Virtual plants are 3D models of plant structures that can simulate growth and changes under different conditions. They can be created using various formats and software, with color and animation used to show movement and development. Virtual plant cells can also be studied and manipulated. They provide a useful tool for scientific research, allowing the study of entire crops or fragile and endangered species.
Computer simulation has led to some unique and interesting concepts, one of which is the ability to create virtual plants. Virtual plants are three-dimensional models of plant structures, where rules can be applied to study growth and change in plants. You can study changes in the sizes and shapes of specific plant parts, but you can also apply rules to account for damage from temperature changes, injury, disease, lack of food or water, and more.
Virtual plants are, essentially, hypothetical systems that reproduce the processes that plants go through when certain conditions or rules are applied. There are various formats for creating virtual floor plans for the studio. A large part of building virtual plants depends on the computer system, components and software used. A system with excellent graphics can create incredibly realistic plant structures.
Other systems may employ a more architectural basis for creating virtual floor plans, more like a schematic than a realistic reproduction. Animation can also be used. In some cases, the growth or deterioration of virtual plants can be shown in a way that mimics time-lapse photography.
Color also has an influence in the study of virtual plants. Color can be used to simulate the movement of water, nutrients, chemicals and pathogens through a plant. A virtual plant can also be just a part of a particular plant and color can be used to show how various elements make their way through the root system or other particular parts.
In some programs that use virtual plants, other models can be built to represent virtual plant cells. These cells can then be maneuvered in a variety of ways for study. They can be split or otherwise cut, and can be maneuvered into different positions so they can be viewed from different angles.
Computers have long been useful in many and varied types of scientific research, and technology continues to increase the way science can be studied. Virtual plants are just another example of taking the whole and breaking it down into more manageable parts based on simple rules or formulas. Virtual plants can also be used to study entire crops, create hybrid plants, or simply observe the growth of individual plants or species. Even plants that are difficult to obtain, or fragile or endangered, can now be studied more easily using computer models.
