Abstract: For the vast varieties in nature,complexity of geometric shapes and great difference structure of trees,this paper explored a tree-modeling approach based on the competition over space resources.In particular,the attraction points are randomly distributed in a certain space,and then the three-dimensional skeleton of tree is constructed by the reciprocal process between tree nodes and attraction points.The Bezier curve is utilized to optimize the skeleton of tree,and the geometric model of tree is constructed through the round table.The leaf order and shadow propagation algorithms are also used to control the distribution of leaves in the branches.By comparison with the L-system and space colonization algorithm,the experimental results present that the trees drawn by this approach have a strong sense of reality,which not only grow with avoiding obstacles effectively,but also require a small amount of data.

Key words: Beziercurve, Competition over space resources, Computer simulation, Shadow propagation algorithm, Treemodeling
