Book Description

Random Fractals are the method of choice when it comes to modelling landscapes, clouds and other natural phenomena for the purpose of computer image synthesis. This paper describes the fundamentals of random fractals and some of the basic methods for their generation. This includes the midpoint displacement and the spectral synthesis methods as well as a functional-based approach. Methods using stochastic noise synthesis are not covered.
