  abstract =   "We introduce a real-time interactive visual editing paradigm
               for shape grammars, allowing the creation of rulebases from
               scratch without text file editing. In previous work,
               shape-grammar based procedural techniques were successfully
               applied to the creation of architectural models. However,
               those methods are text based, and may therefore be difficult
               to use for artists with little computer science background.
               Therefore the goal was to enable a visual workflow combining
               the power of shape grammars with traditional modeling
               techniques. We extend previous shape grammar approaches by
               providing direct and persistent local control over the
               generated instances, avoiding the combinatorial explosion of
               grammar rules for modifications that should not affect all
               instances. The resulting visual editor is flexible: All
               elements of a complex state-of-the-art grammar can be
               created and modified visually.",
