Coral is one of ocean organism that is beauty and various. Unfortunately, this diversity has not been explored to create artistic pattern, especially batik. Although there are lots of nature based batik patterns, most of these patterns are developed based on land plant. In the other hand, Indonesia as an archipelago country has lots of ocean biota and one of them is coral. In this research, we propose simplified computational coral model. The simplification is needed because modeling real coral growth or morphology is very complicated and resource consuming. This model then is implemented to create batik pattern computationally. This model is developed based on the stochastic approach. In this research, we propose three coral models based on the genus: Leptoseris, Gardinesoris, and Acropora. These basic coral models then have been implemented to generate batik pattern by adding artistic objects. Based on several tests, changing some controlled variables can generate different shapes or variation. In some range, the generated image still can be recognized as coral. In other range, the result image cannot be recognized as coral anymore. By ignoring complicated the environmental and biological aspects, the proposed model still can generate coral pattern and then is implemented to generate batik pattern.
