F. Spitaler:
"Procedural Generation of 3D Building-Interiors";
Supervisor: M. Wimmer, P. Musialski; Institut für Computergraphik und Algorithmen, 2016; final examination: 2016-05-21.

In this master thesis I describe a procedural system which makes it possible to generate
3-dimensional buildings including their interior. I investigate previous work in the field
of the procedural generation of content as well as the more specialized area of procedural
generation of buildings and façades. From the work that was already published, I
identify useful concepts and unify them in this work by merging the geometry generation
techniques with the possibilities of a visual rule editor, where no "code" has to be written
to generate a complex procedural system.
With the help of some so-called production rules, which I describe in the thesis, it is
possible to create a wide variety of different buildings. By introducing two specialized
production rules, the creation of the complex geometry of building related elements like
roofs or stairs is more comfortable and easier.
While the main focus of this thesis is the development of the procedural system itself,
there are quite a few different other scientific domains that have an influence on this
work. The thesis combines procedural systems with real-time computer graphics, floor
planning, architecture and user interface design.
