them grow or unfold. A swirling pattern of stars
suddenly coalesces into a geodesic sphere with all the
points gracefully touching. Navigate a forest of
rustling leaves, or visit an island with exotic
flowers.
The trees generated by Virtual flower are created
using fractals, paralleling the way that trees are
structured in nature. A few simple shapes are used for
the branches, leaves and flowers, and these are re-
used to make larger and larger structures.
Most 3D models of trees in 3D scenes are just
a "billboard" type flat texture that turns around to
follow the viewer. That's because true 3D trees are
normally so much larger in terms of file size.
With Virtual Flower though you can make intricate
truly 3D trees and flowers, which are small in file
size, when included in VRML scenes. Even a whole
