The reproduction of nature via computer has fascinated scientists incomputer graphics and artists, ever since synthetic imaging was thoughtto be possible. This book illustrates and exemplifies methods for thecreation of artificial plant models, and the application of thesemethods within areas such as simulation, virtual reality, botany,landscaping and architecture. The models are combined to create gardens,parks, and even entire landscapes. The range of creatingrepresentational forms reaches from deceptively authentic lookingpictures to abstract presentations. In addition, with similar methodsorganic objects can be produced, changed, and animated.
