System and method for time-based graphical simulation of a natural effect

摘要

A system and method are disclosed for simulating a sequence of discrete natural effects, each natural effect of the sequence being based on an initial natural effect, an immediately preceding natural effect, and a time interval since the immediately preceding natural effect. The initial effect is a two-dimensional simulated natural effect and wherein a last one of the second consecutive simulated natural effect is a three-dimensional simulated natural effect.

主权项

1. A computerized method comprising:
using a processor, simulating a sequence of discrete natural effects, each natural effect of the sequence being based on an initial natural effect, an immediately preceding natural effect, and a time interval since the immediately preceding natural effect, the sequence being based on a physical model of the discrete natural effects and a noise factor, the noise factor being applied to a transition from a natural effect simulated in two dimensions and a natural effect simulated in three dimensions; rendering at least some of the sequence of discrete natural effects; and causing display of the discrete natural effects as rendered.
