FaMoS - a visual editor for hierachical volumetric modeling

Shape grammar systems are the suitable method for modeling hierarchically structured 3D objects. A great variety of similar objects can be modeled using only a small set of rules. We present a prototypical graphical user interface for hierarchical volumetric modeling using the split grammar approach. Our focus is on creating split rules interactively rather than through scripting. Furthermore, we extend the concept of subdividing boxes to a more general representation and evaluate it in the context of generating 3D-facades of complex buildings.
