Abstract
This article describes a new interaction model for artistic shape generation. Instead of using a metaphor of the classical sculpting tools we propose a new approach based on a two level editing which both uses genetic programming methods: objects are created by means of subjective selection and generative evolution. We develop a new way to define these objects combining algebraic definition of implicit surfaces and CSG-like composition of these shapes. Along with these we propose a software tool that implements a simple way to manage this new approach in three dimensional objects design.
