Abstract
Complex and varied shapes can be generated by applying sequences of coordinate transformations to a cube. Previous work has demonstrated the ability of the polar coordinate transformation used in conjunction with standard symmetry operations to create unusual and interesting forms. The appearance of these forms depends on the operations performed and their order. In this paper, the use of three-dimensional transformation operations, various options for visualization, and an evolutionary algorithm for exploring these possibilities are described.
