Real-time Dynamic Simulation of 3D Cloud for Marine Search and Rescue Simulator

Abstract

As the main scenery of sky, the effect of 3D cloud influences the fidelity of visual system and the immersion effect of simulator. In this paper, based on the work of Y. Dobashi and T. Nishita, small region Cellular Automaton is generated and more realistic cloud simulation is improved. The experimental results show that the visual system of simulator can run in real-time and has a relatively higher refresh rate after changeable 3D cloud being applied.
