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.

AR based ornament design system for 3D printing

Abstract In recent years, 3D printers have become popular as a means of outputting geometries designed on CAD or 3D graphics systems. However, the complex user interfaces of standard 3D software can make it difficult for ordinary consumers to design their own objects. Furthermore, models designed on 3D graphics software often have geometrical problems that make them impossible to output on a 3D printer. We propose a novel AR (augmented reality) 3D modeling system with an air-spray like interface. We also propose a new data structure (octet voxel) for representing designed models in such a way that the model is guaranteed to be a complete solid. The target shape is based on a regular polyhedron, and the octet voxel representation is suitable for designing geometrical objects having the same symmetries as the base regular polyhedron. Finally, we conducted a user test and confirmed that users can intuitively design their own ornaments in a short time with a simple user interface.

Perancangan Ornamen "Harini" Melalui Kajian Visual Relief Latitavistara pada Candi Borobudur

Indonesia has many ornaments given that various cultures born in this archipelago. Variety of ornaments that characterizes a region refers to such cultural relics from the past. Excavation of the ornaments through the relics of the past with a rich in visual such as Borobudur may lead to the birth of the spirit of love of local product which is based on culture and tradition. Latitavistara relief which is part of the past Buddhist fragment became the main object in extracting visual object to bear a new visual language in the form of ornaments. The design of the ornament with a new visual appearance only used the visual elements of the flora in Latitavistara relief classified according to its clump type. The method used in this visual design referred to the simplification of the form leading to the symbolization inherent to the religious philosophy of Borobudur. Division levels in the pursuit of perfection contained in Borobudur were basis for determining the variations of ornament design generated. The results of this ornament design are expected to be applied into other visual disciplines which is not always be just a mere craft product. The spirit of recycling cultural heritage and traditions of the past to be a creative product with modern innovation becomes inseparable part of this design.

The Doric Order as a Fractal

Owen Jones in The Grammar of Ornament clearly states that ornament comes from a deep observation of nature. He emphasizes the importance of the harmony of the parts and the subordination of one part to another. This subordination and harmony between the parts is what fractal geometry explores as self-similarity and self-affinity. An iterated function system (IFS) is a digital method of producing fractals. An IFS in the shape of columns holding up a lintel produced an attractor displaying fluted columns with capitals and an entablature with the proper number and spacing of triglyphs and mutules. Thus, fractal geometry, through the use of iterated function systems, provides a new insight into the intention of Doric ornament design.

A molecular phylogeny of the African widowbirds and bishops, Euplectes spp. (Aves: Passeridae: Ploceinae)

The elaborate male displays and plumage ornaments in the African widowbirds and bishops ( Euplectes spp.) have inspired classic studies on mating systems and sexual selection. In order to study the extreme divergence in ornament design and expression in this group, we present and discuss a well-supported molecular phylogeny of the genus and its placement within the Ploceinae subfamily. Parsimony and Bayesian analyses were performed on 2557 bp of mitochondrial DNA (ATP6, Cyt b, ND2 and ND3) and a nuclear intron (G3PDH). All 17 Euplectes species, and 31 of 51 suggested subspecies, were included, as well as eight Ploceinae outgroups from four genera ( Amblyospiza, Ploceus, Quelea and Foudia). Our results show monophyly of Euplectes, but not of the intrageneric groupings of bishops and widowbirds. Most notably, the Red-collared Widowbird E. ardens belongs to a subclade of bishops, and not to the sister subclade of ‘true’ widowbirds. Furthermore, the two bishops E. afer and E. aureus represent lineages that branched off before this basal split, which also refutes the proposed superspecies of E. afer and E. diadematus. Also somewhat surprisingly, and despite the striking plumage similarities among the red bishops, E. franciscanus is not closely related to either E. nigroventris or E. orix (of which it until recently was considered a subspecies). Finally, the Mountain Marsh Widowbird E. psammocromius is likely closest to the Long-tailed Widowbird E. progne, and not, as previously thought, to the Marsh Widowbird E. hartlaubi.

The archKIDecture Build IT! Exhibit Project

ArchKIDecture is an independent architecture education project that encourages children to explore and participate in the built environment. The ArchKIDecture Build IT! exhibit teaches children the vocabulary of building so that they can build and interact with their built environment in a personal way that reflects and empowers them as individuals. It is also an accessible and practical context for exploring mathematical concepts such as tessellations, ornament design, symmetry, scale, proportion and composition in a tangible and stimulating way.

Female preference for swords in Xiphophorus helleri reflects a bias for large apparent size.

Swordtail fish (Poeciliidae: genus Xiphophorus) are a paradigmatic case of sexual selection by sensory exploitation. Female preference for males with a conspicuous "sword" ornament is ancestral, suggesting that male morphology has evolved in response to a preexisting bias. The perceptual mechanisms underlying female mate choice have not been identified, complicating efforts to understand the selection pressures acting on ornament design. We consider two alternative models of receiver behavior, each consistent with previous results. Females could respond either to specific characteristics of the sword or to more general cues, such as the apparent size of potential mates. We showed female swordtails a series of computer-altered video sequences depicting a courting male. Footage of an intact male was preferred strongly to otherwise identical sequences in which portions of the sword had been deleted selectively, but a disembodied courting sword was less attractive than an intact male. There was no difference between responses to an isolated sword and to a swordless male of comparable length, or between an isolated sword and a homogenous background. Female preference for a sworded male was abolished by enlarging the image of a swordless male to compensate for the reduction in length caused by removing the ornament. This pattern of results is consistent with mate choice being mediated by a general preference for large males rather than by specific characters. Similar processes may account for the evolution of exaggerated traits in other systems.

Ornamentation predicts reproductive success in female pipefish

In the sex-role reversed pipefish Syngnathus typhle females compete for access to males and males are choosy. Females develop a temporary ornament when competing over mates with other females and when performing nuptial dances with males. This ornament is an amplification of the normal striped pattern in these fishes. We here show experimentally that (1) the contrast of this normal pattern forecasts the extent to which the ornament is shown, (2) contrast and ornamentation honestly signal female quality (egg numbers), (3) contrast and ornamentation accurately predict female mating success, (4) contrast is a phenotypically plastic trait specifically exaggerated under situations of female – female competition, and (5) neither contrast nor ornament are energetically expensive to the females (i.e., they are independent of short-term nutritional status). Hence, as predicted in sex-role reversed species, ornament design is constrained by costs to female fecundity: an energetically demanding ornament would impair on a female's ability to produce eggs. The type of ornament described here is the expected one, costly for reasons other than being energetically expensive to produce.
