Multiresolution Foliage Rendering

Abstract

Ponència presentada en CoSECiVi 2020, VI Congreso de la Sociedad Española para las Ciencias del Videojuego On-line, 7-8 d'octubre de 2020.This work presents a continuous level of detail representation of foliage of trees. Multiresolution modeling allows to adapt the number of polygons to render to the relevance of the object in the scene. However, foliage is represented by isolated polygons, so most of the multiresolution modeling methods do not work properly with this part of the tree. This paper presents a multiresolution model that allows to adapt the number of leaves to the relevance of the foliage in the scene. The criterion to select the appropriate leaves to render is based on a previously performed view-driven simplification. To adapt this parameter in real time, data structures and the necessary algorithms that allow us to extract the appropriate number of polygons are presented. Some tests have been developed to evaluate the proposed solution and results show the good performance of the presented continuous level of detail
