Many objects in our life have very fine detailization and it would be costly to directly model such levels of the detailization. And here mathematics comes to our aid.
The whole domain of procedural methods can create highly detailed objects using rather simple mathematical ideas. There are procedural methods which can produce highly detailed textures, models of trees, landscapes and so on.
Usually such methods are parameterized, so if you have a method producing a tree model you can ...
