Abstract: A modeling method of characteristic building based on object-oriented template is proposed through analyzing architecture construction characteristics. The template is formed on the basis of analyzing architecture construction rules in the view of architectonics, which are in comparison with O-O thought and then a framework composed of “Base Template”, “Structure Template” and “Instantiation Template” is proposed. The method can achieve the rapid construction and high-realistic rendering effect of 3D models of characteristic buildings, which is validated in the application of a tower modeling as an example.

Key words: computer application, characteristic building modeling, object-oriented template, 3D modeling
