Abstract

The article presents an algorithmic approach to a problem of real time rain and snow modeling. This problem usually appears in computer games and virtual reality systems development. For solving of a problem of weather effects visualization a new method was developed. In this method a procedural texture of modeling effect is created by using particle system as a model. This texture then is used in the rendering process. The method is quite general and can be used for modeling different weather effects such as snow, rain, etc. Due to high speed of algorithms using this method it is possible to apply it in real-time applications.
