Interactive Evolutionary Algorithms for Rhino Grasshopper.
As opposed to setting objective functions (As with Galapagos for example), Interactive Evolutionary Algorithms (IEAs) allow designers to engage with the process of evolutionary development itself. This creates an involved experience, helping to explore the wide combinatorial space of parametric models without always knowing where you are headed.

This work is sponsored by the 2016/17 UWE VC Early Career Researcher Development Award and was initially inspired by Richard Dawkins' Biomorphs from his 1986 book, The Blind Watchmaker: Why the Evidence of Evolution Reveals a Universe without Design.
Please leave comments and share your experience of using Biomorpher below. It would be great to hear from you!
I wondered, once I´ve collected and stored my values in the history solution component, is there any way to reload those values into the Biomorpher Solver to continue with the evolution process?
I´m working on some simple polyline structures that I want to 3d-print and - depending on the physical outcome - select manually the next generation with regards to the "best performing print". But right now I solved this problem by keeping the Biomorpher Window open the whole time. Any chance there is a simpler way?

Reload History Solution to Biomorpher

Hi there,
I wondered, once I´ve collected and stored my values in the history solution component, is there any way to reload those values into the Biomorpher Solver to continue with the evolution process?
I´m working on some simple polyline structures that I want to 3d-print and - depending on the physical outcome - select manually the next generation with regards to the "best performing print". But right now I solved this problem by keeping the Biomorpher Window open the whole time. Any chance there is a simpler way?
Anyway, thanks for this amazing plug-in!! - Jess
