ABSTRACT
Virtual nature construction methods are covered in two processes, first with low-polygon 3D plant models ideal for augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) and the second with high-polygon 3D plant models using Unreal Engine 5 and Reality Capture. Critical for scientific and information accuracy is the iterative review process with the domain expert.
