Models of Hawaiian Plants
- the xfrog GUI only runs reliably on SGI (currently), so i developed some models on an
available SGI Impact workstation
- xfrog doesn't model plant growth, but it can somewhat model
plant structure
- Bernd of Greenworks helped me model an adult Hapu‘u
- Cassandra contributed to the Silversword,
Coffee and Papaya below
- Silversword species should be easy to do with xfrog
- created a non-flowering Mauna Loa silversword, though the polygon count is very high and
the specularity is difficult to simulate with realtime rendering
- if you want to try the xfrog models below, you might need some of these texture maps
- other plants potentially appropriate for xfrog modelling: ohi‘a and mullein
- need to try modelling more plants!
