Method for decorating a virtual model

摘要

The method involves using connectors for physically and electronically connecting standard blocks in a 3D structure (400) to form a model while arrangement is expressed in terms of a set of logical axioms. A program identifies large-scale structural elements of the model and processes it. Decorative attributes are assigned to the large structural model. A host (480) has access to a (490) that stores block identification numbers (491) and attributes (492) for each block of the structure (400). The attributes can include shape, size, color, texture etc physical and graphical information associated with the identified block. An application (481) can be any 3D modeling system.
