Abstract:
A method for generating graphics of a three-dimensional (3D) virtual environment includes: receiving, with a processor, a first camera position in the 3D virtual environment and a first viewing direction in the 3D virtual environment; receiving, with the processor, weather data including first precipitation information corresponding to a first geographic region corresponding to the first camera position in the 3D virtual environment; defining, with the processor, a bounding geometry at first position that is a first distance from the first camera position in the first viewing direction, the bounding geometry being dimensioned so as to cover a field of view from the first camera position in the first viewing direction; and rendering, with the processor, a 3D particle system in the 3D virtual environment depicting precipitation only within the bounding geometry, the 3D particle system having features depending on the first precipitation information.

Claim (Index 10):
A system for generating graphics of a three-dimensional (3D) virtual environment comprising:\n a display device configured to display the graphics of the 3D virtual environment; a networking device; a memory configured to store programmed instructions; and a processor operatively connected to the display device, the networking device, and the memory, the processor being configured to execute the programmed instructions to:\n receive a first value for a camera position of a virtual camera in the 3D virtual environment and a first value for a viewing direction of the virtual camera; \n receive, via the networking device, weather data including first precipitation information corresponding to a first geographic region corresponding to the first value for the camera position of the virtual camera; \n define a closed 3D bounding geometry having a position that is defined relative to the camera position of the virtual camera and the viewing direction of the virtual camera such that the closed 3D bounding geometry moves with the virtual camera, the position of the closed 3D bounding geometry being defined at a first distance from the camera position of the virtual camera in the viewing direction of the virtual camera, the closed 3D bounding geometry being dimensioned so as to cover a field of view of the virtual camera in the viewing direction of the virtual camera; and \n render a 3D particle system in the 3D virtual environment depicting precipitation only within the closed 3D bounding geometry, the 3D particle system having features depending on the first precipitation information.
