A New Approach for Simulation of Snow Falling and Accumulating for Large-scale Terrain[J]. Journal of Image and Graphics, 2007, 12(9): 1676. DOI: 10.11834/jig.20070930.
Based on the analysis of traditional simulation methods
this paper presents a new approach for simulation of snow falling and accumulating in large-scale terrain. The snow simulation is divided into two stages-falling and accumulating. In the former stage
rotation
dynamic texture
and dynamic color of particles are taken into account
which greatly improves the reality of simulation. In the later stage
image noise is introduced to a large-scale terrain
which solves the problem that the traditional methods cannot be scaled up to the large-scale terrain. Experiment shows this method improves the in snow simulation
