastic space point. Through specifying the branching type, the proposed modeling method will create relevant bifurcate trees flexibly. Besides, it also can easily control the brachespsila smooth level and density. Experiments show that the result graphs are true to nature and this proposed method can be applied to model other plant in visual reality.
