Form generation or morphogenesis is one of the main stages of both artificial and natural development. This paper provides results from experiments in which a genetic algorithm (GA) was used to evolve cellular automata (CA) to produce predefined 2D and 3D shapes. The GA worked by evolving the CA rule table and the number of iterations that the model was to run. After the final chromosomes were obtained for all shapes, the CA model was allowed to run starting with a single cell in the middle of the lattice until the allowed number of iterations was reached and a shape was formed. In all cases, mean fitness values of evolved chromosomes were above 80.
