Abstract


In this study, digital Koch snowflake models are developed in a variable mathematical order using the open source Blender 3D software and the specialized Snowflake Generator Add-on application. The three-dimensional geometry of the models is mainly made by applying parametric values, with conventional operations being applied in the final modeling phase. The purpose of the study is to illustrate the process of building fractal models from the nature and to find a way to properly construct the digital geometry of the models.
