Abstract(in English) 3-D terrain models are required for virtual environments, movies, TV programs, video games and so on. Therefore, there is a need for a modeling system that can easily generate arbitrary terrain models. This paper presents an immersive modeling system for generating 3-D terrain models of mountain scenery. The system satisfies these demands. In the proposed system, users can design 3-D terrain shapes by drawing an outline of terrain on a 2-D plane of a sloped rear-projection display, pulling a mountaintop in 3-D space and regulating the slope of the mountain generated. As a result, complicated arbitrary terrain models are easily and efficiently generated by repeating these intuitive operations.
