Abstract

3D components can facilitate the development of interactive 3D content. However, the specification of 3D components with sophisticated behaviours and complex inner structures can become a tedious an error-prone work, since support for this task primarily exists on code level. Thus, we present SSIML/Components, a visual language for the abstract pre-implementation specification of 3D components. Our language helps to decompose complicated 3D scene structures into easily manageable, maintainable and reusable parts. By automatically generating code from the visual models, a seamless transition from the design level to the implementation level is possible.
