yggdrasil

Welcome to the Yggdrasil honours project website. The aim of this research project was to improve the realism of the models produced by an existing procedural tree generator (TreeDraw) through subdivision surfaces, texture synthesis and leaf generation. The resulting combination of Yggdrasil and TreeDraw is a powerful system capable of generating a realistic model tree from a user drawn sketch. This model has a smoothed mesh, foliage, and a synthesised texture. Yggdrasil was developed by Ryan Mazzolini, Donovan Foster and Richard Pieterse, under the supervision of A/Prof James Gain.
