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 2):
The method according to  claim 1  further comprising:\n receiving, with the processor, a second value for the camera position of the virtual camera and a second value for the viewing direction of the virtual camera; \n moving, with the processor, the closed 3D bounding geometry from a first position to a second position such that the position of the closed 3D bounding geometry remains at the first distance from the camera position of the virtual camera in the viewing direction of the virtual camera; and \n updating, with the processor, the rendering of the 3D particle system depicting the precipitation such that particles of the 3D particle system are only rendered within the moved closed 3D bounding geometry at the second position.
