XfrogTUNE is a 3D modeling tool that works with Xfrog models composed of tree and leaf components. It allows users to adjust the polygon complexity of their model while still maintaining the overall look. This is done by using visual perception techniques, such as removing minor branches and leaves, enlarging remaining leaves when the model is in the distance, and keeping the shape and foliage-branch relationship intact.
XfrogTune works with any Xfrog model that is constructed with tree and leaf components, and allows the user to change the polygon complexity while intelligently retaining the overall look of the model, by employing specific visual perception tricks, and by dropping polygons that are non-critical such as secondary and tertiary levels of branching which are usually hidden, dropping leaves in a random patterns and enlarging remaining leaves when the model is in the distance to keep exact overall shape and the relationship of foliage to branches intact.
