The Analogy

Abstract

We present a system that generates landscapes using a cocktail analogy. With this system, users generate landscapes by combining "ingredients." Users select a bottle containing the intended landscape element and pour an appropriate amount of water into a shaker. The amount of water used from each bottle determines the ratio of landscape elements. The relief of the surface and the position of each element are changed by shaking the shaker. This system provides the enjoyment of creating one’s own favorite scenery.
