Fugu/fg is a system for procedurally generating animated geometric forms in real-time and is Open Source, in addition, Fugu runs on Windows and OS X and is available for download with plenty of examples from the File/Examples menu right in the Fugu software as well as an online function reference and a discussion site. Fugu was conceived and developed by Ben Porter, James Wetter and Jon McCormack, in association with CEMA and Monash University.

“Fugu is a procedural modelling system for 3D graphics. It supports the generation, manipulation and animation of 3D form using scripts written in the Lua programming language. Fugu contains a code editor with all the usual bells and whistles, and a 3D view in which to visualise your design. Fugu’s purpose is to support rapid exploration of code-based procedural graphics. It is currently in perpetual alpha, but works well, so check it out.”
Fugu features:
- Fully integrated environment with code pane, 3D view and error console
- A suite of mesh primitives, mesh operations, and functions
- OBJ exporter
- Fully hideable UI for presentations
- User-defined sliders for parametric control
- View a mesh in real-time subdivided and smoothed
- and more…
And Fugu has planned:
- Support for custom GLSL shaders
- Support for custom exporters
- Multi-threading and other optimisations
- More mesh operations
- Faster subdivision (GPU-based)
- and more…
