Popis: | The complex formation of Islamic Geometric Patterns IGP is one of the distinctive features in Islamic art and architecture. Many have attempted to reproduce these patterns in digital form, using various pattern generation techniques, in 2D. Shape grammars are an effective pattern generation method, providing good aesthetic results. In this paper we describe a novel approach in generating 3D IGP using the shape grammar method. The particular emphasis here is to generate the motifs repeated units with the pattern in 3D using parameterization. These can then be manipulated within the 3D space to construct architectural structures. In this work we have developed two distinctive Shape Grammars in 3D namely Parameterized Shape Grammar PSG and Auto-Parameterized Shape Grammar APSG. Here the PSG generates the motifs and the APSG enables construction of the structures using the generated motifs. Both grammars are practically implemented as a 3D modelling tool within Autodesk Maya. The parameterization within each grammar is the key to generate both Islamic geometric motifs and Islamic geometric motif-based structures. |
