The models, illustrations, and animations that can be created usher in a new paradigm of landscape representation that can become analytical tools as well as beautiful imagery. The text focuses on digital modeling methods that can be used to express rich environments using digital tools to develop, composite, and animate scenes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis full-color book provides coverage of 3D visualization tools for land planning and landscape architecture. The methods and theories in Modeling the Environment present landscape representation around a core set of ideas?scene, object, terrain, environment\/atmosphere, time\/dynamics, and the composite?that centers representation on human experience.
