Abstract
In this paper we present a model for procedurally generating virtual settlements populated with roads, land parcels and buildings. Our model improves on existing research by considering historical influence on settlement growth. To do this, an interactive time-line is used, allowing for a designer to specify a number of architectural periods. These architectural periods are then used in the generation process, giving the designer a robust tool to interactively generate photo-realistic urban scenes. Our results show that a variety of settlement types and sizes can be generated. In addition, we demonstrate that road patterns within real-world settlements can be created using our system.
