  abstract =   "Trying to combine fractal geometry and solid modeling seems
               to be a contradiction in itself, In this paper a new type of
               3D objects is presented that accomplishes this combination
               in a specific way. Objects with a fractal macro structure
               and a 3D solid micro structure can be specified and rendered
               efficiently by using context free, attribute, geometric
               grammars. This new object type can be incorporated into the
               CSG-modeling technique (Constructive Solid Geometry) in two
               ways: a) using CSG for the specification of the micro
               structure of the new object type, b) using these fractal
               like objects as a new type of primitive in the CSG model.
               Ray tracing is used for generating high quality images of
               these geometrically complex objects.",
