Animation topics and content
Computer generated three dimensional animations have been made by Dr Larry Jensen and Andrew Chung at the University of Auckland, New Zealand.
The viewer is placed inside the plant to see the dynamic events that take place during plant growth and reproduction by the use of spectacular computer simulations.
(1) The Secret life of Plants. This is a series of four animations (Moss, Ferns, Pine, Flower) available individually or as a set. Each includes three versions of increasing complexity.
