Abstract
The aging process of material is an unavoidable natural phenomenon. Thus, several CG techniques for representing aging phenomena, such as metal corrosion and stone weathering, have been studied. In this paper, we propose a visual simulation method of wood weathering. First, we present the wood model in consideration of branching. Then, we give the algorithm for representing the weathering of the color and shape of wood. Several simulation examples show the availability of the proposed method. Finally, we conclude this paper and mention the future work.
