Research, diffusion studies, prompting, 3D modeling, and analysis for thesis.
By taking samples generated in Midjourney, and using 3D modeling software, a model was made out of the schematic interpretations of the images diffused. Then these models were rendered, taken back to Midjourney, and diffused again with additional prompts which generated iterations of the design. This processed was called this process synthetic design.
To a certain extent, this process of interpreting, modeling, and regenerating the model back to Midjourney produced an iterative sequence of design - like a feedback loop. And thus, we did not design using the machine, but rather with the machine.
