| Abstract: | BlobTree , and its application to the generation of a complex and visually accurate biological model of the sea shell Murex cabritii. Since the model is purely procedurally defined and does not rely on polygon mesh operations, it is resolution independent
and can be rendered directly using ray tracing. An interface has been built for the BlobTree using an interpreted programming language (Python). The language interface readily allows a user to procedurally describe
the shell based on numeric data taken from the actual object.
