Procedural or visual modelling allows to program and configure geometry. Various blocks are connected together to apply a chain of operations and modifications on objects.
As such, a model can be entirely regenerated after changing a setting, with no manual intervention.
This type of modelling interface exists in several software:
- Blender, with Geometry Nodes
- Revit, with Dynamo
- Rhino, with Grasshopper
- Unreal Engine, with Blueprints
- etc.
A course on procedural modelling in Blender is offered to students in the dual degree in Architecture and Engineering. At the end of this course, each group of students must propose a parametric model of a famous monument or a common type of structure. Here are a few examples:
