Three dimensional fractal forms are most often generated
as point clouds and then converted to mesh objects. The
resultant meshes are subsequently quite large in file size
and irregular when viewed alongside similar parametrically
derived forms. Mesh conversion to NURB curves and
surfaces is a conventional process of reverse engineering
from scan data but is unique when used to interpret
algorithmically derived fractal forms. This paper explores
the process of translating the forms in a technical sense but
is largely concerned with the conceptual issues of
navigating software applications of shape grammar and of
the issues ...
