Abstract
This paper presents a method to obtain a single continuos polygonal mesh representing a branched structure taken from a tree and modelled by a L-systems-based method. A refinement process is made once the model of the tree is obtained. This process produces smooth transitions in the tree areas joining the branches. That is, the overlapping problems and geometry discontinuities are avoided. Because of this process, a continuous polygonal mesh that represents all the tree branches is generated. This mesh allows mesh simplification algorithms.
