A Study on Computer Generated Traditional Ornaments by using Procedural Approach

为了开发一种程序生成华丽图案的算法，对本项目中主要使用的元球合并形式进行了基础性研究。此外，为了进一步探讨该算法在建筑装饰领域的应用，尝试使用位移映射将生成的元球图案转换为三维对象。此外，在假设该算法将应用于数字制造领域的基础上，还尝试了一个三维模型的数据生成。

For the purpose of developing an algorithm for generating ornate patterns procedurally, foundational investigation about merging forms of metaballs, a method mainly used in this project, was conducted. Further, to make a deliberation on application of the algorithm for the field of architectural decoration, converting a generated metaball pattern to a 3-D object by using displacement mapping was attempted. Besides, on the basis of assumption that the algorithm will be applied for the field of digital fabrication, a data generation of a 3-D model was also attempted.
