Abstract
A cellular automaton (CA) is a set of rules which determines the state of individual cells on a grid, based on neighbourhood relations. CAs have been used by researchers to model a wide range of systems from cell growth to cosmology to universal computation. However nearly all such models have been on one or two dimensional grids. This article provides a brief history of the development of CAs and then extends the models to three dimensions using open source software; Blender and Python. New 3D rules are examined and the development of 3D cell configurations explored and visualized.
