Abstract
A method of generating procedural textures for a plurality of natural phenomena, and an apparatus to perform the method, the method including inputting a set of common parameters required to represent the plurality of natural phenomena; inputting a set of specific parameters required to represent physical properties of at least one of the natural phenomena; generating a noise value using the common parameters and the specific parameters; determining which procedural texture is to be generated according to the common parameters; and generating the procedural texture according to the determination results using the noise value, the common parameters, and the specific parameters.
