Take a 3D object represented as a mesh
Generate billboard soup
Optimize the triangles for visual
perception by using k-means
Use continuous scale from 0-100% of the
original number of
Visualize them
All loaded inside the GPU
All interactive

2. Tree Optimization (taken)
1. Use L-systems to develop a
plant growth model responding
to light
2. Optimize growth to find optimal
space occupancy
3. Use MCMC or Metropolis
Hastings to find the optimum

3. Wind erosion
1. Erode a voxel scene using wind
erosion
2. Implement the Navier-Stokes
equations using the pipe model on
the GPU
3. Create nice visualization and timelapse sequences of the erosion.
4. Provide illumination and rendering
of the resulted scenes

5. Forest Walk
4. 2.5D Maze
1. Generate 2.5D maze
2. Let the user freely navigate
through the maze
3. Add bad guys that will try to kill
him (animated billboards)
4. Add guns, life support, etc.

6. BVH Object Culling
1. Generate a scene with random
trees over a DEM model
2. Let the user walk through the
scene
3. Modify the geometry of the
scenes by using LOD
4. Use instancing
1. Implement object culling by
using BVH
2. Get AABB for each object
3. Generate BVH for a given
scene
4. Perform random walk
5. Compare to full scene rendering
