Week 18 (Apr. 27 - May. 3): Project Specification

On Apr. 28, we finished our project specification and settled down our plan to make an application that can generate tree models according to the basic crown shapes that users give based on space colonization algorithm (SCA). User interface will be included to allow users' interaction on different parameters included in the tree generation process. The application will be realized by Unity together with C#.

Before the next meeting, we decided to start to realize the core algorithm using points as tree nodes. During this process, we will be more familiar with Unity as well as the algorithm, so that we can figure out which changeable parameter we want to include later.
