June 1989

This is a report on the fourth offering of a special graduate course on geometric modeling and computer graphics, CS 285: "Procedural Generation of Geometrical Objects". This document first gives a brief overview over the course syllabus, and then combines the 17 course projects into a tutorial book. The projects described include an Escher-style tile editor, programs to edit net diagrams of polyhedral objects and to subsequently fold them into 3D objects, as well as a complementary program to unwrap a 3D polyhedron into its net diagram in one or more parts. Some generator programs create properly mitred prismatic structures or offset surfaces around polyhedral objects, while others create curved surfaces, either by smoothing polyhedra with quadric patches or by producing minimal surfaces through an iterative process.
