AI-Assisted Rendering
I was uncertain about how AI could truly enhance the industrial design process. To gain clarity and form a well-informed conclusion, I took the logical step of dedicating time to thoroughly studying the subject. Here’s blending Human Creativity with AI’s Capabilities in Human x AI Collaboration in the divergent phase.
It begins with ideation sketches, followed by AI-assisted renderings to further refine concepts. These concepts are then intentionally simplified into well-calculated profile drawings, reducing information to stimulate AI to generate additional variations, then leading to a selection process. Post-production techniques, such as using traditional tools like Photoshop, could be used to refine design proposals. This iterative workflow is repeated to enhance effectiveness and allocate more time for exhaustive study.
