Next time turn up the aesthetically pleasing parameter.
I am really excited about a new frontier where an engineer can specify the "objective" of a product and then software can optimize on many dimensions to create it. Here's "generative design" optimizing a chair for stiffness and mass..pic.twitter.com/FZFf8n1sAM

That aesthetically pleasing dial would be a GREAT one to add! Now to figure out how to make that customizable to each person's aesthetic..
-
All right I figured it out. You just need to show each person a lot of designs and let them rate them as pleasing or not. Next use this data to train a DNN then feed designs through the DNN for a aesthetically pleasing score. QED

Where can I find out more about evolving optimization in design?
-
Autodesk has been doing a lot of generative design work. Check out their gallery in San Francisco for examples in person
-
Thanks for telling me about that gallery. Really appreciate it..

Generative design has always been impressive. What should we be optimizing for? Comfort, cost, weight, stiffness, appearance, stackability, stability, recyclability and hundreds more.... Certainly not a small list. And user selectable optimization criteria becomes critical.
-
Yes, it would be great to be able to optimize on all of these dimensions..

Thanks for sharing that - it's really great how the weight was saved..

Stunning. Bill where were those images from?
-
I found those images on Google just looking for the search term "Generative Design.."

Yep though the precursors have been around for a while - simulation, math, science, automation and CAD. Also I’ve see
@autodesk and team as well as others have generative design tools for all Science not just furniture. The interfaces and parameters will get better with time. -
Yes, I think we're really going to see a revolution in this area in the coming years..
-
Totally think you’re right. I worked in this long ago as a research engineer. I applied generative design algorithms with LISP AI code in
@AutoCAD to greatly speed up full building models later tested in finite element earthquake simulations with Cray supercomputers in 1996.

Can it opt for comfy-ness?

That would be a great optimization dimension! Very clever..

I'm not! Humans are better at designing for humans than software.

Not true. Ask someone who used Windows 3.1
-
I thought it was the best version actually. Win 95 is next best.

Good memories playing Ski Free when I was 7

so, so terrifying.
