Claim One:
1. A method of generating procedural textures for a plurality of natural phenomena, the method comprising: using a processor to perform the steps of: 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 result using the noise value, the common parameters, and the specific parameters, wherein the determining of which procedural texture is to be generated comprises analyzing a texture node included in the common parameters and determining the procedural texture to be generated according to the analysis result for the texture node, wherein the texture node is one of a plurality of virtual reality modelling language (VRML) nodes that respectively correspond to the natural phenomena.
