Structure Synth is described as 'Cross-platform application for generating 3D structures by specifying a design grammar. Even simple systems may generate surprising and complex structures. The design grammar approach was originally devised by Chris Coyne (for a 2D implementation see the' and is a 3D Modeler in the photos & graphics category. There are more than 50 alternatives to Structure Synth for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, Web-based and iPad apps. The best Structure Synth alternative is Blender, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Structure Synth are Autodesk Maya, Autodesk 3ds Max, Bforartists and Cinema 4D.
