Abstract
This paper presents a method for modeling seashelfs, suitable for image synthesis purposes. It combines a geometric description of shelf shapes with an activator-inhibitor model of pigmentation patterns on shell surfaces. The technique is illustrated using models of selected sheUs found in nature.Keywords
