Can AI Make Something Actually Beautiful?
Переглядів 928 днів тому
On the podcast we ask the question, is AI capable of creating something beautiful? Youssef Guessous, CEO of Fater AI, discusses the topic with me and describes the role of the architect as the curator and final gatekeeper of beauty in design. Oscar also describes the uncanny valley and how that is applicable to the current state of AI

love this! Continue this type of content 👏
Will do! Thanks

Hello, I found how you write the closed curve is based on Area, that means the cure need to be on a 2D plan. How to solve this when it's 3D curves?
You can try to make your guide circle from the "Volume" centroid instead of the Area one. If the curve is more complicated, you might have to get creative with how to constrain the direction. If you make the curve in GH instead of Rhino, you can be careful to preserve the curve direction throughout your script. Does that answer your question?
From a BIM instructor to another, keep pushing forward as the efforts will materialize in time. You are doing excellent work! A small harmless feedback would be would to potentially create these situations/models from scratch to provide more context as I imagine most in the audience are not fully versed in the obvious we are. Good job once again!
Thank you for the advice!! I just wanted to provide the file and help people read it if they wanted to. But I'll consider building step-by-step in the future. I appreciate the kind words
Maybe use "populate" than centroid to generate a point for place the circle, then you can make sure every time the circle is inside the closed curve? (but I am not sure it would be robust) and Thx for your brilliant idea!
Incentivize your clients by consistently coming in under budget.
thank you so much. this issue bothered me for a long time
Hey man, I'm looking for a way to have the dimensions of the curve that would be offset from the curve itself as an annotation. Like Regular curve annotation in Autocad. Do you have any idea of how to do it ? Dim align just create an annotation with a straight line between the ending and starting point. Idk if you know what i mean. Thanks for the answer. Ciao !
Nice incorporation of the grasshopper-blender connection. Can’t wait for more!
Thanks!
good video
Appreciate it!
thanks for the useful video, one question, let's say I have several closed curves (5 - 10 rectangles), I break them into segments using an explode and offset the segments, and some of segments goes to different directions (3 adges/segments of one rectangle out and one in). How to solve this? thank you.
Explode should preserve the direction of the curve. If the same offset plane is used, you shouldn't be getting edges offset in different directions. If you still need help on this, feel free to send me a message with the file at contact@oscar3dm.com
