Abstract :
With the development of virtual reality technology, simulation of plant growth is a hotspot in virtual reality area. In order to reflect the characteristic features of a particular kind of tree and the influence of environment during the process of simulating tree, this paper proposed an virtual tree model based ondynamic forest growing simulation system environment influence (VTMEI). In addition, this model is deployed to the dynamic forest growing simulation system and different tree species have been simulated to validate the virtual tree model. The application shows that the simulation result can remain more scientific and the dynamic forest growing simulation system can satisfy the need of real-time walkthrough in the virtual forest.
