Elegance in pixels: current trends in computer-aided ornament design

Current trends in the field of computer-aided design of ornaments are considered, as well as trends in changes in the perception of ornaments and the creation of decorative elements. It is noted that one of the trends is the fusion of traditions and innovations. Creative rethinking of age-old traditions in ornamentation is taking place today based on the use of modern computer technologies. The development of the field of parametric design, the use of algorithms and mathematical equations to create complex, intricate patterns and structures leads to the emergence of qualitatively new patterns that cannot be repeated by hand. The advent of 3D printing and additive manufacturing has revolutionized the creation of jewelry, and it has become possible to physically implement digital designs. Rapidly developing neural networks like Midjourney, Playground AI, DiffusionBee, DALL-E 2, Fy! Studio, etc. allow you to generate objects and use them as innovative sources of creative inspiration. The article provides examples of idea generation proposed by the authors in several neural networks. The world of ornamental design is experiencing a digital renaissance driven by the integration of technology and creativity. Through the fusion of tradition and innovation, parametric design, 3D printing, generative design and a commitment to sustainability, computer-aided ornament design is blossoming like never before. Thus, computer-aided design of patterns has turned fashion into a dynamic and innovative field where tradition meets technology. There are new opportunities for designer creativity, sustainability, and personalization of fashion. As digital age technology evolves, we can expect to continue to shape new ways of making clothes and expressing our-selves creatively.
