Paper Abstract:	This paper proposes the simulation of Cellular Automata on 3D surface to show lichen and moss growth on wood. Lichen and moss were selected since they have 2 factors that are similar to Cellular Automata: first, they all have cells, and second, the cells can be born, alive and dead. Therefore it is assumed that the Cellular Automata and the 3D Surface Cellular Automata can be used to simulate lichen and moss growth on wood. The simulation can be done as follows. First, the 3D Surface Cellular Automata is used to create the grids on the 3D planes. Secondly, the Cellular Automata is applied to define the changes on the cell level of the surface of 3D models of wood. Finally, the 3D Surface Cellular Automata is again applied for the rendering and the shading of the 3D wood models. The results of the experiments show that the Cellular Automata and the 3D Surface Cellular Automata can be used to simulate the lichen and the moss growth on wood.
