In this paper, we explore the problem of interactively mauipulating plant models without
sacrificing their botanical accuracy. The primary technical contribution of the paper is a
method for interactively manipulating plant structures using a inverse-kinematics
optimizatitin technique. The branches of the plant are endowed with flexural and torsional
stiffnesses, and these are used in the IK optimization. We demonstrate our approach with
several examples of plant models arranged in this fashion.
