1 - Objectives

Xplo born of an AMAP botanist brainstorming (March 2008) :

What tools to help :

Building Editing Viewing Seek Exporting

Architectural plant data ?

4 – Applications : GLOUPS GLOUPS is an implementation of the process-based model

GREENLAB (GL1 and only Corner architecture). The simulator use the multi-scale tree structure of XPLO

Feng Lu, S. Griffon and P. De Reffye

3 – Applications : GLOUPS

4 – Applications : GLOUPS

GLOUPS can read data coming from Simeo, compute plants for each density class and export to SLE (3D landscape viewer)

30 x 30 + rand 5cm

30 x 60 + rand 5cm

60 x 60 + rand 5cm

4 – Applications : GLOUPS Xplo can export the computed plant to OBJ file for better rendering

Rendu avec AOI :

Ambiant occlusion

Normal mapping

Soft shadow

4 - Xplo 1.0 ?

First version of Xplo should be available for the end of 2009.

Developped in Java (multi-platform), under LGPL licence.

Functionalities to enhance or to add : Time management. Plug-in architecture for Groovy script. Improve geometry builder and editor Improve topology builder Add more plant modelisation/simulation module.

SimeoFor the scene level, a similar software is developped in AMAP by F. De Coligny
