Abstract: We study the rotor router model and two deterministic sandpile models. For the rotor router model in $mathbb{Z}^d$, Levine and Peres proved that the limiting shape of the growth cluster is a sphere. For the other two models, only bounds in dimension 2 are known. A unified approach for these models with a new parameter $h$ (the initial number of particles at each site), allows to prove a number of new limiting shape results in any dimension $dgeq1$. For the rotor router model, the limiting shape is a sphere for all values of $h$. For one of the sandpile models, and $h=2d-2$ (the maximal value), the limiting shape is a cube. For both sandpile models, the limiting shape is a sphere in the limit $ho-infty$. Finally, we prove that the rotor router shape contains a diamond.
