Perlin Noise, Koch Curve, volume rendering, cloud render ing, fractals, texture.
New techniques for fast and realistic cumulus cloud render ing are described. Two of the techniques utilize a variation on the Perlin Noise to create suitable cloud-like texture. The other technique is based on a direct volume rendering mechanism. A fractal-based scheme to enable reasonable shape is incorporated into two of the techniques. Sample renderings and performance are also presented.
