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.
