Biomass in future Landscapes Lenne 3D Video

Fly-throughs are quite popular, especially since the success of Google Earth but what matters more to landscape perception is the human perspective from eye-level view.

Lenné3D, a Berlin based corporation, has been invited by DBFZ to create a visual stunning simulation of future cultural landscape scenarios by virtually implementing biomass into an existing landscape. Our contribution tries to advance the paradigm of Humphrey Repton's famous before-and-after landscape depictions with dynamic navigation, and to trigger fruitful discussions on the various aspects and issues of biomass in cultural landscapes.

The video animation "Biomass in Future Landscapes" shows both fly-through and walk-troughs, and a time travel. New landscape scenery patterns and time and again views arise from implementation of linear structures such as alley-cropping systems.

The video is based on a virtual 3D model derived from geodata such as a digital elevation model and land use maps and field patterns, vegetation relevés, and descriptions of cropping practices. A plant distributor software arranges the vegetation cover. Finally, a virtual camera flies and walks though the 3D landscape model and the animation is rendered using Lenné3D software.

Lenné3D GmbH is an IT company specialising in digital botany and virtual landscapes. The name "Lenné3D" is a homage to the renowned German landscape architect Peter Joseph Lenné. We offer a 3D database of digital plant models, develop products for interactive rendering of vegetation, landscapes, and gardens and offer modelling and 3D visualisation services for past and future landscapes. During the last 3 years, we have gained expertise due to our involvement in German and British projects on biomass and biofuel landscapes where we have created many virtual crops, and landscapes. Our team comprises of computer artists, landscape architects, landscape designers, physicists, botanists and programmers. The company is business partner of the world leader of geographical information systems ESRI.

Diashow "Biomass in Future Landscapes"

The diashow "Biomass in future Landscapes " created by HochC shows the change of landscapes influenced by energy production. In context between past and status quo conditions regarding agriculture cultivation a possible future outlook including the challenges of biomass cultivation is presented. For example, a various crop rotation with different crops for a wide range of harvest dates influence the agricultural scenery positively and avoid monotonous landscapes.
