Inspired by the models of pigmentation patterns developed by Dr. Meinhardt, we pursued a further goal — to create a comprehensive model of seashells that would incorporate these patterns into three-dimensional shell shapes. Our motivation was twofold. On the one hand, in the absence of a formal measure of what makes two forms and patterns look alike, it is often necessary to rely on visual inspection when comparing models with nature (Prusinkiewicz, 1994). Realistic presentation adds credibility to such comparisons by removing potentially misleading artifacts.
