Abstract:This paper presents a method to simulate hydraulic erosion and sedimentation on a terrain represented by a triangular mesh in realtime. Our method achieves interactive performances by dynamically displacing vertices using CUDA following physically-inspired principles; the mesh is generated in a preprocessing step to avoid degenerated cases in highly deformed areas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
