Procedural Generation of Sculptural Forms
نویسنده
چکیده
Software methods in Mathematica are presented for creating visually interesting 3D forms to be produced on solid freeform fabrication (SFF) machines. Concise examples demonstrate fundamental techniques of procedural design that can be combined and extended in many creative ways. This overview should interest non-programmers who attend mathematical art exhibits of SFF objects and wonder where to begin to produce their own ideas.

The HypeDyn Procedural Hypertext Fiction Authoring Tool
This paper describes HypeDyn, a tool that supports authoring of procedural hypertext fiction. HypeDyn provides a visual interface for specifying rules and behaviours, and encourages use of sculptural hypertext and dynamic procedural change. Introduction HypeDyn is an authoring tool for creating procedural hypertext fiction. HypeDyn focuses on visualizing the content and structure of the story, ...
متن کاملSculptural Interpretation of a Mathematical Form
A number of sculptures have been created based on three-dimensional mathematical forms and surfaces. In most cases, the sculpture is an exact copy of the mathematics that it is based on. This paper explores another method to mathematically create sculptural forms by starting with a two-dimensional figure. The goal is to develop methods and insights on which elements in the original figure can b...
متن کاملProcedural Modeling as an Analytical Tool for 3D Survey in Urban Design Assessment
This paper examines procedural modeling as a tool for 3D modeling creation. Procedural modeling historically has been used for 3D visualization of natural features, but with the release of the software CityEngine in 2008, the technology can easily be adopted also in problem domains dealing with urban environments. Then, we will examine and compare two types of modeling, traditional and proc...
متن کاملTowards An Ancestry and Codification of Procedural Content Generation Techniques
Procedural Content Generation (PCG) used to be a method to circumvent technical limitations; at the present time PCG serves to automate and leverage potential surpluses of computing power. In this paper, I describe and recreate relevant antecedents to methods of PCG in game design, in order to better understand their use in the past and present. My research methods straddle both critical readin...
متن کاملART-SHTA: A Tool for Sculptural Hypertext Authoring
The ART-SHTA (Sculptural HyperText Authoring) tool supports information and concept structuring for analytical and scholarly compositional tasks. ART-SHTA employs three hypertext techniques: sculptural hypertext, spatial hypertext, and hierarchy browsing. While the notion of sculptural hypertext was originally introduced to provide tools for hypertext narratives, our approach demonstrates that ...
