Abstract :
Based on the previous work of modeling dynamic 3D cloud using Cellular Automata, this paper renders realistic 3D cloud for Marine Search and Rescue Simulator visual system in real-time. Physically based light interaction is implemented by Open Scene Graph with a common PC. Light scattering and absorbing is considered. After the 3D cloud integrated into the visual scene, experimental results show that it has realistic effect with fast rendering speed. It is suitable for the applications of real-time simulation, Marine Search and Rescue Simulator especially.
