Like to welcome all those interested in generative design to this group.
This is just a start, we have a very long way to go. Generative design is now getting interesting, as it is possible with or without Genoform to create thousands of designs.
We hope that you will not start swearing when you have to go through the 1000's of designs - to find the right one. Genoform is mainly designed to help you with that - in the versions to come.
For now let’s get started. Let me also introduce to-dayyy, our community manager Andrew Butler, from Adelaide.
For those who are not familiar with Aussie drawl pl use chat.
Thanks to kao.gene for this parametric flower definition
I am controlling the parameters kao.gene set with Genoform.
These are about 100 generations I came up with. http://www.grasshopper3d.com/video/parametric-flower
I know this is pretty dodgy, but this is a loft I made in grasshopper that I have controlled with Genoform. There are about 100 generations here. I wasn't expecting such thin lofts as well, or the fat short ones, which proves how Genoform can inspire some new ideas.
This seems like a great way of working and I can see how a database of values with ranges can produce many varying results quickly. Looking forward to diving in.
The trick is to maintain the designs that you created, so that you can go back to it, analyse it, modify it and develop it. In manual user driven design processes all this is lost. Because you can only work on one design at a time.
So even with computers most designers are pushing one design at a time.It will be great if we can try out many designs at the same time - leaving the picking and development for latter.
We hope that the differences will be similar to “single processer" PCs and "multi-processor PCs". It can help turbo charge your design exploration.
Hi. I am trying to use Genoform with Vasari and Grasshopper, to do some optimization of wind and solar forms. I don't seem to be able to use Genoform for Vasari as your video shows. It says there is no CAD open but Vasari is open though...
We are happy to hear of your efforts and support it. Please tell us what windows platform, what CAD package and if grasshopper what version you are using.
Hello, I'm stuck on the same problem as some other people here. I am using Parallels on Mac with Windows 7 home premium and AutoDesk Inventor Pro 2013. I am getting the "No CAD detected" I've gone through the forums and tried most of the fixes, but nothing seems to help. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Sivam. Unfortunately, I had no luck with this fix. I'm on Genoform 2.0.0.3, is this the lastest version?

All set. Just needed a restart after your work around!

Genform is now being used to create one off Jewellery.
One Just One (a 3D printing + generative Design) project using genofom has been launched through Kickstarter.
