Grammar-based parametric 3D model generation for games

Within the scope of this study, three dimensional space ship models will be generated using shape grammars. Shape grammars are rule sets for the parametric generation algorithm. Using this rule set, models, which have similar outlines but different details can be generated. In this study, shape grammars are used for generating primitive shapes and connecting them to each other. The primitive shapes are defined as cylinder, ellipsoid, rectangular prism, triangle, cone and torus. Each of these primitive shapes are generated within the specified dimensions using their own algorithims. Much more complicated and sophisticated models can be generated by combining these shapes.
