Procedural Modeling

Procedural Modeling is a method in computational design where rules and simple instructions are used to create complex shapes and structures. Designers can change a few numbers or settings and see a whole new design appear instantly, which helps when exploring many ideas quickly. This approach can help with creating patterns, city layouts, or even detailed textures, and it works well when a project needs many similar but slightly different objects. Using procedural modeling, designers can save time and create designs that would take much longer by hand. This method can help with making large environments for games or visualizations, and it is popular for creating things like trees, buildings, or landscapes in digital design.
