Fast Hydraulic and Thermal Erosion on GPU

Year: 2011

Type: article

Abstract: Computer games, simulators and many other computer graphics applications display external scenes where a realistic looking terrain is a vital part of the view. In this paper we propose a method that generates realistic virtual terrains by simulation of hydraulic and thermal erosion on a predefined heightfield. The model is designed to be executed interactively on parallel architectures like graphics processors.
