Abstract	Generation of photo-realistic images of virtual nature scenes is a challenging topic in computer graphics. As a very important part of natural scenery, realistic rendering of trees has attracted much attention. Trees have various types with different shapes and due to their complex structures, realistic modeling, rendering and storage of trees are always a tedious task. To tackle the problem, different rendering strategies are employed according to different types of trees and different scenes. For broadleaf, the z-buffer shadow generation method is used based on primary functions of OpenGL, for conifer, a ray tracing algorithm including texel-rendering technique is used, and for trees in the far distance, volumetric texture mapping is employed in terms of ray tracing and volume rendering technique. The images produced show the feasibility and validity of the proposed rendering techniques.
