2. Motivation
 Hardware Evolves leading to Detailed scenes
 Added complexity
 Increased Draw Calls
 Relatively slow to send primitives to the GPU
 100 models 10k poly -> 10k models 100 poly
 Popular in modern games

3. Goals
 Render in Real-time (60+ fps)
 100k+ object
 10 model types
 Capable for walkthrough and flyover cameras
 No L.O.D popping

4. Techniques
 Hybrid Rendering
 Dynamic image-based Imposters
 Billboard Clouds
 Geometry Instancing
 Geometry Shaders
 L.O.D
 Minimising Draw Calls

5. Research Question
“Utilising modern hardware, is it possible to render
dense forest scenes in real-time while retaining a
respectable frame rate (60fps+)?”
