Cell pattern formation has an important role in both artificial and natural development. This paper presents an artificial development model for 3D cell pattern generation based on the cellular automata paradigm. Cell replication is controlled by a genome consisting of an artificial regulatory network and a series of structuralgenes. The genome was evolved by a genetic algorithm in order to generate 3D cell patterns through the selective activation and inhibition of genes. Morphogenetic gradients were used to provide cells with positional information that constrained cellular replication in space. The model was applied to the problem of growing a solid French flag pattern in a 3D virtual space
