“…In their method, the LOD of available terrain mesh is enhanced by extracting geometrical details from a decal texture of the terrain model. [JP20] describes a real‐time method (using compute shaders) to implement dynamic manipulation of meshes to simulate the behavior of loosely packed snow when manipulated by objects or agents in a virtual environment. In [Han21], a GPU‐based real‐time snow rendering technique using compute shaders is presented.…”

“…2 compares some of the above‐discussed methods for their nature, simulation scale, CPU/GPU support, maximum resolution demonstrated, simulation time, and properties. Some of these techniques [RLD15,JP20] demonstrate interactive or real‐time frame rates for limited outdoor environments. Even with the increasing strength of hardware over the past several years, most techniques targetting landscape‐scale snow cover generation require much higher computational times owing to the scale of the problem.…”

Snow and ice animation methods are becoming increasingly popular in the field of computer graphics (CG). The applications of snow and ice in CG are varied, ranging from generating realistic background landscapes to avalanches and physical interaction with objects in movies, games, etc. Over the past two decades, several methods have been proposed to capture the time‐evolving physical appearance or simulation of snow and ice using different models at different scales. This state‐of‐the‐art report aims to identify existing animation methods in the field, provide an up‐to‐date summary of the research in CG, and identify gaps for promising future work. Furthermore, we also attempt to identify the primarily related work done on snow and ice in some other disciplines, such as civil or mechanical engineering, and draw a parallel with the similarities and differences in CG.

“…PCG can also be used to adapt the game world. This can include the simulation of weather phenomena such as packed snow behavior when it is stepped by a character [32] or realistic and detailed procedural destruction of objects. This is where the true power of generative design lies: Adjusting the environment to influence the player's emotion and experience [13], [].…”

This paper explores a bio-mimetic approach for procedurally generated trees and forests, emphasizing the need to deliver a unique gameplay experience. For this study a tree growth simulator was developed, based on a set of growth factors, and an ecological model used for the placement of the trees. The contribution of the proposed scheme is twofold. In a micro level analyzes the user's perceived realism of a single tree, and on a macro level the user's experience in the context of navigation performance in a forest. Results of a user study indicate that the perceived appearance of the trees was mainly affected by the player's previous experience and expectations. The player's ability to navigate in a forest was affected both by growth factors of the trees and the distribution model used to generate the forest. Moreover, the participants reported the that distinct visual cues enhanced their navigation and orientation in the forest.
