No / 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.
Shape grammars are an effective pattern generation method,
providing good aesthetic results. In this paper we present a novel
approach in generating 3D IGP using an extended shape
grammar: Parametrized Shape Grammar (PSG). PSG allows a
user to generate both original and novel forms of Islamic
geometric motifs (a repeated unit of a pattern). PSG is
generalized to generate n-fold Islamic geometric motifs in a 3D
environment, practically implemented as a 3D modeling tool
within Autodesk Maya. The parametrization within each
grammar rule is the key to generating numerous original and
novel Islamic geometric motifs.
