Artificial life and other nature-inspired techniques have been applied to many problems in computer graphics. Some of these techniques are based on observations of organic systems, such as slime molds and flocking animals, and can mimic some of their behaviors and structures. The emergent behavior of these systems can improve the realism of procedurally-generated assets used in computer graphics applications, such as animation and texture maps. In this work, we provide a survey of these techniques and applications, including cellular automata, differential growth, reaction-diffusion, and Physarum. The techniques are compared and contrasted, and the common themes and patterns are elucidated to create a taxonomy which can be useful to researchers studying existing techniques and developing new ones.
