The developed application allows interactive modelling of natural trees and has an integrated simulator which simulates life of trees within ecosystem considering real terrain data. The interactive modeller module features rapid, yet flexible construction of new 3D procedural models for tree species. Procedural models can be used to instantiate differently personalized individual geometrical models of trees for same species, with different age and environmental impact. Obtained models of trees are used to animate spontaneous afforestation of forests during several centuries. To create a visually realistic distribution of trees across landscape, simulator for life of trees is used. The simulator considers real terrain data (DEM - Digital Terrain Model elevation data) and computes living conditions for trees to simulate biological principles. Main living conditions considered are height above sea level, slope, sun, and wind. Trees compete between them selves for space. Seed distribution is also considered, emerging in communities of trees on similar areas. Several hints and experience is used from literature to gain performance of the simulation process and create a realistic visualization of an emerging ecosystems.
