Visual Models of Morphogenesis

Rapid progress in the modeling of biological structures and simulation of their development has occurred over the last few years. It has been coupled with the visualization of simulation results, which has led to a better understanding of morphogenesis and given rise to new procedural techniques for realistic image synthesis. This paper reviews selected models of morphogenesis with a significant visual component.
