Abstract
In this work we present a tool for three-dimensional procedural modelling of flowers based on botanical information. The main biological input is floral formulas. It can represent the structure of a flower with numbers, letters and symbols. Based on this notation, a user-friendly interface was created. Artists need to draw several curves and provide floral formula to create a full 3d model. It speeds up the recreation of biologically-correct models and thanks to its implementation in Maya, each flower can be easily customized after creating initial model.
